In-depth
How Our Water Damage Restoration Process Works
Water damage can strike at any time — a burst pipe in the middle of the night, a flash flood during a storm, or a slow leak that goes undetected for weeks. Whatever the cause, the key to minimizing damage and restoration costs is rapid response. Our certified water damage restoration team arrives on-site within 60 minutes of your call, equipped with industrial-grade extraction and drying equipment.
Our restoration process follows IICRC S500 standards, the gold standard in the water damage restoration industry. We begin with a thorough assessment using thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to map the full extent of water intrusion. This ensures no hidden moisture pockets are missed — a critical step in preventing secondary damage like mold growth and structural deterioration.
Once assessment is complete, we deploy our multi-phase drying system. High-capacity extractors remove standing water, followed by strategic placement of commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. We monitor moisture levels daily, adjusting equipment placement as needed to achieve optimal drying conditions. Most residential properties reach target dryness within 3-5 days.
Beyond structural restoration, we understand the emotional toll water damage takes on families. Our content restoration team carefully inventories and treats affected personal belongings, from family photos to important documents. We work directly with your insurance company to streamline the claims process, so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.
