Water Damage Restoration and Mitigation: Everything You Need to Know

When a property suffers water damage, it is critical to act quickly to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of its occupants. Water damage restoration is the process of mitigating and repairing the damage caused by water, restoring the property to its pre-damaged condition.

What is Water Damage Restoration?

Water damage restoration involves several key steps, including:

  • Water Removal: Standing water is extracted using pumps and wet/dry vacuum cleaners.
  • Drying: Moisture is removed from affected areas using air movers, dehumidifiers, and desiccants.
  • Structural Repair: Damaged building materials, such as drywall and flooring, are replaced or repaired.
  • Cleaning and Disinfection: Affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent mold and bacteria.

By following these steps, property owners can mitigate the damage caused by water and restore their property to a safe and habitable condition.
