Our Approach to Water Damage Repair

Water damage restoration and repair involves extracting water and using drying equipment to restore your home or business to its original state. The length of this process can vary, but calling us promptly after noticing the water damage can expedite the restoration.

Halting the Flood Damage

Our process starts with evaluating the damage and identifying the water source. Whether it comes from a malfunctioning appliance, ruptured pipe, or sewage backup, our first step is to halt the water flow and fix the root cause.

Water Extraction

We eliminate all standing water and/or sewage from the impacted area. Each case is unique, depending on the volume of water, its type, and duration of presence. In some cases, if the water volume is substantial, we may need to pump it out.

Material Removal

Whenever possible, we dry structures in place. However, materials that can’t be restored are duly removed.

Drying

We employ specialized air movers and dehumidifiers to dry salvageable structures. Proper management of this process is vital to dry the saturated structures quickly and avoid additional damage. By starting the drying process immediately, we can prevent water migration and limit the saturation level of the structures.

Sanitizing and Deodorizing

Our cleanup also includes sanitizing and deodorizing the affected areas to ensure a mold and mildew-free environment once our job is done.

The Three Categories of Water Damage

Water damage can differ significantly, with varying health risks depending on the water type. We classify water damage based on the water’s cleanliness.

Clean Water – Category 1

Water from sources like sinks, showers, tubs, and supply lines is considered clean and does not pose health risks. However, if not addressed within 48 hours, clean water can turn into grey water.

Grey Water – Category 2

Grey water is moderately unsanitary and comes from appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and urine-only toilets. It can contain chemical, biological, and physical contaminants that may cause health issues. If left untreated for over 72 hours, grey water can become black water.

Black Water – Category 3

Black water is highly unsanitary and comes from sources like sewage backups, feces-containing toilets, or floodwaters. It can contain hazardous bacteria and biological matter, posing severe health risks. The exact origin of black water is often unknown, hence the quality and content remain uncertain.

The Four Classes of Water Damage

Water damage is further classified based on the evaporation time. The damage class guides the cleanup actions and the equipment required for drying.

Slow Evaporation – Class 1

Class 1 water damage impacts a portion of a room, mostly involving non-porous items that don’t significantly absorb moisture. Tiles, hard surfaces, and other non-porous materials fall under this class.

Fast Evaporation – Class 2

Class 2 water damage affects a larger area with moderately water-absorbent items like carpets, drywall, wood, and fabrics. If water has infiltrated walls up to 24 inches high, it also falls into this class.

Fastest Evaporation – Class 3

Class 3 damage occurs when water comes from overhead, impacting a substantial area. The affected materials include a mix of absorbent and non-absorbent items, all exposed to a considerable amount of water. Walls, ceilings, insulation, carpets, fabrics, and other porous materials are usually involved.

Specialized Drying Techniques – Class 4

Class 4 water damage is characterized by water reaching areas that pose significant challenges in drying and restoration. It may affect both porous and nonporous materials like plaster, concrete, and hardwood. Hard-to-reach areas or locations requiring extremely low humidity levels for drying also fall under class 4 cases.
