What is water damage restoration?
When it comes to repairing water damage, there are a couple of components that are involved. There are three basics that the process can be classified into:
1. Abatement (water removal)
2. Deodorizing and cleaning
3. Registration

Abatement – first, all of the excess water (both non-visible and visible) must be removed and the building must be thoroughly and completely dried out.
Cleaning and Deodorize – this specific part of the process focuses on getting the mess (grime and dirt) that is left behind cleaned up, and to prevent your walls, furniture, and floors from getting stained permanently. And then there is the smell! You need to something about that “yucky,” “moldy,” “musty,” or “wet-dog” smell that usually comes along with flood damage.
Even if you have a “clean water” flood that you are dealing with, it is still a difficult problem – so just imagine what it’s like when you have black water to deal with! (more about that later on).
Restoration – Summing up this part of the process is hard to do since it is all-encompassing. It always includes the first two steps above, which frequently involves using specialized professional equipment, in addition to highly trained and experienced technicians to ensure it is done correctly.
Restoration is also synonymous with the “reconstruction” or “repair” process, which can include everything from carpet replacement, carpet cleaning, aesthetic damage of light touch-ups of water sports to more extensive structural repairs such as replacing drywall, walls, and subfloors. We will restore as much as we can back to previous conditions, and while we can’t perform miracles, we’ve had great success in getting pretty close!
Is it really necessary for flood damage to be repaired?
Yes, is the short answer. Anytime there is a flood – whether it is a natural disaster or one of the reasons that were discussed above – it is crucial to get it cleaned up and repair the damage as quickly as possible.

Let’s start with the place where a majority of individuals based their decisions on – their wallet. If you don’t get flood damage repaired quickly, and it will end up getting worse and be more expensive to repair. The faster you are able to get things dried out and replaced, the less of a chance that there will be moisture that will cause your structure to have more rot, or to develop a mold problem that is potentially quite expensive.
From a health perspective, avoiding mold problems is a good enough reason to act quickly following a flood event. However, there as are other reasons besides mold.
Depending on what type of water has caused the damage, there is also the potential for there to be hazardous waste present. So how can you know? Most often, there isn’t any way of knowing whether or not you have a toxic or hazardous situation on your hands. Even if you know what the 3 main categories of water are – Clean water (Category 1), Grey Water (Category II) and Black Water (Category III), but how can you know for sure what kind of water you have to deal with? If you are dealing with a natural flood event, what about runoff from the rivers, factories, farms, or sewers nearby, that may be polluted or contaminated?
The bottom line is, it is practically impossible to be 100% sure that your situation isn’t potentially hazardous.
How much does water damage cost to repair and what does my insurance cover?
It is shown by some estimates that the average homeowners spend $1,100 to $4,100 to repair or restore water damage, with a national average being $2,600. Although, the expenses can skyrocket from that point, depending on what the extent of their damage is.

Every insurance policy and every job is different. However, both renters and homeowners insurance cover most water damage repair – depending on the situation (for example, some insurance policies will not pay out if it is clear that no maintenance or neglectful maintenance has been done by the homeowner).
To find out what the costs are for your specific case, our contractors will need to come out and conduct a “Damage Assessment,” which is basically an estimation and inspection of the extent of your problem, and what they recommend needs to be done to fix the problem.
Your insurance will likely want to do a loss assessment of their own.
The good news is that we have many years of experience work with working with insurance companies and know how to assist you with getting everything that you can from your insurance policy.
Can I do the clean up myself or will a water damage restoration company need to be hired?
We want to be clear that it is always best to have water damaged areas get cleaned up by a professional.
If you suspect that you have black or grey water, then we strongly recommend that you do not try to do the clean-up on your own.

Make sure you use common sense and be aware of the fact that there are numerous hidden dangers with this kind of work.
However, we do understand that numerous individuals will take it on themselves, anyway. So because we do care about your safety, the following are a couple of professional tips that you can use to help to reduce your risks.
Steps that you can take:
– Before you try to do any kind of cleanup, you need to unplug everything and even consider turning the power off to your home at the breakers (there can always be electrical short that you don’t know about that can be very dangerous or perhaps even fatal if you are standing in a wet area or flood).
– If you are able to connect with a safe source of electricity, a shop-vac or wet/dry vacuum can be used to try to get rid of some standing water.
– After eliminating the standing water, your floors and carpets can be steam cleaned in order to help prevent any permanent staining.
– The next step is to disinfect everything. Use your preferred household chemicals to do this. Finally, use industrial strength dehumidifiers and fans to drain all of the moisture out of the damaged area. If you don’t have professional techniques and equipment to use, then that might take several days (which will depend on the water), and you still might not be able to get everything completely dry.
Those steps do not start to address the potential reconstruction or repair that might be necessary even once the initial damage has been mitigated. We strongly recommend that you have experienced professionals take care of this step since it is critical to ensure the building’s structural integrity – whether it is a business or home.
