What to Do Upon Discovering Water Damage
If you experience water damage, here are a few of the first things you should do:
- If possible, shut off the water source that is causing the water damage (e.g., a leaking pipe or overflowing appliance). This will help prevent further damage. If you can't stop the leak yourself, call a professional.
- When it's safe to access the power distribution panel, turn off circuit breakers in wet areas of the house. Make sure you do this before you attempt to unplug or remove any electrical devices from the drenched carpet or submerged areas.
- Take pictures and document. Take pictures of the water damage, including any wet furniture, carpeting, walls, ceilings, etc. These will be helpful when filing a claim with your insurance company.
- Put aluminum foil under furniture legs or feet that may come into contact with wet carpet or water.
- Curtains, drapes, and furniture skirts should be lifted away from wet carpets or water.
- You should remove books, papers, fabrics, shoes, potted plants, and other items that can stain wet carpets.
- Keep all valuable items in a dry place. This can include art, gadgets, documents, and luxury items. Ensure that furs and leather goods are hung at room temperature and away from radiators and heating vents.
- If the weather permits, open windows and doors to allow for air circulation.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process From Start To Finish
Our water damage restoration process is designed to prevent further damage and cross-contamination and to protect your family's health and safety. We ensure that damaged areas are dried and restored according to industry standards. In order to restore your property from water damage, we use the following steps:
1. Inspection
Our technicians will assess the damage at your home to determine the extent of the water damage. This helps us determine the type of water damage, contamination level, and equipment required for a successful restoration services. The inspection serves to estimate how much work is needed.
Our technicians can also find and stop the source of the water leak during the first visit, especially if it's an emergency. A timely response is important, so we aim to make the inspection immediately after your call.
2. Water Mitigation
Our team removes all water and moisture as soon as possible to prevent additional damage. Aside from preventing the spread of water in the structure, it can also help to significantly reduce drying time. Our technicians use powerful pumps and extraction units to quickly remove standing water or dry wet surfaces.
3. Damaged Material Removal
We will inform you if any materials cannot be successfully restored. Usually, these materials are removed as soon as possible to expedite the drying of any materials that are restorable.
4. Drying and Dehumidification
Once the water has been removed, effective drying must be carried out. During the drying process, both the structure and materials are dried. Meanwhile, the process of dehumidification removes moisture from the air and prevents secondary water damage from condensation. We check the moisture levels in the walls and floors to make sure the area is sufficiently dry.
5. Sanitization and Cleaning
Once the area is dry, we perform deodorization to eliminate unpleasant scents. After deodorization, we perform an extensive, professional cleaning. This process can include spray and wipe cleaning, dry cleaning, and wet cleaning. We might use foam, abrasive, and immersion cleaning procedures. Our specialists work hard to preserve as much of your property as possible. If mold restoration is required, it will be done at this stage. Also, sanitizing surfaces and making sure to do it right is part of the process.

We will thoroughly clean and disinfect your objects that can be restored. Among the items we clean and restore are carpets, furniture, gadgets, books, documents, and art.
7. Monitoring
Our technicians may visit your property periodically throughout the drying process to ensure materials are drying properly, check drying equipment performance, and make changes as needed. We consider monitoring to be a vital part of ensuring the best results of the restoration process for your property.
