Step 2: Inspection and Water Damage Assessment

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

Once we arrive to a water damage emergency, we begin a detailed inspection of your home or property, including a damage assessment. This will ensure our professional technicians can determine the extent of the damage & develop the appropriate plan of action to ensure your wellbeing. At this stage, our professionals are trying to determine the scope of the damage so that we can develop an appropriate plan of action.  Have no fear of being left in the dark! Our highly trained technicians will communicate that plan to you so that you can rest easy knowing you have made the right decision.

Identify and Stop the Water Source

We will check for the source of moisture in your home or business. The source must be stopped before any restoration or drying of the building can be successful.

  • Stop the Source
  • Check for Contaminated Water

Identify the Type of Water

We will identify the category and classification of water damage to ensure our professionals restore your property based on industry guidelines. The level of contamination of the water will affect the specific restoration processes we use.

  • Category 1: "Clean Water"
  • Category 2: "Gray Water"
  • Category 3: "Black Water"

Survey the Extent of the Water Damage and Inspect the Premises

We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. In addition, we will inspect for safety concerns that may be evident. If there are any safety issues like lead or asbestos, please bring them to our attention.
