Step 6: Restoration

The final, and arguably most important, step in the process is restoration. Restoration could involve minor repairs such as replacing materials like drywall and insulation or reinstalling carpet. On the other hand, major repairs could require reconstructing entire rooms or multiple areas of your home or business. Exposure to toxic substances like lead and asbestos is possible during restoration. Older homes are likely to contain these substances. In the event of unknown water damage, many homeowners can’t prevent mold growth. A tiny leak in the roof or pipes can persist for months before you notice it. In a situation like this, the restoration process takes even longer.
