What is Water Damage Restoration?

When your property experiences water damage in any capacity, it’s critical to have specially trained technicians conduct a thorough inspection as soon as possible. Undetected and unattended water will continue to wreak havoc – damaging structural foundations and creating an environment for toxic mold growth. Using state-of-the-art equipment and specialized training techniques, water damage restoration is the process of bringing your property and possessions back to pre-loss condition. This includes removing destroyed components, cleaning and disinfecting salvageable items, thoroughly drying the space, and rebuilding structural functionality.

Common Causes of Water Damage Include

  • Broken, Frozen, or Leaking Pipes
  • Backed Up Sewer
  • Clogged Drains
  • Heavy Rains, Storm Surges and Flooding
  • Toilet, Tub, or Sink Overflow
  • Fire Extinguishing
  • Failed Washing Machine Hoses
  • Excessive Humidity
  • Structural Damage
  • Leaking Roof
  • Blocked gutters
  • Foundation Cracks

It’s typical to find ceilings, kitchens, and basements to be most susceptible to damages as they’re closest to pipes and appliances that may leak. When water damage occurs, some areas become affected, which you may not see, including:

  • Underlays
  • Subflooring
  • Baseboards
  • Drywall
  • Insulation
  • Drainage Systems
  • Shower Trays

What You Should Do If You're Experiencing a Water Damage Emergency

  1. Call Us Immediately with Your Emergency, 24/7: First and foremost, bring in professional assistance for the fastest and safest assistance. Dial (844) 500-4775 and our friendly service representatives will guide you through the process and dispatch a special crew to your home or office.
  2. Begin Removing as Much Water as Possible: Always turn the electricity off before entering a room with standing water. If you cannot access your power system without entering a water-logged room, do not attempt removal because of the risk of electric shock.
  3. Remove Any Unattached Rugs or Floor Coverings: Moisture can weaken the backing of your flooring and ruin it beyond repair – especially if there is ample traffic in the space. Bringing rugs and mats outside of the affected area will help to prevent further water seepage throughout the floor of the room.
  4. Move Any Susceptible Items of Value to a Safe and Dry Location: Any smaller pieces of furniture, books, and décor should be removed. Once our team arrives with a full recovery plan, we’ll pack up and move out any valuable items to be professionally cleaned and restored.

What You Should NOT Do During a Water Damage Emergency

  • Do NOT Enter Rooms with Standing Water: Not only does standing water pose a risk of electrical shock, but it may also be contaminated. Once the water has grown stagnant, it creates an ideal environment for bacteria growth and insect invasion, both of which come with the risk of serious health problems.
  • Do NOT Disturb Visible Mold: Mold growth in a water-damaged area may be toxic. If you notice mold, it’s best to avoid it or you’ll risk spreading the spores further throughout your property. Our team will conduct testing to determine the level of mold before eliminating the source and ensuring your air quality is safe for return.
  • Do NOT Use Any Electrical Appliances on Wet Flooring: Using a mop and blotting up excess water is the safest method – you should never use a household vacuum to try ridding the area of moisture. Not only will it ruin the appliance, but it also creates an electrical hazard. Even wet/dry vacuums will be ineffective as they are not powerful enough to remove floodwater. When we arrive, we’ll utilize highly effective industry equipment to safely extract moisture and dry out the room.
  • Do NOT Lift Tacked Down Carpet: Carpet removal is one of the most hazardous parts of water damage restoration. Bacteria begins growing very quickly, and exposure can lead to severe illness. Our team has extensive training and safety equipment to properly remove carpeting, pack it up, and haul it away.

We Arrive at Your Home Quickly

Even if it’s 2 a.m. or a holiday, we are always available to provide the emergency restoration services you need. Since water damage begins very quickly after leaks or floods, you’ll want to call for assistance as soon as the problem arises.

We Assess the Water Damage

A thorough inspection to fully understand the scope of damages ensures that every detail is tended to. Within minutes of exposure, contamination can spread. Our team will assess every component of your property, including:

  • How much water has entered the property
  • How long the water has been sitting
  • Whether or not the water has reached the foundation
  • Whether or not the water has been contaminated
  • How many possessions were affected

We Provide a Water Damage Restoration Plan of Action

There are various places impacted by water damage you might have included in your plan, such as:

Basement

Whether the flooding occurred from torrential rainfall, drainage problems, burst pipes, or sewer backups, the basement is often vulnerable to water damage.

Plumbing

Your pipes may have a leak or full burst, from freezing or clogs causing backups.

Drywall

However water damage starts, once it seeps within the walls, your drywall becomes a damp space for mold to thrive.

Ceiling

Water that enters the ceiling can cause sagging or falling ceilings and trap moisture, becoming another area for mold infestation.

Roof

Water leaks into roofs through improper seals, missing shingles, or damaged flashing. If left alone, it will continue down throughout the rest of the property.

Our team will work with you to establish a plan of action tailored to your situation before we start water mitigation to prevent further damages from spreading. Once mitigation is complete, we help you fully recover, handling fundamental repairs before moving on to cosmetic improvements.

How Much Does Water Damage Restoration Cost?

During our assessment of the damages, our Service Team of Professionals provides a tentative timeline for recovery and includes a pricing estimate for services. Cost will vary depending on several components, including extent of the damage, water contamination levels, and mold growth severity. These factors, among others, dictate how long the restoration process may take, thus impacting your estimate for services. More complicated jobs require more resources and time to return the property to pre-loss condition.

Factors that Determine the Cost

Categories of Water Damage

The amount of water, type of water, and time since damage started all play a role in your restoration cost. Our professionals determine how salvageable your property and possessions are based on the category of water damage. The origin of the water impacts the category it’s classified within.

Classified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, And Restoration Certification (IICRC), the categories of water damage signify the range of potential contamination:

  • Category 1: Clean Water – The least hazardous category, clean water indicates the moisture came from a sanitary source. This could include rainwater, water supply lines, or toilet tanks.
  • Category 2: Grey Water – The grey category indicates significant contamination. Sources may be dishwashers, aquariums, or washing machines.
  • Category 3: Black Water – If your water reaches category 3, it may contain toxic agents. These potentially hazardous materials come from sewage, seawater, or rain from hurricanes.

The Extent of Damage and the Area Affected

When you call STOP Restoration, you’ll receive the benefit of a response time in less than 90 minutes as we understand how critical fast action is in saving both money and time on recovery.

Common factors considered for extent of damage and the area affected include:

  • Size of the area – the larger the area, the more time repairs take. For example, one room will likely be less costly than restoring an entire floor.
  • Time since the problem started - swift response and proper corrective action effects the amount of time recovery takes, as the longer problems sit unattended to, the more intensive the restoration process becomes.
  • Amount of water – while the size of the space impacted by water plays a significant role, the amount of water is also very relevant. A burst pipe that’s addressed immediately may be a quicker repair process than addressing a steady leak that’s led to toxic mold growth.
  • Affected materials – materials react to water in different ways, creating a variance in how recovery can take place. For example, vinyl flooring may be repairable in sections rather than damaged carpeting that requires being ripped up entirely.
