6 Steps for Proper Water Removal & Home Restoration

Water damage is a natural event that can happen to anyone at any time. It's important for homeowners and business owners to know how to deal with water, remove it from their home or office, and restore the property to its normal condition. If you are in need of water damage restoration or home restoration services, don't wait for the situation to get worse! At Flood Professionals, Inc., our technicians and staff know how to handle emergencies and provide top-notch services to ensure the safety of your home, family, and belongings.

Below are the steps we follow to provide you with an optimal water damage restoration service.

1. Water Removal Step 1- ShutDown the Source of Water: The first step in effective water removal is to locate and shut down the water source. Following that is an examination of the whole problem, including any damages and safety concerns such as asbestos. We create a tailored restoration strategy and give a free, thorough estimate at 1 Hr Rescue.
   
2. Water Removal Step 2- Protect Against Health Issues: Standing water from floods or a busted pipe can cause health issues and, in extreme circumstances, death. That is why it is better to leave it to the professionals to recover and restore your belongings. If you acquire them quickly enough, you might be able to retrieve damaged documents, books, and pictures. We can also salvage and recycle items, as well as appropriately dispose of them.
   
3. Water Removal Step 3- Remove All Standing Water: Proper water removal services are the first step in cleaning up. This generally involves the use of safety equipment for all professionals as well as specialized equipment such as submersible pumps, truck-mounted vacuums, and other equipment as needed. The removal of the bulk of standing water from a flooded area will aid in the prevention of further water damage and mold growth. We also utilize infrared cameras at 1 Hr Rescue to check saturation and locate any water that has crept behind your walls or in the ceiling. When the removal is finished, we'll determine if it's essential to remove your carpet and carpet pad in order to preserve the integrity of your subfloor.
   
4. Water Removal Step 4- Dry Out the Area and All Materials: Once the water has been removed, it is necessary to thoroughly dry your floors, walls, and other things. This is an important stage in water removal services, particularly if you'd like to prevent warping, swelling, mold, and other long-term concerns that can obstruct repair attempts. Using heavy industrial fans and dehumidifiers, the process lowers humidity and dries out your carpet, furniture, drywall, wood, and other items. In addition, pretty advanced equipment will be used to check moisture levels in floors, walls, and other locations until they reach an acceptable level. Dehumidification allows you to save and reuse as much of the original materials as possible. This lowers your expenditures while restoring your home's interior to pre-flood state.
   
5. Water Removal Step 5- Cleaning: It will take a lot of cleaning to get your house or company back to normal after everything has been dried out utilizing suitable water removal procedures.  This is one of our areas of expertise at 1 Hr Rescue. We provide the cleaning procedures, equipment, and instruments required to restore as many objects as possible.
   
6. Water Removal Step 6- Remove Any Lingering Odors: Finally, a portable filtering device (air scrubber) can be utilized to eliminate any lingering smells after water removal services. We sterilize and disinfect using industrial-grade cleaning chemicals, and we dispose of any damaged goods with your permission and in accordance with insurance policies.
