The Water Damage Restoration Process

Every water damage situation is different, but our IICRC-certified water damage restoration service follows proven steps to get your property dry, clean, and fully restored as quickly as possible.

Inspection & Assessment

Our water technicians arrive and do an initial walkthrough to assess exactly what happened and where the loss occurred. You'll sign a work authorization so we can begin emergency water restoration and mitigation immediately. We document every detail for your insurance claim.

Water Extraction & Drying

We remove standing water using industrial-grade pumps and extractors, then strategically place air movers and dehumidifiers throughout the affected areas. Our technicians take detailed photos and begin writing the scope of work for your insurance carrier.

Monitoring & Documentation

Over the next 3–5 days, our team monitors drying equipment daily using professional moisture meters. All equipment must run continuously 24/7 during this phase. We document moisture levels at every check to prove thorough drying to your insurance adjuster.

Restoration & Rebuild

Once dry, we take final photos documenting the completed mitigation. You sign a Certificate of Satisfaction. Then our reconstruction team steps in, rebuilding drywall, flooring, trim, and paint to return your property to its pre-loss condition. One company, start to finish.

Types of Water Damage

The type of water involved in your loss determines the safety protocols, restoration approach, and cost. Our technicians assess and classify the damage on arrival.

Clean Water

Water from a sanitary source that does not pose a substantial risk. This includes broken supply lines, tub or sink overflows with no contaminants, and rainwater intrusion. Category 1 water can be safely handled and dried with standard restoration equipment. If not addressed within 48 hours, clean water can degrade to the toxic category.

Gray Water

Water containing significant contamination could cause discomfort or illness if consumed or exposed to the skin. Sources include washing machine overflow, dishwasher discharge, sump pump failures, and toilet overflows with urine, with no feces. Gray water requires more aggressive cleaning protocols and protective equipment during restoration.

Black Water

Grossly contaminated water containing pathogenic agents and toxins. This includes sewage backups, flooding from rivers or streams, and any standing water that has been stagnant for over 48 hours. Category 3 requires the most extensive safety protocols, protective equipment, and often complete removal and replacement of affected materials.

What are the different categories of water damage?

Water damage is classified into three categories: Category 1, clean water from supply lines or rain; Category 2, gray water from appliances or sump pump failures with some contaminants; and Category 3, black water from sewage, flooding, or standing water with serious contaminants. Each category requires different restoration approaches and safety protocols.
