Before you can begin the restoration process, it’s crucial to assess the extent of the water damage in your home.

Once you have assessed the extent of the water damage, the next step is to begin drying and dehumidifying the affected areas. This is crucial in preventing further damage and the growth of mold and mildew. We start by removing any standing water using a wet/dry vacuum or mop. Open windows and doors to promote air circulation and use fans to help speed up the drying process. Additionally, using dehumidifiers can help remove excess moisture from the air. We also make sure to monitor the humidity levels regularly and adjust the settings on the dehumidifiers accordingly. It’s important to thoroughly dry all affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and furniture, to prevent any lingering moisture that could lead to further damage or mold growth.
