Common Water Damage Emergencies We Handle
From burst pipes to sewage backups, our Master-certified team responds immediately with proven protocols
Burst Pipes & Flooding
Immediate water extraction, structural drying, and damage mitigation to prevent mold and structural failure. Critical response within 4 hours.
Sewage Backups
Category 3 water (black water) requires specialized handling. Safe removal, decontamination, and sanitization following strict health regulations.
Storm & Flood Damage
Large-scale water intrusion from storms, roof leaks, or basement flooding. Complete extraction, drying, and restoration services.
Appliance Failures
Washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters, and HVAC failures can release hundreds of gallons. Fast response prevents widespread damage.
Hidden Leaks
Slow leaks behind walls or under floors cause gradual damage and mold growth. Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture sources.
Strata Unit-to-Unit
Multi-unit residential flooding requires coordination and fast action. Protect multiple suites and minimize liability exposure.
Our Master-Certified Restoration Process
1. Emergency Contact & Immediate Response
Response Time: Typically within 2-4 hours, 24/7/365
When you call, we gather critical information about the source, extent, and type of water damage. We dispatch immediately with appropriate equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE).
2. Inspection & Damage Assessment
IICRC-Certified Assessment: Complete moisture mapping using thermal imaging and moisture meters
- Identify all affected areas—not just what's visible
- Classify water category (clean, grey, or black water)
- Determine extraction and drying requirements
- Document for insurance claims
3. Water Extraction
Commercial-Grade Extraction: Remove standing water quickly to minimize damage
Using truck-mounted and portable extractors, we remove hundreds to thousands of gallons rapidly. Fast extraction prevents secondary damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration.
4. Applied Structural Drying
IICRC Applied Structural Drying Certification: Controlled drying prevents mold and structural failure
- High-velocity air movers create airflow across wet surfaces
- Commercial dehumidifiers remove moisture from air
- Controlled temperature and humidity for optimal drying
- Daily moisture monitoring and documentation
- Typically 3-5 days for complete structural drying
Critical: Proper drying within 48-72 hours prevents mold growth and protects structural integrity.
5. Cleaning & Sanitization
All affected areas are cleaned and sanitized using EPA-approved disinfectants. Contents are assessed for salvageability and cleaned or disposed of according to safety protocols.
6. Monitoring & Documentation
Complete Documentation: Daily logs, moisture readings, and photo evidence for insurance claims
We provide comprehensive reports showing the entire restoration process, moisture levels, and final dry readings. This documentation is critical for insurance approval and claim processing.
7. Restoration & Reconstruction
Once drying is complete and final clearance is given, reconstruction begins. From drywall replacement to flooring reinstallation, we restore your property to pre-loss condition.
