The Water Damage Restoration Process

Restoring your home to live-able, pre-damage and disaster condition involves water removal, decontamination, and drying. In cases of water damage it’s important to act fast and to be smart. Standing water and moisture create the perfect environment for bacteria and mold. Prolonged exposure to an environment like this can lead to allergic reactions and even disease. Parts of a water-damaged home may need to be rebuilt. Materials like drywall and carpet that have absorbed water often develop bacteria and mold that can’t be removed. Replacing these materials is safer than allowing infectious organisms to saturate the air.
