What is Water Damage Mitigation?

Water damage mitigation is the emergency response that prevents further damages after a leak or flood has affected your home. It involves water extraction, moisture detection, structural drying and dehumidification. A properly executed mitigation process reduces the total damages caused to your home, limits repair costs, and is usually covered by your insurance.

Extracting standing is the first part of the water mitigation process. It’s the quickest and easiest way to remove moisture from the affected areas. A thorough initial extraction will reduce drying times and reduce the total restoration cost

Masking and Containment Zones

We always protect the unaffected areas of your home by masking the floors and by crating a containment zone to isolated the affected area. This prevents dust from spreading and protects floors, furniture, and air quality.

Demolition and Flood Cuts

If needed, clean flood cuts are made in the drywall to remove wet insulation and help with the drying process. When demolition is needed, it’s done with precision and care, to limit the amount of repairs that are needed.

Insurance Claim

One of the most important parts of the entire process is the insurance claim. Our team works directly with your insurance carrier and provides them with all the important information to make sure you claim is covered, and you don’t have to pay out-of-pocket.
