What Water Mitigation Includes
Water mitigation is the process of preventing further water damage after an initial incident. It’s not the same as water damage restoration, which comes later. When we arrive at your property, we work quickly to stop water intrusion, assess the affected areas, and start the extraction process. Then we begin structural drying and dehumidification to prevent mold growth and long-term damage to walls, flooring, and other materials.
We also apply protective barriers to unaffected areas to minimize the spread of damage. Our goal is always to stabilize the property as soon as possible so the restoration process can begin safely and efficiently.
Common elements of our water mitigation service include:
- Identifying and stopping the source of water intrusion
- Extracting water from floors, carpets, and subflooring
- Drying out walls, ceilings, and contents with industrial equipment
- Using dehumidifiers to control moisture levels
- Protecting structural materials from further exposure
Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water can quickly ruin flooring, drywall, and even structural supports. Our emergency water extraction service is available 24/7 to respond when you need help most. Our crew arrives with truck-mounted and portable extraction equipment. We remove standing water as fast as possible to reduce damage and prevent the need for extensive demolition.
Acting fast also lowers the risk of mold growth and can reduce the chances of permanent damage to carpets, hardwood floors, and furniture. Because no two water emergencies are the same, we customize our extraction approach based on the severity of the damage and the type of water involved.
