5 Key Steps to Help Understand the Water Damage Restoration Process

Step 1. First Response Assesses the Damage

Our office will schedule a time for a project manager to meet you at your home to assess the Water damage in your home. We will utilize a moisture meter and infrared camera to check for hidden water damage behind your walls and flooring. Once this is complete, we will develop an effective, yet efficient strategy for remediating the damage within your home.

Step 2. Emergency Water Removal

Once our contracts are signed, we can then dispatch technicians to start the process of removing any standing water from your home. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art truck-mounted extraction units and pumps. These specialized tools help by rapidly removing large amounts of water from your home. This step is extremely time sensitive since mold growth can occur within the first 48 to 72 hours.

Step 3. Cleaning & Sanitizing

The Next critical step is the cleaning and sanitizing of the Water Damaged areas of your home. Before the home can be dried you need to first disinfect the areas of concern. First Response utilizes plant-based cleaning agents to ensure your health isn't at risk. This step helps by minimizing the potential of any mold growth since all the bacteria is killed!

Step 4. Dehumidification

Once all the standing water is removed and the affected areas are cleaned the next step in our Water Damage process is to ensure that your home is properly dried. This step is crucial to prevent any mold growth. Our IICRC Certified technicians are trained to stabilize and reduce moisture levels within the home.

Step 5. Restoration

The last step in the Water Damage process is restoring your home. We will work directly with your insurance carrier to ensure your home is restored to pre-loss conditions.
