What is Water Mitigation?

Water mitigation is the process to minimize or prevent the damage caused by excess water or moisture in your building, typically within the first 24-48 hours after the water damage occurs. Our primary goal in water mitigation is to reduce the severity of damage and prevent secondary issues like mold growth, structural damage, and electrical problems.

Our water mitigation process includes:

• Emergency Response: We take swift action, responding promptly to assess the water damage situation, stop the source of the water, and initiate mitigation efforts.
• Water Removal: We employ specialized pumps and equipment to extract standing water from the affected area. Our goal is to remove as much water as possible.
• Drying and Dehumidification: After water removal, we thoroughly dry the affected area using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers. This step is crucial to prevent further damage and mold growth.
• Moisture Detection: We use advanced tools to detect moisture in hidden areas, such as within walls or under flooring. Identifying and addressing hidden moisture is essential to prevent long-term issues.
• Salvage and Restoration: If any personal belongings or building materials can be saved, we will sanitize and restore them. This can include items like furniture, electronics, and documents.
• Structural Repairs: Structural components that have been damaged by water are repaired or replaced to ensure the safety and integrity of your property.
• Mold Prevention: Mold can grow in damp conditions within 24-48 hours. As part of our water mitigation process, we prevent mold by thoroughly drying and dehumidifying the affected areas.
• Documentation for Insurance Claims: We maintain detailed records, including photographs, moisture readings, and repair details, to facilitate the insurance claims process.

Our water mitigation services are an essential first step in the broader water damage restoration process. We focus on minimizing the initial damage and setting the stage for subsequent restoration efforts. Our professional water mitigation services ensure your water damage is handled effectively and efficiently.
