Water damage

Water damage needs a prompt, careful response.

Water can wick into drywall, travel along joists and remain under flooring without showing at the surface. Mold can begin growing in 24 to 48 hours, so we use moisture detection equipment to identify the affected materials and begin drying promptly.

A person answers 24/7, and a First Responder is typically on site within 1 hour to establish the next course of action. We assess what can be dried, explain what may need removal and give you a clear plan for the next steps.

What happens next

What happens after water damage, in order

A basement backup, a burst pipe, a plumbing overflow, an appliance leak or an ice dam: every water job runs through the same sequence, in a home, a rental, a business or a public building. This is the work, in the order it happens.

Assess

Locating the water you can see, and the water you cannot

Water wicks into drywall, travels along joists and sits under flooring without showing at the surface. We use moisture detection equipment to find where it has gone, explain what can be dried and what may need removal, and give you a clear plan for the next steps. The inspection and estimate come with no obligation.

Extract

Removing standing water

Standing water is extracted first, from carpet, hard floors and the basement, so drying starts against as little water as possible. A basement sewer or storm backup is a sewage cleanup, which is its own service.

Dry

Structural drying, in place where the materials allow

Carpet, hardwood floors, cabinets, subfloors, tile and grout, and wall cavities by injection drying. Floor-drying mats pull moisture through finished hardwood, and ceilings can be dried where they are, so more of the original home stays in place.

Treat

Anti-microbial treatment

Mold can begin growing in 24 to 48 hours, which is why drying starts promptly. Affected surfaces receive an anti-microbial treatment; if mold has already taken hold, mold inspection and removal is its own service.

Rebuild

Removal, then the rebuild

Whatever could not be dried is removed. The rebuild goes to our sister company, Keselman Construction Group, and our project manager facilitates communications between you, the municipality, our suppliers and the professional tradesmen to make sure things run smoothly and the timeline is followed.

Claim

Documentation for your insurance claim

We document the loss for your claim and work directly with your adjuster — photographs and a record of the work completed, organized as the job moves forward.

Dried in place

Three drying jobs — a ceiling, a tile floor and a hardwood floor — dried where they were rather than torn out.

Drying hoses run up into the ceiling of a kitchen, taped in around the cabinets — A ceiling dried from below: hoses feed warm, dry air into the cavity so the drywall can stay up.

Floor-drying mats taped down over a tile kitchen floor, with an air mover beside them — Drying mats sealed to a tile floor pull the moisture out of the subfloor beneath it.

Floor-drying mats and a dehumidifier set up over a hardwood floor — Floor-drying mats pull moisture through the finished hardwood so more of the original floor can stay in place.
