There are multiple phases to the water damage restoration process. The first phase is to remove the water as well as the permanently damaged materials. Standing flood water is removed using water extraction equipment and after the removal, specialized drying equipment and dehumidifiers are placed around the affected area to extract excess moisture out of the air and wet materials.
After the water is removed and the area is dried, the restoration and repair of the damage begins. This can include repair of damaged drywall, flooring, and other building materials, mold removal, and cleaning. The affected materials may also be disinfected if the flood water was contaminated.
