Just How Does Water Mitigation As Well As Restoration Work?

In the aftermath of heavy rain, basements are filled with floodwater. Mold growth rapidly spreads due to leaks in the bathroom walls. Broken fire sprinkler systems at work could flood furniture, offices and other equipment. These are only a few examples of property disasters that require professional water mitigation. Don't confuse mitigation with the process of restoration after water damage. Both are essential to your recovery. It is impossible to rebuild your home or your business if you don't first mitigate the harm. This guide covers everything you need to know.

What is Water Mitigation?
Water mitigation is the first step in a process which tackles water damage. Mitigation is the first stage in a process which prevents further harm from occurring. It involves removal of water as well as moisture control and structural drying. Water mitigation is an emergency response that reduces the impact of the initial damages. It helps prevent secondary water damage such as cracked floors, sagging drywall and buckled floors and widespread mold growth. Water mitigation sets the stage for complete service repairs and property-wide reconstruction.

Water Restoration Vs . Water Mitigation: What Are The Differences?
Now that we've covered the basics of water mitigation, we can take a look at how it differs from restoration and repair for water damage. This comparison highlights both processes and the different elements required in each.

How Does Water Mitigation Work?
Inspection and Evaluation
The mitigation technicians inspect the property and determine the extent and type of water damage. They also take care of emergency repairs and building boards up.

Water Extraction
Deep standing water is taken away from the property by trucks mounted water extraction equipment. Teams follow-up with specially designed vacuum equipment that removes residual water from surfaces that are porous.

Structural Drying
Structural drying makes use of a range of industrial grade equipment, including wood floor drying systems , subfloor drying units, airmovers with high volume, heavy-duty desiccant humidifiers, axial fans and heavy-duty axial fans.

Property Stabilization
Drying methods that are specific to the site are employed to limit the possibility of secondary water damage. For example, the drying equipment can be focused on crumbling drywall or buckling floors. Addressing secondary water damage stabilizes the building and prepares it for restoration.

Site cleaning
As the drying process progresses the water mitigation teams clear of debris, determine salvageable items and begin the cleanup process. This includes cleaning all affected surfaces and materials.

What exactly is the process for water restoration?

Material Tear-Out
The water damage restoration process starts by cutting out damaged materials such as soaked drywall, buckled flooring and damaged baseboards.

Repairs and Replacements
