How Does Water Clean Up Begin in Wheeling?

The initial mitigation actions that professionals take upon arrival to water-damaged properties often have the biggest impact on restoration's ultimate time and cost. Situations like burst pipes or appliance malfunctions can have far-reaching effects on the structure, spreading water quickly to less accessible areas. Water clean up services involve several practices to deploy evaporative drying tools in our inventory, such as positive pressure systems, air movers, and dehumidification equipment. 

Can Wheeling Homes Get Dry After Burst Pipes?

Burst pipes can allow for moisture and water to migrate into structural cavities and ceiling systems without fast action. With a general contractor license, we can repair the damaged portion of plumbing and provide access for advanced drying tools to reach trapped moisture in wall systems.

Our Restoration Process

Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

1.  Emergency Contact

When you call us, our consultant will guide you through several questions that will help us respond to your water emergency more quickly and efficiently. This initial contact is an important part of a fast, effective restoration.

2. Inspection and Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of your water damage at this stage is crucial to developing a plan of action. We inspect and test the damaged area to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration.

3. Water Removal / Water Extraction

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons from your property which helps prevent secondary water damage and mold growth.

4. Drying and Dehumidification

We use specialized equipment to remove the remaining water which is harder to access. Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home or business.

5. Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean, repair, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the water. We are adept at cleaning contents using a number of techniques. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

6. Restoration

The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.
