The process

What restoration usually looks like

Every job is different, but most follow these four stages.

Flooded entrance with a bucket and slippers in standing water

1. Water removal

Pumps and extractors pull out standing water from floors, carpet and basements.

Room with a collapsed ceiling and debris on the floor

2. Tear-out where needed

Soaked pad, baseboards and drywall that can't be dried are removed.

Clean, dry basement with sealed walls and exposed joists

3. Drying and dehumidifying

Air movers and dehumidifiers run until moisture readings are dry.

Hands fitting new steel water pipes indoors

4. Putting it back

Drywall, flooring and trim go back once everything is dry.

The goal

From soaked to dry

Standing water covering a room floor, reflecting the window
Wet Standing water, soaked flooring, wet walls
Clean, dry basement with sealed walls and exposed joists
Dry What a finished drying job aims for: clean, dry, measured

Catastrophic storm response

Hurricanes, flash floods and severe storms

When storms push water inside, call early. Restoration crews book up fast after big weather.

Seasonal risk

Water damage risk through the year

Spring

Snowmelt, river flooding and heavy rain push water into basements. Test your sump pump and clear window wells.

Summer

Hurricane season starts June 1, and flash floods follow severe thunderstorms. AC drain lines overflow in the heat.

Fall

Peak hurricane season through October. Clear gutters so autumn storms don't send water into walls and basements.

Winter

Hard freezes burst pipes in exterior walls, attics and crawl spaces, and ice dams force water under roofs.

Community stories

Situations people call us about

Typical situations and what helps. These are examples, not reviews.

Frozen water pipe against a building wall in snow

Common situation

Burst pipe after a freeze

A pipe in an exterior wall froze overnight and split when it thawed, soaking a kitchen and the basement below.

What helps: Shut off the main, then call. Water inside walls needs drying equipment, not just mopping.

Standing water covering a room floor, reflecting the window

Common situation

Sump pump failed in a storm

Power went out during heavy rain, the sump pump stopped and several inches of water spread across a finished basement.

What helps: Keep out until power is off. Pump-out and drying usually start the same day.

Room with a collapsed ceiling and debris on the floor

Common situation

Ceiling came down

A slow leak from an upstairs bathroom soaked the ceiling below until a section gave way.

What helps: Keep the room clear, switch off that circuit, and have the wet area mapped with a moisture meter.
