Start With a Thorough Inspection

Inspection is the first crucial step in our water damage restoration process. We start with a thorough inspection before beginning restoration work. It gives us a better understanding of the property's condition, helps us document the damage, and shows which areas require restoration. Here are the key benefits:

Find hidden damage

Check areas that look normal but show signs of water exposure.

Understand the damage

Determine how water affected different materials and sections of the property.

Set the restoration scope

Identify areas requiring cleaning, drying, removal, or other restoration work.

Plan the work

Determine the equipment and restoration methods needed for the property.

Avoid missed areas

Inspect areas around the original water source for additional damage.

Inspect Every Area for Water Damage

During the inspection, we examine the property for water exposure, visible damage, and signs of hidden problems. We check flooring, walls, ceilings, cabinets, insulation, and other building materials for staining, swelling, discoloration, and dampness. We also inspect areas around the original water source and look behind surfaces when needed.

We use water detection meters and other inspection equipment to identify water that is not visible during a standard visual check. These readings, along with our visual inspection, help us document the property's condition.

Assess the Overall Condition of Your Property

After inspecting the property, we assess the severity of the water damage inside the property. We consider several factors, including:

Water exposure: Determine how much water entered the property and which sections were affected.
Water classification: Classify the water based on its source and level of contamination.
Structural condition: Look for signs of swelling, deterioration, or other water-related damage inside the property.
Restoration requirements: Identify the equipment, drying methods, cleaning, and other services required.
