Inspection
Once a technician arrives, they will inspect and evaluate the damage. They will use special tools and instruments to measure the moisture content of the material within your home or business. Material such as floors, baseboards, drywall and ceilings in the affected areas recording there finding and accurately mapping the affected areas. Temperature and humidity levels will also be recorded in order to create an appropriated drying plan.
Standing Water
Some damage occurs after the initial water intrusion. In fact the most devastating factor is standing water. Standing water can and will migrate under walls and spread to other areas of your home or business, as well as working up into porous materials like your drywall and cabinets. So the sooner the excess water is removed, the better.
Sewage Clean Up
Sewage Damage is the most dangerous form of Water Clean Up. The possibility of blood-borne pathogens and other contaminants can cause serious health risk.
Drying
Once all standing water has been removed, it’s time to start drying out the home. Equipment is added in order to quickly control the humidity levels and removed the excess moisture within the affected areas. Drying equipment can be present for several nights depending on factors such as the length of time the water has been present and the source of the leak. The technician working on your home will be able to assess how long the equipment will be needed.
Containment
The containment process and drying process happen simultaneously. While drying out the structure, affected areas are isolated in order to prevent any cross-contamination as well as to maximize the drying affected and get your home and business back to you as soon as possible.

Demolition
In some cases, demolition may be a necessary part of the restoration process in order to restore water damage. The water intrusion source and the time the area has been affected will determine the need for demolition. Other reasons for demolition are the building materials. Not all materials were created equal and not all material do well when exposed to water or high moisture level.
Monitoring
Throughout the drying process your technician will stop by periodically to monitor the drying progress. They will record the Dehumidifiers intake and output temperatures and humidity levels as well as take readings of the same surfaces inspected during the initial inspection process.
Structural Cleaning
Water damage signs are not always apparent. Discoloration on walls and ceilings from water on surfaces are obvious while odors trapped in hidden places such as wall cavities are not as much. Fresh Start technicians will perform a thorough cleanup using industrial-grade equipment and products as well as follow industry guidelines.
Completion
Once the home or business has been returned to its previous dry state, the water damage cleanup process is considered complete. At this point the drying equipment will be removed from the home and your technician will confirm your satisfaction of the work.
FLOOD PREVENTION TIPS
Don’t ignore leaks water doesn’t like to sit in one place. It likes to travel, especially through porous materials like drywall, carpeting, and underneath floorboards.
Watch your water bill many pipes are hidden in walls and underneath the sub flooring making it hard to know if there’s a leak or not.
The roof is your main line of defense against the elements, so it’s important to maintain it. Here’s what to look for: broken shingles, built up debris from trees, cracked flashing or roof vents
Be Careful When Planting Trees Know where major pipelines are located before you plant trees. Trees will grow towards the nearest water source and will easily break pipes apart in order to access the water inside.
Check any appliance or pipe that’s connected to a water supply line regularly as it has a chance of springing a leak or bursting.
Other than a puddle of water on the floor, here are some other signs that your appliances might need some attention:
- Sounds of water running even though nothing is turned on
- Unpleasant odors coming from floors, walls, or drains
- Reduced water pressure
- Mold growing around the appliance
Replace any brittle, rusty, leaking, or damaged houses as soon as you notice them.
Know Where Your Water Main Valve Is & Turn It Off Before Leaving Town Every homeowner should always know where to locate their water main supply valve is in case of a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe.
