About the Water Damage Restoration Process
There’s no way to predict when water damage might occur in your home or what might cause it. Whether there’s a flood in your area, an appliance malfunction in your home, a pipe leak, or anything else causes water damage in your home, you need to have restoration services performed promptly and professionally. At Bay Restoration & Air Duct Services, our professional Virginia restoration contractors are always ready to provide you with water damage repairs when you need them. We have the experience, expertise, and equipment to make sure that your home is back to its excellent condition as soon as possible.
Every occurrence of water damage is a unique situation, but the process for restoring your home stays largely the same. Our professionals will follow the general steps listed below to help you ensure that your home is completely restored and in great shape if it suffers any water damage:
1. Contact Our Professionals
As soon as you contact us, the restoration process begins. Immediately, we’ll start to determine the extent of the water damage so that we can decide what resources and equipment we’ll likely need for the job.
Our Virginia restoration contractors are available 24/7 for any emergency services you may need for your home, and we’re always ready and eager to begin the repairs.
2. Inspection and Assessment of Water Damage
We’ll be at your home as soon as possible after you request service to begin an inspection and determine the scope of the water damage. We’ll inspect and test your home to find the extent of the damage and see how far the moisture has traveled. This allows us to provide your Virginia home with the most thorough water damage repairs possible.
3. Water Extraction
Almost immediately upon our arrival we’ll begin remodeling the water from your Virginia home. The majority of the water will be removed very quickly. We use powerful pumps and vacuum units to quickly and thoroughly eradicate all moisture.
Hundreds of gallons of water can be removed in a short amount of time, which helps to prevent any secondary damage from occurring (e.g., mold growth).
4. Drying and Dehumidification
Next, we’ll use specialized equipment to remove the remaining moisture that is more difficult to access. We’ll use a number of advanced tools and techniques to remove trace amounts of moisture from your home and to dehumidify its air. This minimizes the risk for mold and mildew growth or further moisture damage.
5. Cleaning and Sanitizing
Any items or water damaged structures that can be restored will be cleaned and thoroughly sanitized. We’ll use advanced techniques to clean the contents of your home and our professionals are trained to use sanitizing treatments to remove odors from any part of your property.
6. Restoration
The last step is restoration. We’ll restore your Virginia property completely and make sure that it’s in the same condition it was prior to the water damage. This may involve minor repairs like replacing drywall or installing new carpeting, or it may require reconstructing parts of your property.
