Step 2: Inspection and Water Damage Assessment
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Why Is It Important to Inspect Your Property?
Following a water damage event of any size, it is crucial to have your property inspected by certified water mitigation experts. This is the first thing our crew does upon arrival. This step is crucial in order to prevent any moisture from going unnoticed. Moisture that isn't mitigated quickly can cause major damage to your property, such as a mold infestation.
If you have noticed signs of a water loss on your property, don't hesitate and give our SERVPRO team a call! Our crew will quickly respond and will immediately begin inspecting your property and creating a detailed damage assessment as soon as we arrive at your property.
Identify and Stop the Water Source
We will check for the source of moisture in your home or business. The source must be stopped before any restoration or drying of the building can be successful.
- Stop the Source
- Check for Contaminated Water
Identify the Type of Water
We will identify the category and classification of water damage to ensure our professionals restore your property based on industry guidelines. The level of contamination of the water will affect the specific restoration processes we use.
- Category 1: "Clean Water"
- Category 2: "Gray Water"
- Category 3: "Black Water"
Survey the Extent of the Water Damage and Inspect the Premises
We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. In addition, we will inspect for safety concerns that may be evident. If there are any safety issues like lead or asbestos, please bring them to our attention.
