What to Expect During Water Damage Restoration in Colorado Springs

Stop the Water and Call the Professionals

The first thing that happens is you find water damage, or you experience something like a burst pipe that causes damage. First, get the water stopped, and then calling us should be one of your top priorities. The sooner you get someone in to start helping, the faster things will be cleaned up.

In addition, taking quick action helps to mitigate and reduce the damages you may be facing. That’s why so many companies offer 24/7 responses for water damage and similar problems.

Water Extraction and Drying

The next thing that needs to happen is to get the water out and start things drying. We bring in industrial water extraction appliances and heavy-duty drying equipment to help this process go faster. However, even with specialized equipment, it can take up to 72 hours for all materials to dry.

You want to get the drying process and water extraction going quickly to reduce the probability of mold. Mold can grow in as little as 24-48 hours. This is another reason moving quickly is essential.

Inspection and Assessment

Now that the water is dried up or close to dry, we can start assessing the damages. This is the time to take note of anything that will need to be replaced or repaired. Some of your furniture and items may be able to be cleaned and restored. Inspecting and assessing the damages will be the best way to create a plan and start the restoration process.

If you need to, you can take pictures of the damages. If you are filing any type of insurance claim, this can support your claim. Work with your professional company to inspect and assess the damage. Then, work together to make a plan for repairs and restoration.

Water Damage Restoration

Now, it’s time to start making those repairs and restoring the parts of your property and home that were damaged by the water. We move as quickly as we can, but depending on the extent of the damages, this could still take several days or weeks. There are many steps involved: tearing out and putting things back in, painting, drywall, etc.

We take pride in doing it right, but remember to be patient with the process.

Cleanup and Inspection

Finally, it’s time to clean up the mess, disinfect everything, and do a final inspection. This is when we make sure nothing was missed or done incorrectly. We’re almost finished, but let’s do one last check to be sure!
