Water Mitigation refers to reducing the damage caused by water to a structure. Below are some of the causes of residential or commercial water damage.
Severe weather, from wind storms and snowstorms to bomb cyclones, can cause significant damage to your home or business, leading to costly repairs.
Seattle’s fall weather, with leaves, twigs, and other debris, can clog gutters, leading to water backup that can damage the ceilings, walls, and floors of your home or business.
Appliance leaks from refrigerators, washing machines, or water heaters can cause severe damage and, if not properly treated, mild or mold growth.
Clogged or broken pipes can cause water to leak under inside walls and floors, damaging your home or business.
If there is water damage, our trained technicians can remove the entire floor (carpet, tile, vinyl plank, or laminate products) and replace it, or – in the case of an engineered hardwood floor – may be able to drive down the floor low enough that they can sand and refinish it. For the carpet, we may be able to replace the pad and re-stretch the carpet. This can save you money and get you back in your home quicker. Typically, water-impacted hardwood floors will need several weeks to settle after they dry before being refinished.
Water mitigation is the process of minimizing the extent of damage to a structure, and it’s a term used to describe many of our services.
Water damage is generally classified into three tiers:
When our trained technicians initially respond to your Seattle water damage emergency at your home or building, they’ll assess the situation, speak with you to obtain all necessary information, and then outline a general game plan to restore your property. Appreciating the personal significance of your family heirlooms, photo albums, clothing, and furnishings, they’ll also determine how to minimize the amount of personal property items that might otherwise have been destroyed. We aim to provide the best water damage repair a Seattle company can offer.
Our techs will then plot every area affected by water on a detailed map—upstairs, downstairs, crawl spaces, basements, and attics—by walking through the entire structure and identifying areas of concern. The objective will be to identify areas with high moisture content and then dry or remove those affected areas to prepare them for the repair phase of the project.
Cleaning the unwanted water is the first step in restoring your home or business. We use powerful vacuums to suck up large quantities of water quickly. After water extraction, our technicians will strategically set up large industrial fans throughout the dwelling. This will continue to dry water absorbed by porous materials such as carpets, wood, sheetrock, and other items. This step is critical to prevent mold from growing behind the walls or beneath the flooring.
Proper ventilation is also key to ensure the individuals working in the area have the fresh air necessary to combat the strong odors, gases and fumes that often are present in water-damaged areas. In addition to the industrial-strength fans, the techs will open windows and doors within the room to ensure adequate, safe ventilation. In addition to health and safety concerns, this is important to prevent mold growth.
Throughout, the technicians document progress to assess what has been accomplished and how best to move forward. Sometimes certain areas may take longer than expected to dry out, for example. Or perhaps they’ll find additional items that need to be removed. So a plan may need modified based on unexpected developments, while still providing a clear road map.
All dehumidifiers, air movers (fans) and other specialty drying equipment that we use aren’t just industry standard. They’re the best in the industry. And our techs are trained in much more than how to just set them up. They optimize each piece of equipment, accounting for power limitations, room size, noise constraints and other parameters.
It varies according to the type of water damage. This includes the amount of water, the length of time the water was in the building before it was identified, whether it was a long- or short-term leak, and the types of materials affected. For instance, drywall dries out rather quickly, while wood-framed buildings may have structural elements that take longer. Considering all factors, our goal is to complete the project within a week.
