Water mitigation is the process of reducing or preventing the amount of water damage that occurs after a flood, leak, or other water intrusion. In the following series of steps we demonstrate how our restoration experts would address and minimize the impact of water damage on a property. Here is an overview of our water mitigation process:

1. Assessment and Inspection

• Identify the Source: The first step is to locate and stop the source of water. This could be a burst pipe, a leaking roof, or a natural flood.
• Stop the leak: If the source of the leak is still active upon our arrival we will take immediate action to stop the leak and minimize any further impact to surrounding areas.
• Water Damage Assessment: Inspect the extent of the damage and the type of water involved (clean, gray, or black water), which affects the approach and safety measures.

After the initial water mitigation process we move to the remediation process where we begin draining, drying and cleaning the damaged property. Our remediation team uses it’s many years of experience combined with strict protocols to ensure the work is carried out in an efficient manner.

2. Water Removal

Extraction: Use pumps and vacuums to remove standing water. The quicker the water is removed, the less damage it will cause.

Drainage: Ensure proper drainage to prevent water from returning.

3. Drying and Dehumidification

Drying: Use industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out the affected area. This step can take several days to ensure all moisture is removed.

Moisture Monitoring: Regularly monitor moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings to ensure thorough drying.

4. Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning: Clean and disinfect all affected surfaces to remove any contaminants, especially if the water is gray or black.

Mold Prevention: Apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth, which can begin within 24-48 hours of water exposure.

Odor Removal: Use air scrubbers and fogging equipment to remove odours caused by water damage.

5. Restore and Rebuild

• Repairs: Repair or replace damaged materials, such as drywall, flooring, and insulation. This may involve minor repairs or major reconstruction, depending on the extent of the damage.
• Complete water removal process: With our state-of-the-art water removal and drying equipment all water and excess moisture is safely and effectively removed even from hidden areas.
