Water Damage

Regardless of the cause of the water damage (natural disaster, leaking water from a broken sewer pipe, damaged roof, or a broken hose from a major appliance), water damage constitutes the single greatest threat to a home or business structure. Not only is water damage restoration one of the most difficult of all remediation challenges, but it is also a ticking time bomb that threatens the life of a structure.

In addition to the obvious destructive nature of water to your home and contents, water damage also invites mold and bacteria as well as insect infestation and can permanently compromise the property’s structural integrity.

That’s why you need a water damage restoration pro like Premier Restoration to attack the problem with the most experienced water damage mitigation team armed with the most up-to-date water extraction equipment designed to successfully combat the challenges inherent to complete the water removal and total property restoration. Proper water damage remediation requires tools that can’t be leased from the local hardware store.

Premier Restoration employs powerful modern machinery capable of thoroughly removing thousands of gallons of wastewater for its safe and environmentally friendly disposal.

Thermal imaging technology is used to detect hidden pockets of moisture behind walls and under floors.

Powerful air movers are strategically placed to ring every drop of moisture from the premises.

When we arrive on the scene, the mold remediation team begins by initiating a visual inspection to determine the location of the mold infestation in the property and on all personal possessions within the structure. Many times, however, the biggest danger with mold infestation comes from what you can’t see. Black mold spores easily spread to unaffected areas and threaten the entire property.

Our water extraction team works using techniques and tools to salvage personal possessions and furnishings. And last, diagnostics tools determine the presence of any remaining threat such as mold, toxic chemicals, or bacteria.

Step 1: Initial Contact

The first step of the process is when you contact us. For emergency situations, you can call us at 512-913-9113. Alternatively, contact us using our online form or using our website’s chat feature. We provide 24/7/365 responses. So, even if you are having a water damage emergency in the middle of the night, you can count on us to come as quickly as possible.

During the initial call, our specialist will discuss the situation with you and determine what needs to happen.

With water damage, speed is often essential. So, we will promptly dispatch a technician to your home or business.

Some of the questions you may be asked include getting your contact information, your insurance information, the address of the damaged home or business, a short description of the situation and damage, and whether there is electricity available.

We ask these questions so that our technicians can get right to work upon arrival. Don’t worry if you don’t know the full extent of the damage, we will do our own inspection.

Step 2: Inspection and Assessment

During this step, our technician(s) will arrive at your home or business and inspect the water-damaged area. Our team members are expertly trained to thoroughly assess both the problem causing the water and the level of damage. You can assist with this process by answering questions about plumbing, water shutoff valves, and other aspects of your home or business. These are the elements of this water remediation step:

-Assess Safety
The first step is to ensure safety. In particular, they will determine if there is a risk of electrocution. If there is significant water and/or it is near electrical wiring, the technician may need to shut off the power to the area or structure. Additionally, if the damage is very severe, the technician may need to ensure that the area is structurally secure enough for work.

-Identify Source
Next, they will identify where the water is coming from. This includes stopping any additional water from entering the area by shutting it off.

-Assess the Water
Once the area is safe the water is shut off, the technician will examine the water. This includes determining whether the water is contaminated. This assessment determines some of the specifics of the remediation process.

-Assess the Water Damage
During this stage, the technician will also assess the extent of the damage. This includes checking for additional safety concerns such as lead or asbestos.

-Other Inspections
Finally, the technician will check for any situation-specific concerns. For example, he or she may identify and move any furniture that may cause rust stains on carpets.

Step 3: Water Removal

After the inspection, the next step is to remove the water. By thoroughly extracting the water, our technicians help to ensure that the drying process is faster and more complete. This is essential for minimizing the risk of mold and secondary water damage.

We use a combination of submersible pumps, industrial-strength wet vacuums, dehumidifiers, and water analysis tools to ensure optimal performance. In addition to our expertise, our access to proper equipment helps us to offer results that are simply not attainable through DIY or working with a non-specialist.

During this process, we also continue to perform inspections as we get greater access and a clearer picture of the damage. We work quickly to help minimize the risks associated with sitting water.

Step 4: Area Drying

Following the water removal, there is still the challenge of dampness soaked into walls, floors, and furniture. Water retained in these can cause warping, swelling, and other damage. Additionally, anything that is damp for an extended period can start to grow mold.

To combat this, we use industrial-strength dehumidifiers. We have specialized tools that can help us remove dampness from the air as well as from specific items such as floors and walls. Additionally, we constantly monitor the progress using specialized tools to ensure that the process is proceeding correctly.

Step 5: Cleaning

Once the affected area is dry, there is likely still some dirt, odor, and microbes that need to be taken care of. This is especially true if the water was contaminated.

We will sanitize all affected areas using antimicrobial and antibacterial treatments. Our most significant priority in water damage restoration is making sure the area is safe. Proper sanitization is a key part of them.

Additionally, we will assess all the affected items to determine what can be cleaned and restored. We try to save as much as possible using dry cleaning, wet cleaning, abrasive scrubs, and more. When necessary, we will also dispose of refuse.

Step 6: Water Damage Mitigation

The final remediation step is to repair the damage caused by the water as much as possible. This should start right after the cleaning process is done. We are able to provide some repairs to minor building damage. Additionally, our technicians can help with emergency services such as boarding up, tarping, moving, and fencing off affected areas and items.

A contractor may be required to repair more significant structural damage if it has occurred. We can help you find the right help and provide a detailed assessment to help ensure the success of rebuilding.

Additionally, we will answer any questions you may have about what comes next. We know that water damage can be a stressful and concerning experience.
