Water damage events are potentially devastating and tremendously stressful experiences. Stemming from diverse factors, from natural flooding to burst pipes, these incidents can wreak significant havoc on your home. At Clair Restoration, we understand this stress and have designed an effective process to help you restore your home to its pre-damage state, minimizing the hassles and disruption to your life.
1. Damage and Safety Assessment
The first step after a water damage event is to conduct a thorough damage assessment. This step involves not only identifying and stopping the source of the water but also ensuring that the affected area is safe to commence the clean-up and restoration process. In cases of severe flooding, it may be necessary to evacuate the home until the situation has been properly assessed and the area secured.
2. Call in the Professionals
Handling water damage is a delicate task that requires specialized skills and knowledge. Therefore, it is essential to get in touch with professionals like us at Clair Restoration. Our team is trained to handle the restoration process safely and efficiently, ensuring that your home returns to its pre-damage state with minimal stress to you.
3. Damage Documentation
Before initiating the clean-up and restoration process, it is vital to adequately document the damage for potential insurance claims. This process involves taking photographs and conducting a detailed inventory of damaged items. At Clair Restoration, our team will assist you in this step to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation for your insurance provider.
4. Water Extraction and Drying
Once the damage has been documented, the next step is to remove all the water and commence the drying process. We use professional tools and equipment to ensure that all the water is efficiently removed and the affected areas are thoroughly dried to prevent the emergence of mold and other bacteria.
5. Cleaning and Disinfection
Water removal is just the first part of the process. Once the affected areas are dry, they need to be cleaned and disinfected to remove any bacteria or mold that might have grown. This ensures that your home is clean and healthy before you move back in.
6. Restoration and Repair
The final step is the restoration and repair of your home to its pre-damage state. This can involve repairing damaged structures, painting walls, replacing damaged furniture and other items.
