The Residential Water Damage Restoration Process

Depending on the source and extent of water damage, the restoration process can vary significantly. Our highly trained and experienced technicians will carefully assess your property to craft a plan that addresses your specific needs.

Each project has unique components. However, the water damage restoration process typically includes:

Inspection and Damage Assessment

A thorough inspection of your property allows our HAZWOPER-trained technicians to understand the extent and type of water damage, enabling us to develop the most effective plan of action.

Water Removal and Extraction

Standing water must be eliminated before restoration can begin. Our team uses powerful pumps and vacuum units which can rapidly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property, helping to prevent further damage to the structure and contents. Thorough water extraction also helps to inhibit mold growth.

Drying and Dehumidification

Following water extraction, your walls and floors might appear dry. However, a closer inspection will likely reveal they are still saturated. We use specialized equipment to remove water vapor and moisture that’s harder to access. Proper drying and dehumidification help prevent the walls and floors from swelling, warping, or breaking down. It also, like water removal, helps to discourage mold growth.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Water damage can affect your furniture, clothing, and other personal items. At ATI Restoration, we clean, sanitize, and disinfect all restorable items. Our professionals use a range of techniques to clean your belongings, and they’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Restoration

The final step involves restoring your home to its pre-damage condition. This could involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and installing new carpet, or major restorations, such as reconstructing damaged areas of your home. Our crews are composed of licensed and insured tradespeople from industries including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, and more. We are committed to dispatching the right individuals for every task to help ensure the smoothest and swiftest recovery of your property.

What Are the Different Types of Water Damage?

The classification system for water damage, as established by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC), has three distinct categories based on the water’s origin and cleanliness level. These are:

Category 1 Water Damage

Category 1 water damage refers to the least harmful form of water damage. This category involves clean water from sources such as broken water supply lines, tub or sink overflows with no contaminants, or appliance malfunctions involving water supply lines. Although this type of water doesn’t pose a substantial threat to human health, it can do exceptional damage to a home and its contents without prompt treatment.

Category 2 Water Damage

Category 2 water damage, also known as gray water, involves water with a significant degree of chemical or physical contaminants such as dish soap or laundry detergent. These elements can cause discomfort or illness following exposure or consumption. Sources of gray water include dishwasher or washing machine overflows, flush from sink drains, or water from a sump pump failure. Professional intervention is necessary to prevent the situation from escalating into a more serious threat.

Category 3 Water Damage

Category 3 water damage, known as black water, is the most severe type. This category involves water contaminated with human waste and potentially toxic organic matter from sources such as sewage, seawater, rising water from rivers or streams, and ground surface water. Category 3 water contains harmful pathogens, toxins, and other dangerous materials, leading to severe health effects if not handled correctly.

At ATI Restoration, our HAZWOPER-trained water damage restoration professionals have the tools, resources, and training necessary to handle and mitigate all categories of water damage, including highly toxic black water. We follow stringent guidelines to ensure the safety of our customers and their properties and work to ensure all water and traces of its damage are eliminated.

What is the difference between water mitigation and water damage restoration?

Water mitigation is a preventative measure. Our team evaluates your building for areas of water risk and helps you make any adjustments or repairs to your building. Water restoration is the process of repairing the damage caused by water being where it shouldn’t be in your building.

What are the different types of water damage?

Water damage ranges from small leaks to complete flooding. A sewage backup could cause lots of trouble and push wastewater or blackwater back into your facility. A derecho can cause flooding that damages most of your property. To plan the type of water damage response depends on the classification of water. This is based on the amount of contaminants in the water.

Damage caused by water that is generally clean and is not harmful is considered as a category 1 of water damage. It is common to refer to this as clean water damage. The most common causes for a category 1 type of damage are faulty sprinkler systems and leaking water line faucets.

Category 2 includes water that has been contaminated and can cause harm if you try to mitigate the damage without the proper protective gear. This type of water is called gray water and can cause sickness due to the levels of microorganisms and biological matter.

The last category of water is life threatening; it is unsanitary, referred to as black water. It contains dangerous toxigenic agents and pathogens from standing water or raw sewage. If ingested, inhaled, or touched, this type of water can be deadly. Fast response from trained professionals is necessary. Without the proper PPE, exposure to this type of water through the mucous membranes or any cuts and punctures on the body can lead to death. This type of water is referred to as category 3.Time is of the essence when it comes to the flood restoration process. Standing water is the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow. Also, bacteria and bacterial spores spread quickly, a category 1 can easily become a category 2 or even 3.

What are the most common signs of water damage?

There are some signs of water damage to be aware of if your property didn’t experience visible water damage. Peeling paint and wallpaper, mold and mildew, condensation, musty smell, and damp/wet carpets, carpet pads, and rugs are all common signs.
