Don't wait for visible signs of rot to appear; let our Utah-based specialists stabilize your home today.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Professional water damage restoration requires a systematic approach to ensure complete recovery. Our certified technicians follow industry-standard protocols established by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) to restore your property efficiently and thoroughly.
Emergency Response and Assessment
When you call our 24/7 emergency line, our team mobilizes immediately. Upon arrival, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of the damage, identifying the water source, determining the water category (clean, gray, or black water), and documenting the affected areas. This assessment guides our restoration strategy and provides essential documentation for insurance claims.
Water Extraction
Using powerful truck-mounted and portable extraction units, we remove standing water quickly to prevent further damage. Our industrial-grade pumps can extract hundreds of gallons per hour, significantly reducing drying time and minimizing secondary damage to your property's structure and contents.
Drying and Dehumidification
After water extraction, moisture remains trapped in walls, floors, and furnishings. We deploy commercial air movers and dehumidifiers strategically throughout the affected areas. Our technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to monitor progress and ensure complete drying, preventing mold growth and structural deterioration.
Cleaning and Sanitization
Depending on the water category, thorough cleaning and sanitization may be necessary. We use antimicrobial treatments to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold, while also addressing odors that can linger after water damage. Personal belongings and contents are carefully cleaned, dried, and restored whenever possible.
Restoration and Repairs
The final phase involves restoring your property to its pre-loss condition. This may include minor repairs like replacing drywall and painting, or major reconstruction of entire rooms. Our team handles everything from flooring replacement to structural repairs, ensuring a seamless restoration experience.
Types of Water Damage We Handle
Water damage comes in many forms, and our team is equipped to handle them all. We respond to emergencies throughout Utah, providing expert restoration services for residential and commercial properties.
Burst Pipes and Plumbing Failures
Utah's cold winters make burst pipes a common occurrence. When temperatures drop, water in pipes can freeze and expand, causing pipes to crack or burst. We respond quickly to minimize damage from plumbing failures, including supply line breaks, water heater leaks, and toilet overflows.
Storm and Flood Damage
Severe weather can overwhelm drainage systems and cause flooding in basements and lower levels. Flash floods, heavy rain, and rapid snowmelt all pose risks to Utah properties. Our team is experienced in handling storm-related water damage and can help navigate flood insurance claims.
Appliance Malfunctions
Washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and water heaters can all fail unexpectedly, releasing significant amounts of water into your home. We address water damage from appliance failures quickly, preventing extensive damage to flooring, cabinetry, and adjacent rooms.
Sewage Backups
Sewage backups present serious health hazards and require specialized handling. Our technicians are trained in Category 3 (black water) remediation, using appropriate personal protective equipment and sanitization protocols to safely restore your property after a sewage incident.
Why Act Fast on Water Damage
The first 24-48 hours after water damage are critical. During this window, water begins to penetrate deeper into building materials, and mold can start growing within 24-72 hours under the right conditions. Quick action can mean the difference between minor repairs and major reconstruction.
Delaying restoration can lead to warped flooring, swollen drywall, compromised structural integrity, and extensive mold contamination. These secondary damages significantly increase restoration costs and may not be covered by insurance if the delay is considered negligence.
Insurance and Documentation
We work directly with insurance companies to streamline your claims process. Our detailed documentation includes photographs, moisture readings, and itemized reports that satisfy insurance requirements. We can also provide estimates and communicate directly with your adjuster to expedite approval and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
