First Response Restoration, a respected industry leader in propelling homes and businesses back from the brink of water-related disasters, feels that understanding the intricate process of water damage restoration is critical for property owners. As experts in the field, they approach each situation with a meticulous strategy designed to restore the affected area to its pre-damage state. First Response Restoration specialists follow a proven path, which allows them to tackle a wide variety of water damage challenges- from local flooding disasters to frozen pipes, and everything in between.

When First Response Restoration responds to a call requesting assistance with water damage restoration, their top priority is to respond rapidly to the client’s call for help. They understand the urgency of the matter since water damage can spread swiftly, penetrating through structures and wreaking havoc on the integrity of the building and the health of its occupants due to potential mold growth and structural deterioration.

Assessing the Damage

Upon arrival, the team from First Response Restoration conducts a thorough assessment of the property to gauge the extent of the water damage. Employing advanced diagnostic tools and moisture detection equipment, they meticulously inspect the site to identify all areas affected by moisture, including those not visible to the naked eye. This initial inspection is crucial, as it enables them to develop an action plan based on the specific circumstances of the incident.

Water Removal

After determining the magnitude and extent of the water damage, First Response Restoration proceeds to the water removal and extraction phase. Using powerful, professional-grade pumps and vacuums, they promptly remove standing water from the premises. Time is of the essence during this stage, as the longer water sits, the more damage it can inflict—amplifying the risk of structural issues and mold contamination as time goes by.

Drying & Dehumidification

After they have completed the water removal phase, the First Response Restoration experts shift into the dehumidification process. This meticulous step is vital in returning the moisture levels in the property to normal. First Response Restoration employs industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to expedite the drying process. By circulating dry air throughout the affected areas, they ensure that even the most stubborn pockets of moisture trapped within walls, floors, and furniture are thoroughly eliminated.

As the property dries, the restoration experts monitor the progress through daily check-ins, using moisture meters to track the success of the drying process. They adjust the equipment placement and settings accordingly to achieve optimal drying conditions, assuring clients that their property will be handled responsibly.

Cleaning & Sanitizing the Affected Area

Next, it's time to clean and sanitize the area that has been impacted. Water damage, especially when it involves gray or black (contaminated) water, can introduce harmful bacteria, mold, and other contaminants into a property. First Response Restoration makes certain that all of the affected areas and items are cleaned, sanitized, and treated with antimicrobial products to prevent any potential health hazards and odors. This step might involve steam cleaning for carpets and furniture, as well as dry, wet, foam, abrasive, or immersion cleaning for other surfaces.

Restore, Repair, Reconstruction

An integral part of the restoration process is to repair and restore the property to its original state or better. This can range from minor repairs, such as replacing damaged drywall and installing new carpeting, to extensive reconstruction of entire rooms or areas within the property. First Response Restoration's team works diligently to rebuild the damaged spaces, ensuring they match the pre-damage condition aesthetic and functional quality, or for reconstruction services, that the new space is exactly what the property owner has been dreaming of. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail are what distinguish First Response Restoration from a mere fix-it company to a comprehensive restoration service provider.

Handling Losses From Water Damage

First Response Restoration understands that irreplaceable losses, such as personal belongings and heirlooms, cannot always be prevented in the event of a water damage incident. They handle these items with the utmost care and sensitivity, always communicating transparently with the property owner about what can realistically be saved and what cannot. First Response Restoration wants to assure their clients that they will always do their best to mitigate damage and loss after water damage.

Prioritizing Transparency & Open Communication

Throughout the entire process, First Response Restoration maintains open communication with their clients, keeping them informed of every step and ensuring that they are a part of the decision-making process.
