Water damage can affect drywall, flooring, ceilings, insulation, cabinets, and structural materials after leaks, flooding, or plumbing failures. Proper repair starts by removing the water and drying the affected areas.
What the Job Involves
The property is inspected for visible and hidden moisture. Standing water is extracted, damaged materials are evaluated, and areas that cannot be salvaged may be removed before repairs begin.
Signs You Need It
- Water stains on walls or ceilings
- Wet or buckled flooring
- Damp drywall or insulation
- Musty odors
- Swollen cabinets or baseboards
- Recent leaks or flooding
How the Work Goes
The water source is addressed first, followed by water extraction and moisture measurements. Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry salvageable materials. Damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, or other materials may then be removed and repaired or replaced.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the amount of water, affected square footage, materials involved, hidden moisture, accessibility, and extent of repairs. Structural damage or contaminated water can require additional restoration work.
