About Water Damage Restoration Response Team

Water damage restoration covers everything between the moment water gets into a building and the moment the building is dry again. A local crew stops the spread, pumps out the water, finds the hidden damp and dries the structure before drywall, framing and flooring begin to break down. To start the work, call Water Damage Restoration Response Team at (888) 612-9219, day or night.

A typical job moves through four stages. Pumps and truck-mounted extractors remove the bulk water. Meters and thermal cameras trace where the rest went. Materials that cannot recover are cut out and hauled away. Dehumidifiers and air movers then run until the readings come back in range.

Every step is measured against IICRC S500, the industry drying standard. Under it, water is sorted into three categories, with sewage always in the worst one, and losses are rated Class 1 to 4 to size the equipment. Anything porous that sewage or flood water touched is removed instead of dried.

The paperwork starts on day one. Time-stamped photos, moisture maps, daily readings and an equipment log build a file that supports an insurance claim. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.

The crew does not fix pipes or appliances. A plumber or appliance technician handles the source, and drywall, paint and flooring are rebuilt once the structure is dry. Whether the problem is a leak, a flood or a backup, the first move is the same: call (888) 612-9219 and say where the water is.
