CRUCIAL STEPS – The Disaster Restoration Process

Our flood damage restoration service follows a very strict process. 

This is absolutely necessary if we are to assure our customers that their homes or businesses are safe to be occupied again.  Every step in our process ensures that the emergency is resolved quickly.

  The steps include:

Inspection and Assessment

The first step once we are at your home is to inspect the extent of the damage. 

Before we start any repair, we must know what we are up against. Our technicians will determine what water damage restoration is needed before administering any services.

This step helps us to determine which methods we are going to use to clean your home.  It also determines the tools that are to be used in the process.

We’re going to access both the extent of the damage and see what can be salvaged. Then we’re going to get you a financial estimate of the loss. This is important, especially if you have insurance for water damage, as we take an inventory of what can be saved vs. what must be scrapped. If you have a plan, Insurance companies cover a portion of the costs to restore your home in Tulsa. Our water damage restoration technicians do the rest.

We to use sensing equipment to determine where there’s damaged material in walls, floors, ceilings, and in other places like support beams. We need to know the full extent of the situation in order to properly create a gameplan to eliminate the problem and restore the building to a proper condition.

Categorize and Classify The Water Damage And Determine Next Steps

The second step is to categorize and classify the water and prepare items for removal.  Floods and leaks are categorized into three: clean, grey and unsanitary.

Clean –  source likely inside the house. This is water you’d normally encounter, like that from a sink or tub.

Grey – There are hazards in it. These could be biological, chemical, or physical wastes. This is why it’s important to evacuate a property when  damage is present. Until we can classify the damage, we don’t know what unhealthy material might be in the flooded area.

Unsanitary – (often called “black waste”) can be raw sewage, harmful fungi or bacteria, or heavily polluted. The primary concern is health issues when a person is around this. This condition is known to actively hurt humans and created long term health issues. It can also severely impact a property if not treated immediately. That’s why a water damage restoration is needed quickly.  

These categories help to identify the source problem that has led to damage.  Clean water comes from broken pipes and faucets.  On the other hand, grey is that which has been used.  A good example is soapy leaks from dishwashers.  Finally, unsanitary waste comes from sewage, leaking toilets with feces and floods to name a few.

Before administering any emergency restoration service, we also have to classify the water damage and determine how to best repair it. 

There are four major factors we consider: a slow rate of evaporation, fast rate of evaporation, the fastest rate of evaporation and specialty drying services. 

These factors are determined by the type of material that the leak or flood damage is in contact with.

Remove Any Debris Or Material In The Area

Unfortunately, most properties that have damage have lots of wet and likely moldy items or materials. This could be anything from carpet, wood flooring, or personal items that are no longer safe to be around. That’s when it’s time to call in damage restoration services.

Once we finish inspecting the damage and extent of the repair needed, we will begin to remove any wet or damaged items. Periodically we may need to remove drywall too as the drywall can be soaked and mold can start forming inside of it. 

Our #1 goal is your health and safety. That’s why we need to thoroughly remove any wet and damaged floorboard and dry wall. This makes the next step, drying out the property, much easier and will result in a more thorough job and leave your property in a better final state. 

Other smaller items and personal belongings can be dried out manually so we don’t have to discard them. We understand how hard it can be to lose personal, and often well loved, items. That’s why we do everything we can to save your belongings. 

Thankfully, most personal items that are not physically attached to a structure can be dried out and are just fine. In the case of grey or black water, personal items might need to be discarded if they’re found to be contaminated. This is to prevent long term health issues. 

Extraction and Dehumidifying The Water And Drying Out The Area

This step is straightforward.  We remove any residue from carpet, other surfaces and your home in general. We also remove all the items that have been damaged beyond repair.  After this, we dehumidify the premises to ensure that you are free of any remedial moisture.

An effective disaster restoration service will leave the area dry, free of water and mold, and will make the property safe for people again.

We detail how damage restoration services work. We will also show you how fire and smoke damage can impact a building.

Replacing Wood, Carpet, Drywalls, And More

Now that we’ve dried and dehumidified the property we can begin refilling the space. Typically, we replace wet and damage ceilings and floorboards first. So they are the first to be replaced as well. We fully restore the interior of the building and replace any walls and internal structures. You’ll have a beautiful new interior space. We test every area to make sure there are no more leaks. 

Once everything is replaced we clean up any debris we may have left behind and leave your property in excellent, like-new condition.  Our goal is to provide damage repair in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and every where in the county of Tulsa Oklahoma.

Caulking And Repainting The Interior

Now that the damage restoration is complete and your property is in good shape, we finalize everything by re caulking and painting the interior. Our clients often love that “new home smell” that comes from a nice recaulking!

 We paint your walls and ceiling with a fresh coat of your preferred color. Our goal is simple – make your property “like new” or as close as possible to it. This prevents more water damage issues from appearing as caulking can cover up any cracks where water might get through. At the end, we will also need to do carpet cleaning. 

COMMERCIAL VS RESIDENTIAL RESTORATION SERVICES

Our flood restoration services are suitable for both commercial and residential areas.  Although the process is the same, it is tailored to suit your particular home or building.  Once we have carried out the initial inspection, we can explain every step we are going to take and how much it will cost you.  We’re on a mission to be the most affordable water damage service.

What To Do If There’s Mold

In the event of severe damage we will need to remove any mold in the area. 

Mold remediation services are important as mold is a severe health issue. 

Mold is known to cause multiple types of respiratory issues and can impact other parts of the body. 

Quickly removing mold can prevent many health issues. That’s why we’re here for all your restoration needs. Call us our customer service technicians for fast response. 

 The Mold Remediation Tulsa OK Process
