Water Damage Restoration Process

Emergency Contact

When you reach out to us, our team will guide you through a series of questions designed to help us assess the situation and respond effectively to your unique emergency. We’ll gather the necessary information to schedule a time for us to inspect your property and create a customized restoration plan. A quick response is essential, so we’ll aim to arrange this visit as soon as possible.

Inspection and Water Damage Assessment

Upon arriving at your home, our team will conduct a thorough inspection of the water damage, explaining the severity and identifying any hazards that may exist. We will also determine which areas can be restored and, if needed, help stop the source of the water damage. This critical step allows us to formulate an effective plan of action for restoring your property.

Water Removal

The restoration process typically begins with removing standing water to prevent further damage and speed up the drying process.

Damaged Material Removal

If certain materials are beyond repair, we’ll discuss the situation with you and remove them promptly to accelerate the drying of salvageable items. This helps move the restoration forward smoothly.

Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Deodorizing

Water damage often requires specialized cleaning, sanitizing, or deodorizing for affected areas, such as floors, furniture, and personal belongings. We utilize advanced products, top-tier equipment, and proven techniques to address these needs and ensure your space is restored thoroughly.

Drying

After the excess water has been extracted, our team uses advanced drying equipment to remove the remaining moisture hidden within materials. This equipment targets water trapped in floors, walls, and other surfaces, bringing them back to a normal moisture level. The type and amount of equipment we use is determined by your specific situation and follows industry standards.

Monitoring

During the drying phase, our team will return daily to monitor progress, check the performance of the drying equipment, and adjust as needed. This monitoring ensures that your property is drying properly and helps achieve efficient results.

Repairs and Construction

Once the initial restoration steps are completed, some areas of your home may require repair or reconstruction to return it to its pre-damage condition. Whether it’s minor repairs or rebuilding larger sections, H&L Contractors can handle both the damage mitigation and the reconstruction process, saving you time and simplifying the entire restoration journey by managing everything under one roof.
