Assessment and Inspection

The water damage restoration process begins with a thorough assessment and inspection by our expert technicians at EFS Restore. When you contact us for assistance, our team will promptly arrive at your property to evaluate the extent of the water damage. This initial step is crucial as it helps us determine the appropriate course of action for your specific situation.

During the assessment, we identify the source of the water damage, assess the affected areas, and determine the category of water damage (clean, grey, or black water). This information is essential for devising an effective restoration plan tailored to your needs.

Water Extraction

Once the assessment is complete, we proceed with water extraction, which removes standing water from your property. Using advanced equipment such as industrial-grade pumps and wet/dry vacuums, our skilled technicians work swiftly to eliminate excess water.

Prompt water extraction is crucial to prevent further damage to your property and reduce the risk of mold growth. Our team ensures that all standing water is removed, including water that may be hidden in walls, ceilings, and flooring.

Drying and Dehumidification

After water extraction, the next step in the water damage restoration process is drying and dehumidification. Even when it seems like all visible water is gone, moisture can linger in building materials and the air. Our experts use industrial-strength air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the affected areas thoroughly.

This step is essential to prevent structural damage, mold growth, and odors. We continuously monitor the moisture levels to ensure that your property is completely dry before moving on to the next phase of the restoration process.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning and sanitizing your property is a crucial step in the water damage restoration process. Our team employs professional-grade cleaning agents and disinfectants to eliminate any contaminants or bacteria that the water damage may have introduced.

We clean and sanitize all affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and personal belongings when possible. This ensures a safe and healthy environment for you and your family once the restoration is complete.

Restoration and Repairs

Once your property is dry, clean, and sanitized, we move on to the restoration and repairs phase. This involves repairing or replacing damaged structural elements, such as drywall, insulation, and flooring. We aim to restore your property to its pre-damage condition, making it look and feel like home again.

Our skilled technicians are experienced in both minor repairs and major reconstruction, ensuring that your property is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Final Inspection

Before we consider the restoration process complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that every aspect of the restoration meets our high standards and your satisfaction. We leave no stone unturned, making sure that all repairs are impeccable, and your property is safe for occupancy.
