INSPECTION OF RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES AFFECTED BY WATER DAMAGE

The building materials in a residential structure that can be affected by water damage are plywood subfloors, drywall, carpet, wood baseboards, ceramic tile, cabinets, and or any building material that may be near a source of water.  

The materials that are most prone to mold growth are wood-based building products.  This includes wood floors, laminate floors, cabinets, plywood, drywall, wood studs, and baseboards.  When water is introduced into the living environment these products have a tendency to mold if the damage is not mitigated in a timely manner.

DIFFERENT WATER MITIGATION TECHNIQUES

Every customer who is experiencing water damage requires different water mitigation techniques in order to properly bring their property back to pre-loss conditions.  

Depending on the source of the water damage, it may require more safety measures to ensure our technicians and our customers are safe during the cleanup.  

Sewage is water that comes from a broken drain line or drains back up and it has contaminants that are harmful to humans.  Extra precautions are needed when dealing with Category 3 or sewage water.   Most often sewage is found in a basement flood cleanup or a crawlspace.     

The majority of the time Restorex is working with our customer’s insurance company to repair water damage at their property.  There are several nuances to water damage insurance claims and we have worked with all major insurance companies on many different causes of water damage.

For example, a broken water heater is a common source of water damage.  This source is covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy.  The only thing that is not covered by your insurance policy is the cost of the plumbing repair or the new water heater.  

All of the water mitigation services and repairs will be covered in the water damage insurance claim.
