When water damage strikes, the effects can be devastating. That’s why water damage mitigation is one of the most important steps to take during damage repair and restoration. Water damage mitigation prevents further damage from affecting your property and valuable assets. Let’s dig a little deeper into what water damage mitigation is and why it’s crucial.
If you just experienced water damage in your home or business, then you have solutions at Cleanup & Total Restoration. Our team has professionally trained technicians to mitigate and restore your property from start to finish. For over 25 years, we have been bringing Southern Idaho properties back to their pre-loss conditions.
Water damage mitigation and restoration may sound similar, but they’re not. Below are the key differences between water damage mitigation and water damage restoration.
We can’t restore your property before we dry it. Water mitigation prevents water damage from impacting the integrity of your property and belongings. Cleanup & Total Restoration uses specialized drying and disinfecting equipment to ensure the damage doesn’t get worse.
Water damage restoration always comes after mitigation. When we restore your home or business, we take the necessary steps to repair your property back to its pre-loss condition. This means physically replacing walls and floors, eliminating mold, and repairing roof damage.
Since water damage restoration can’t happen without mitigation, we ensure that our mitigation process is performed thoroughly and efficiently.
When CTR mitigates your water damage, you can expect us to:
If you are able to safely stop the flow of water before we arrive, you should. If you are unable to stop the flow of water, our experienced technicians will. This is a vital first step in mitigating your water damage.
Once the flow of water has stopped, we can assess the damage without the interruption of a flood. When we assess mitigation damages, we plan the best possible course of action to salvage the affected area and nearby belongings.
Your property is full of valuables and meaningful belongings. The last thing we want is to throw your furniture and materials out—especially the items that are irreplaceable. Our team works hard to salvage your belongings by drying, disinfecting, and deodorizing.
Your carpet or flooring won’t dry on its own. Water that hasn’t been properly dried and extracted can lead to harmful mold growth or structural issues. That’s why we use powerful, specialized drying equipment to fully extract water from the affected area.
Before we begin restoration, we want to ensure that your property is structurally sound. If no structural damage is found, we can start repairing and restoring your property back to its original condition.
Idaho residents have been choosing Cleanup & Total Restoration time and time again. If your property has suffered from water damage, you can count on us to be there in 60 minutes or less. With 24/7 emergency services and a fleet of IICRC-certified technicians, there’s no reason not to call CTR.
