Water Damage Restoration
Water damage restoration is the process of restoring your property after it has been damaged in any way by water. Water damage can come in many different forms and affect many different areas of your home.
There are three types of water damage classified by insurance companies.
- Clean water damage is when the water that has damaged your home is
safe and contains no contaminants, like when an appliance leaks.
- Gray water is the kind of water damage that contains some contaminants that are not extremely serious to one’s health, but could be unpleasant. An example of gray water damage is a toilet overflowing.
- The worst kind of damage that requires the most careful and deliberate water damage restoration is black water damage. Black water damage contains a lot of harmful contaminants, and it typically occurs as a result of a flood, storm surge, or major sewer problems.
We can help you restore your property after you experience any of these kinds of water damage.
Water damage can occur in visible ways. If your pipes burst in the winter, you may need water damage restoration. If you have a fire in your home, and firefighters come to put it out, you will have water damage. There are many different ways water damage can destroy your basement, from storm water causing floods, to moisture buildup.
Appliances can be the cause of everyday water damage to your home. If your washing machine overflows, your fridge or water heater begins to leak, or your dishwasher hose breaks, you may need to call us for an estimate on water damage restoration. We can repair the damage to your floors, walls, cupboards, or any other structure that may need it.
Visible causes of water damage are not the only ways water can damage your home. Some invisible sources include but are not limited to:
- Your bathtub leaking into your floor boards
- Your sinks and other plumbing leaking into the wall
- Your shower head leaking into the walls behind the tile
- Improperly sealed windows
- Clogged gutters that cause your roof to leak
- Condensation buildup in your attic
- Improper use of insulation
- Unmonitored air conditioners or heating systems
- Cracks in foundation
- Ice buildup in the winter
- A change to your yard’s landscaping
We are knowledgeable about the many different invisible forms water damage takes, and we have the water damage restoration skills and tools to help you get your home back to normal.
What kinds of damage can water actually do to your home? Water damage can stain your walls and ceilings and ruin your belongings. It can also rust metal and ruin drywall and carpet.

One of the most severe problems caused by water damage is structural damage. If the wood in your home gets wet, it can cause a lot of problems. If you think that your home may be experiencing this sort of water damage, let us know, the sooner we perform our water damage restoration, the less damage the water will do, and the more money you will save in the long run.
Possibly the most severe problem caused by water damage is mold. Mold loves a damp environment, and if your home is damaged by water, it is a prime spot for mold to grow. Depending on the amount of untreated mold in your home, it can cause moderate to severe health problems. Some of these health problems include:
- Asthma
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Lung and respiratory problems
- Headaches and dizziness
- Sinus and throat problems
Children, older people, and people who have chronic immune system problems are more susceptible to getting health problems because of mold.
