Elite Restoration Process

Our Restoration Process

01

Initial Inspection and Damage Assessment

  • Our certified technicians conducted a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the water damage and moisture levels.
  • Affected Areas Identified
    • Basement: Water-saturated flooring, walls, and bottom two steps of the carpet.
    • Laundry Room: Flooding damaged walls and baseboards.
  • We provided the homeowner with a detailed restoration plan and coordinated with their insurance provider to initiate the claim process.
  • Flood cuts were identified as necessary for proper drying and mold prevention.

We explained our plan to the homeowner, detailing the equipment and techniques we would use to address the damage. We also reached out to Liberty Mutual to coordinate the insurance claim, ensuring the client’s peace of mind.

02

Water Extraction and Flood Cuts

  • Using advanced extraction equipment, including a Ninja water extraction unit, we removed standing water from the affected areas.
  • Flood cuts were made in the basement and laundry room to remove waterlogged drywall and ensure proper airflow for drying:
    • In the basement, we removed all flooring and flood cuts to wall sections up to a safe height.
    • In the laundry room, flood cuts were made to remove damaged drywall and ensure moisture elimination.
  • Extracted water from the carpeted steps in the basement and removed the bottom two steps of carpeting for replacement.
03

Drying and Dehumidification

Once the excess water was removed, we set up a drying system to address remaining moisture:

  • Strategic Equipment Placement:
    • 10 high-powered fans placed throughout the basement and laundry room to circulate air and speed up evaporation.
    • 1 commercial-grade dehumidifier to control indoor humidity levels and remove excess moisture from the air.
  • Monitored humidity levels continuously using moisture meters to ensure drying was progressing as planned.

This stage was crucial in preventing mold growth and ensuring the structural integrity of the property.

 

04

Monitoring and Documentation

During the drying process, we provided ongoing updates to the homeowner and documented every step of the restoration process for their insurance provider.

  • Our technicians monitored moisture levels using advanced detection tools to ensure complete drying.
  • We documented the restoration progress with photos and moisture readings, which were submitted to the insurance adjuster for claim processing.
05

Final Cleanup and Restoration

  • After the drying phase, we conducted a thorough cleaning of all affected areas:

    • Sanitized all surfaces to eliminate bacteria and contaminants from the floodwater.
    • Recommended replacement options for flooring and carpeting in the basement and laundry room.
    • Provided the homeowner with tips on preventing future water damage, including waterproofing options and maintenance tips for plumbing systems.
