We believe that being familiar with the essential steps of water damage restoration will help you navigate this in the most efficient and effective way. Let’s jump in.

1. Prompt Response

Time is of the essence when dealing with water damage. The longer water sits, the more damage it can cause, leading to more extensive and costly repairs. Immediate action involves stopping the source of water, if it’s safe to do so, and contacting a professional water damage restoration company. At Steamatic of Connecticut, we will promptly assess your situation and begin the drying process as soon as possible.

2. Assess and Inspect

This step is crucial to determining the extent of the water damage. At Steamatic of Connecticut, we will assess not only the visible damage but we use advanced tools, such as moisture detectors and hygrometers, to measure moisture levels and identify hidden pockets of water that left untreated, could cause unforeseen damage down the road.

3. Water Removal

The next step is water removal. This process is vital for mitigating further damage and preventing mold growth. For extensive water damage, this phase can be time-consuming but is critical for the overall restoration process.

4. Drying and Monitoring

After water removal, the drying, dehumidification and monitoring phase begins. With our state-of-the-art extraction, drying and monitoring equipment, we work to ensure that the structure and contents of your home are fully dry. By employing a moisture meter, we can determine how fast the drying process is occurring for all surfaces and materials. Monitoring the drying progress and adjusting the equipment as necessary is crucial to ensuring a safe environment.

5. Cleaning and Restoration

Water damage restoration often involves a process of professionally cleaning and restoring all of the affected areas. This step includes cleaning walls, floors, and personal belongings, as well as addressing any mold that may have started to grow. Treatments may be applied to prevent future mold and mildew growth, ensuring the area is safe and clean for occupants.
