Water Damage Restoration

Speed is of the essence when water damage strikes. That’s because significant additional property damage, such as mold growth and major damage to wood floors, cabinets, drywall, insulation and other structural materials and contents, can occur when buildings are not dried quickly.

There are three different types of water damage, and each type must be restored appropriately. If losses are not properly treated according to the type of water loss, significant additional property damage such as mold, structural deterioration and a variety of health hazards can occur.

• Clean Water – These losses typically originate from frozen and broken pipes, ice maker hoses, failed water heaters, roof leaks, etc.
• Grey Water – This is water that has been used to clean something and therefore may contain contamination or soiling such as food, laundry soils, body soils and body oils, etc. Grey water damage generally comes from washing machines, dishwashers, tub overflows, spas, etc.
• Black Water – This category of water typically comes from toilet, sewer and septic system back-ups or overflows and contains human and/or animal waste. Black water carries thousands of disease causing viruses, bacteria and protozoa and can cause very serious illnesses if not treated properly.

R&E utilizes state-of-the-art Directed Heat Drying® technology. Paired with our focus on mitigation, damage caused by water can be restored two to three times faster than with conventional methods.

We also use the latest in high tech inspection tools, including thermal imaging, to determine the extent of the damage. The water is then extracted and the structure is dried. The drying process is extensively monitored and documented to ensure the fastest restoration possible.

We employ an IICRC certified technician on every loss and all work is done to the proper Standard of Care. We also specifically address any health hazards that may be associated with water damage.
