Water Removal vs. Water Mitigation
It's crucial to understand that water removal is just the first step - mitigation comes next. After our team completes the removal process, we shift gears to water mitigation. This phase involves removing any damaged, unsalvageable parts of the structure and its contents. Floors, walls, furniture - if the water destroys it, we dispose of it properly to minimize the overall loss. This often means cutting out soaked drywall or flooring sections beyond repair.
Mitigation also includes thorough cleaning, drying, and disinfecting of the property. We utilize commercial-grade equipment and products for optimal drying and cleaning. This helps eliminate pockets of moisture where mold could take hold.
