Step 1: Initial Inspection and Damage AssessmentThe first step in water damage restoration is assessing the extent of the damage. When you contact Vertical Restoration, we’ll promptly send a team to inspect your property. During the inspection, we’ll:

• Assess the cause of the water damage.
• Check for hidden moisture in walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Identify any immediate health risks such as mold growth or contaminated water.

This assessment helps us determine the appropriate restoration plan and equipment needed for the job.

Step 2: Water ExtractionOnce the inspection is complete, the next step is to remove any standing water from the affected areas. We use high-powered pumps and vacuums to extract water from floors, carpets, and furniture. Our team works quickly to ensure that the area is cleared of excess moisture, preventing further damage.

Step 3: Drying and DehumidificationEven after the visible water is removed, moisture can still remain within building materials. To prevent mold and additional structural damage, we use advanced drying and dehumidification equipment to remove any lingering moisture. This step can take several days, depending on the extent of the water damage.

Step 4: Cleaning and SanitizingWater damage doesn’t just leave behind moisture; it can also bring debris, dirt, and contaminants into your home. Our team will clean and sanitize all affected areas, ensuring that everything from furniture to floors is thoroughly disinfected. We use specialized cleaning agents to eliminate bacteria, mold spores, and other harmful microorganisms.

Step 5: Restoration and RepairsAfter the drying process is complete, it’s time for repairs and restoration. Depending on the severity of the damage, this could involve:

• Replacing damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation.
• Repairing or replacing plumbing systems.
• Restoring wooden beams, furniture, and other materials.Our team works diligently to restore your property to its pre-damage state.

Step 6: Final Inspection and Quality AssuranceBefore we consider the job complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure all areas have been properly dried, cleaned, and restored. We’ll check for any signs of lingering moisture and ensure that your property is safe and habitable.
