Professional water damage services are urgent when you notice problems. What can you expect during bathroom water damage restoration?
- Stop the water damage: The first step is always to stop the problem ASAP. As licensed professionals, we can repair plumbing problems that are causing water leaks and protect your home.
- Extract water and moisture: We remove excess water and moisture from all bathroom surfaces, including flooring and walls.
- Remove other contaminants: Our commercial extraction equipment can mitigate damage from flooding. We also have extensive experience with sewer-related problems.
- Clean and disinfect the room: After removing water and soils, we completely sanitize the bathroom, including hardwood and other affected surfaces. This eliminates viruses, bacteria, and mold spores.
- Evaluate damage: Our experts analyze the damage to bathroom surfaces. Depending on materials and the amount of damage — and your personal preferences — we let you know if repairs and replacement are needed.
