What Does Water Damage Restoration Include?

When a pipe bursts, a roof leaks, or a flood occurs, the resulting chaos can feel overwhelming. The term “water damage restoration” is often used, but what exactly does this comprehensive solution entail when performed by a trusted provider like Technique Flooring & Restoration?

For over 35 years, our mission has been to provide astounding solutions, meaning our water damage restoration service is far more than a basic service—it’s a precise, structured process executed by IICRC-certified technicians committed to superior quality and customer satisfaction guaranteed.

4 Phases of Water Damage Restoration

Phase 1: Emergency Response and Assessment

Water damage doesn’t keep business hours, which is why our service starts with a 24/7 emergency line.

• Immediate Water Extractions: The moment we arrive, our priority is to remove standing water quickly. We use powerful, professional-grade equipment for water extractions to prevent further saturation of building materials, which significantly reduces the potential for costly secondary damage.
• Damage Assessment: Our experienced professionals meticulously inspect the affected area. Using advanced moisture detection tools, we map the extent of the water intrusion—even moisture hidden within walls, ceilings, and under subfloors. This determines the scope of the required drying and restoration work.

Phase 2: Structural Drying and Dehumidification

This is the most critical and specialized part of the process, demanding certified expertise. Many property owners mistake visible dryness for actual dryness.

• Controlled Environment Creation: We deploy high-powered air movers and industrial-grade dehumidifiers to create a balanced environment that rapidly and safely removes moisture from the structure.
• Monitoring and Documentation: Our certified expertise ensures we monitor temperature, humidity, and moisture content daily. This data-driven approach confirms that all materials are dried to their pre-damage, safe standard. This level of detail is necessary to avoid issues like warping, buckling, and, most importantly, mold growth.

Phase 3: Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Remediation

Water damage often involves contaminants, requiring professional cleaning and sanitization.

• Cleaning and Disinfecting: Affected areas are cleaned and sanitized to prevent microbial growth. For category 2 (grey water) and category 3 (black water) contamination, specialized remediation protocols are strictly followed by our experienced professionals.
• Mold Prevention: Because we thoroughly dry all structural materials, we actively prevent mold. If mold is already present, our certified expertise guides the removal and treatment process (see our blog on mold under flooring for details).

Phase 4: Full Restoration

Water damage restoration concludes with returning your property to its original—or better—condition.

• Repairs and Reconstruction: This can range from repairing drywall and paint to installing new insulation, cabinets, and, of course, new flooring. As The Best Flooring Store in Central Texas, we offer seamless integration of the restoration and reconstruction process. Our selection of superior quality materials and precise installation is backed by our award-winning service.
