PROFESSIONAL WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION PROCESS:
Roto-Rooter's seasoned water damage removal technicians utilize the latest technology to safely and efficiently restore water damaged areas of a building. You can expect the following steps in your water cleanup project:
- Step 1 - Water Extraction (0-4 hours): Truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps remove 95-99% of standing water using suction and compression equipment. Early extraction prevents water absorption into walls, subfloors, and insulation.
- Step 2 - Material Removal (4-8 hours): Unsalvageable materials including carpet padding, water-damaged drywall below water lines, insulation, personal property, flooring, paneling, shelving, and cabinets are removed and inventoried for insurance documentation.
- Step 3 - Cleaning & Disinfection (Day 1-2): EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions are applied to all affected surfaces to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold colonization. HEPA filtration removes airborne contaminants during cleaning.
- Step 4 - Structural Drying (Day 2-5): Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers operate continuously until moisture readings match pre-loss conditions. Technicians monitor temperature, humidity, and moisture content daily using psychrometers and penetrating moisture meters.
- Step 5 - Deodorization (Day 2-4): Hydroxyl generators or thermal fogging neutralize bacterial odors at the molecular level that cannot be eliminated through ventilation alone.
- Step 6 - Debris Removal: All unsalvageable materials are hauled away and disposed of following EPA guidelines for water-damaged and contaminated materials.
- Step 7 - Documentation & Insurance Coordination: Before, during, and after photos document damage progression. Drying logs, moisture readings, temperature data, and equipment diagrams support insurance claims and verify IICRC standard compliance.
- Step 8 - Insurance Submission: Roto-Rooter submits bills directly to insurance companies and coordinates with adjusters throughout the restoration process to expedite claims and eliminate upfront costs for covered damages.
