The flood restoration process
consists of two major phases:
FLOOD DAMAGE RESTORATION
FLOOD DAMAGE RESTORATION
Flood damage restoration may be needed for a flood emergency that can happen at any time. A flooded basement can be caused by oversaturated ground around your home, an overflowing river or stream, a broken sump pump, storm sewer backup, a burst pipe, faulty appliance or plumbing fixture and even seepage through the foundation floor or walls.
If flood water inside your home is not addressed promptly, your walls, as well as your carpet, flooring, ceiling and personal property can quickly become damaged, creating an unsafe environment ripe for breeding bacteria, rot and mold growth.
OUR WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION PROCESS
The water restoration professionals at Roto-Rooter are experienced in getting your home or business back in working order as quickly as possible. No matter what time of day, your call is sure to be answered by a live Roto-Rooter customer service representative who will quickly send a specialist to access the water damage and determine the best course of action.
For safety reasons, they also identify the type of water they’re dealing with before beginning the cleanup process.
Our IICRC certified technicians will perform water extraction, remove unsalvageable contents and structures, clean the affected areas, apply disinfecting agents, deodorize and dry the structure. The damage to your property and contents will be thoroughly documented with photos of the loss before we start working, during the process and after our work is completed. The professionals at Roto-Rooter are also trained to prepare sketches and create drying logs for your insurance company, so that your claim can be processed quickly and accurately.
The actual cleaning and drying time of your home and contents will be determined by the scope of the water damage. The water restoration process may be completed in as quickly as just two days or may take up to a week. Our water damage drying equipment and air sanitizers are left onsite at your home or business to complete the water clean up process. Our advanced equipment is removed only when the temperature, humidity and moisture testing confirms that affected areas have been dried to approved standards.
