Restoration services have to do with repairing and restoring all of the problems that occurred as a result of the leak in your bathroom pipes. For instance, if your carpets got wet and its backing separated from its fibers or delaminated, then it would have to be removed and disposed of and then replaced at the end of the process.

What all takes place during the restoration and mitigation process?

Initial Inspection- The first step to the mitigation phase is to thoroughly inspect your entire property to figure out where the moisture went. We also take temperature and relative humidity readings to see if the environment is conducive to rapid drying.

Develop a Plan- Once we get moisture level reading, we then figure out what we can do to remove moisture from your structural components. If humidity levels are high, then we can set up more dehumidifiers. If the temperature is too low for drying, then we can turn the heat up in your building.

Dry Out The Structure and Restore Damaged Items- The main goal of the mitigation procedure is to remove moisture as quickly as possible so that no more issues arise. Once moisture levels are back to normal, we can then take steps to restore your home like re-install your carpets.
