Water Damage Is a Disruptive Circumstance. ​Act Fast

Water damage can have severe implications for your property and daily routine 

Therefore, County Action Restoration specializes in residential and commercial water damage no matter the causes. During and after hours, weekends and holidays:

• Plumbing issues
• Floods
• Sump pump failures
• Leaking roofs
• Leaking floors
• Toilet overflows
• Sewer backups

Often, water damage is not directly visible and may happen behind a wall, floor, or ceiling.

Therefore, it can remain unnoticed for a while until it appears. If not addressed thoroughly, moisture is the perfect ground for bacterial development and mold growth. Over time, the air quality becomes an issue and health problems start appearing.   

No matter the circumstances and the water damage class and category, it is essential to act fast to avoid greater consequential losses and higher restoration costs to your property. If not handled swiftly, water damage can also destroy your personal contents that may be irreplaceable in some cases. Ultimately, your life and daily routines are negatively impacted.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

ON-SITE TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT

• We evaluate the water damage class and category, safety risks, the cause, and the scope of work.
• ​This step helps us determine how to handle water damage with site-specific circumstance.

---

SITE SAFETY

• This step usually involves stopping the flow of water if directly accessible and turning off the power in the affected area. 
• To eliminate the exposure to hazards, we make sure that there is no danger for people in the home or commercial facility and our personnel. ​

PERSONAL CONTENT REMOVAL

• We remove all your belongings from the site affected by water damage. 
• This step is a triage of items completely destroyed, items that are salvageable, and items that were not affected.

WATER REMOVAL

• Special pumps and industrial-grade vacuums are used to remove water. 
• This step removes completely the excess of water from the affected area.

DRYING & DEHUMIDIFICATION

• Once the excess of water is completely removed, the drying and dehumidification steps can start. This is an essential step to eliminate moisture. 
• Moisture can be a ground for mold development. Therefore, we use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and dryers that we will leave for a few hours to days on-site.

CLEANING & DISINFECTION

• The site and belongings affected by the water damage need to be cleaned and disinfected. We avoid residual moisture that may help spread mold spores, fungi, and bacteria. 
• Depending on the water damage class and category severity, the cleaning and disinfection step may be more involved. Ultimately, these steps help to re-establish air quality.

RESTORATION & CONTAINMENT

• The restoration step involves replacing materials impacted by water damage. Typically, sections of drywalls, ceilings, and floors are removed and replaced. 
• As per EPA guidelines, all materials that haven’t been thoroughly cleaned within 48 hours following the water damage should be discarded.
• For houses constructed before the 1980s, we make sure that the appropriate containment is in place to avoid exposure to lead, asbestos, and other toxic substances. 
• During this step, we check for cracks in the structure, cracks in the foundation, damaged wires, cables, and electrical installation, wet insulation material, windows and doors functional behavior. For doors and windows, if they are harder to open or close, we try to determine if they are collateral damage. ​

END-TO-END DOCUMENTATION

• We work directly with your insurance. Thorough documentation is an important step to prepare for your insurance claim. 
• We take photographs and videos, create an inventory of items that were destroyed, and expense reports incurred during the restoration process.
• We operate from a cloud-based program that allows you access in real-time 24/7  
• You do not have to worry about the red tape involved, we have years of experience working with insurances.

WATER DAMAGE PROJECT DELIVERY

• Although we have continuous communications throughout the water damage project, once our work is finished, we involve the clients in the project delivery process.
  
• A walk-through is organized to address any questions or concerns.
  
• We also measure our clients’ satisfaction before we close the water damage project.
  

What to Expect in Case of Structural Damage

In case water damage impacts the structure of your home or business, the restoration step may be more involved.

 Indeed, fixing structural damage is more complicated to approach. 

Therefore, depending on the severity of the water damage, we will guide you and inform you throughout the process while making the right decision for your family and administrative steps with your insurance.

We have over 25 years of experience dealing directly with insurances. You can rest assured that we have your back.
