Water damage restoration is more than removing the water you can see. Moisture travels under flooring, behind baseboards and up into drywall. If it is not dried properly, it can lead to warped floors, odours and conditions that encourage mould growth.
We help Kitchener property owners through the full process: finding out where the water came from, removing it, drying the structure, and cleaning the affected areas so repairs can move forward.
What restoration typically covers
- Extraction of standing water from floors and carpets
- Moisture mapping of walls, subfloors and cabinets
- Removal of materials that cannot be dried effectively
- Structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers
- Cleaning and odour control in affected areas
- Documentation of conditions for your records
How the process works
- 1
Identify the source
The water source should be stopped or repaired before drying begins.
- 2
Assess and document
Affected areas are measured and photographed to define the scope.
- 3
Extract
Standing and absorbed water is removed from surfaces and flooring.
- 4
Dry
Drying equipment is placed strategically and readings are taken until materials reach acceptable levels.
- 5
Clean and restore
Surfaces are cleaned and the scope of any remaining repairs is outlined.
Safety information
- Keep children and pets away from wet areas and drying equipment.
- Do not use household fans or heaters near standing water or wet electrical components.
- Wear gloves and footwear when handling wet materials.
Serving Kitchener properties
Many Kitchener homes have finished lower levels used as living space, rec rooms or rental units. Restoring these areas carefully helps protect both the structure and the people who live there.
