Here are answers to common questions we receive about the water damage restoration process:
How Do I Know if I Need Water Damage Restoration Services?
Signs that you may need water damage restoration include water pooling on floors, stains on the ceiling or walls, and damp or musty smells. Other indicators include swollen or warped floors and mold growth.
What Are the First Steps in Water Damage Restoration?
The first step in water damage restoration is identifying the source of water intrusion, which can include a faulty appliance, damaged roofing, or burst pipe. Once the source is fixed, the restoration service begins with water extraction and drying. At Onpoint Property Restoration, we first assess the damage, remove standing water, and dry the affected areas to prevent mold and mildew growth.
How Long Does the Water Damage Restoration Process Take?
The timeline for water damage restoration can vary depending on the extent of the damage. In general, water extraction can take a few hours, while drying and dehumidification may take anywhere from 2 to 5 days. Afterward, any necessary repairs or replacements to structural elements or flooring may take additional time. Our goal is to restore your property as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Can Water Damage Be Addressed Without Replacing Everything?
In many cases, yes. While some parts of your property, like drywall or flooring, may need to be replaced, our water damage restoration services focus on repairing and salvaging as much of the property as possible. Our team will carefully assess each area to determine whether repairs are feasible or if replacements are necessary. We always aim to minimize the disruption to your home or business and restore as much of your property as we can.
Do I Need to File an Insurance Claim for Water Damage Restoration?
Filing an insurance claim is typically recommended if your property has sustained significant water damage. Onpoint Property Restoration will work closely with you to help facilitate the claims process.
