Water damage cleanup can be a complex and challenging task. It is important to address the damage quickly and efficiently to prevent further damage to your home or business. Our experienced professionals can assess the damage and develop a customized cleanup and restoration plan.
Assessing and Dealing with Specific Damage
The first step in water damage cleanup is to assess the extent of the damage. This involves:
- Identifying the source of the water damage
- Determining the type of water damage (clean, grey, or black)
- Assessing the damage to your home or business, including structural damage, drywall damage, and damage to personal belongings
Once the damage has been assessed, our professionals will develop a customized cleanup and restoration plan. This plan may include:
- Extracting water from your home or business
- Drying out the affected areas
- Removing and replacing damaged drywall
- Cleaning and disinfecting your home or business
Do I need to replace wet drywall?
One of the most common questions we are asked is whether or not wet drywall needs to be replaced. The answer to this question depends on:
- The extent of the water damage
- The type of water damage
- The location of the damage
In general, drywall that has been exposed to clean water for less than 24 hours can be dried out and saved. However, drywall that has been exposed to grey or black water, or drywall that has been wet for more than 24 hours, will likely need to be replaced.
If you are unsure whether or not your drywall needs to be replaced, it is always best to consult with a professional water damage cleanup company.
