The Water Damage Restoration Process: What to Expect

Whether your water damage was caused by a pipe burst, leaking appliance or heavy rain time is of the essence. Acting quickly is essential to prevent additional damage and very costly repairs. At First In Restoration, we follow a proven water damage restoration process to restore your home or business efficiently. Here’s what you can expect when you call us for help.


Step 1: Emergency Response & Assessment

When water damage occurs, time is critical. First In Restoration is available after hours and 24/7 to respond to your emergency. Upon arrival, we:

  • Assess your damage

  • Identify the source of the water issue

  • Develop a restoration plan specific to your need (we don't come in like a bull in a china shop)

  • Ensure safety by checking for electrical hazards or structural issues


Step 2: Water Extraction

The first step in mitigation is removing standing water as quickly as possible. We use high-powered commercial pumps and industrial-grade HEPA vacuums to extract water from the damaged areas, helping to prevent mold growth and more damage.


Step 3: Drying & Dehumidification

Once standing water is removed, the drying process begins. Our team use commercial-grade air movers and industrial dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from walls and floors. We also monitor humidity levels to ensure complete drying and prevent mold from forming in your damaged space.


Step 4: Cleaning & Sanitization

Water damage can introduce bacteria, mold, and other harmful contaminants into your home. We provide thorough cleaning, sanitization, and deodorization using antimicrobial treatments to restore a safe and healthy environment for your space.


Step 5: Structural Repairs & Reconstruction

Once mitigation is complete, we move on to the reconstruction phase. Water damage can weaken walls, flooring as well as ceilings. Our reconstruction services include:

  • Drywall repair and painting

  • Flooring replacement

  • Cabinet and trim restoration or replacement

  • Full structural rebuilding if needed
