Water Mitigation Services

Have a water emergency? Don’t wait! Water damage is a time sensitive issue and addressing it quickly can save you from further damage.

What is Water Damage Mitigation?

Water damage mitigation involves removing the stagnant water and sealing up the water source before drying the place out completely for repairs. This mitigation allows the prevention of further water damage by stopping the water flow immediately. Therefore, the water doesn’t affect the rest of your house and belongings. The mitigation involves using technical equipment and professional methods to prevent the water flow and minimize the damage and loss.

How can OKC Restorations help with water emergencies?

Our trained technicians are experts in assessing, containing and preventing further water damage. During a water emergency, we remove the water from your property, complete the dry out process, clean the affected areas and sanitize.

During the assessment stage, we classify the water damage by the color of the water and where it came from. It can be from clean sources such as busted pipes or from contaminated sources such as dishwashers or sewage. Classifying the water helps us determine the specific restoration plan of action and the timeline.

Here’s how we do it–

Once the assessment is completed, our team begins the mitigation process by extracting any standing water, drying out the affected areas and using any special equipment such as dehumidifiers, if necessary.

Once this process is completed, we will proceed with the rest of the mitigation process which could be things like covering holes with tarps, replacing drywall or flooring, etc. depending on the severity of the situation.

 How do you know if you need water mitigation?

Some examples of when you should call a mitigation specialist include:

• Sewage backup
• Storm-damaged roofs
• Simultaneous fire and water damage
• Water-leaking appliance
• Flood water
• Bathroom water damage

What should you do before the professionals arrive?

During a water emergency, here are a few things you can do:

• Be sure that it is safe to be in the house. Be careful with standing water on the floor where surfaces may be slick. Make sure you do not have electrical items plugged into areas where it is wet.
• Take note of the locations where you have seen mold or suspect it is growing.
• Be careful when carrying wet items as they may be heavy.

How is water mitigation different from water restoration?

Water mitigation is the first step and the top priority because it involves stopping the spread of water damage. Water restoration is to rebuild the damage caused by water such as to drywall and flooring. During the water mitigation process, water is extracted from the affected areas and a moisture meter is used to identify damp areas that aren’t visible. It is also common to use dry out equipment such as dehumidifiers, air scrubbers and fans. During the restoration process, your property will be cleaned and disinfected, any affected materials will be disposed of and any required repairs or rebuilds will be done.
