Regardless of the source, all cases of water damage should be treated immediately to prevent mold growth and further damage from occurring.

Water tends to get into every nook and cranny and stay there for a long time. Because of this, water damage is considered one of the most common and severe types of property damage. Regardless of the source, all cases of water damage should be treated immediately to prevent mold growth and further damage from occurring. But before engaging in maintenance and restoration operations, several issues must be addressed. 

Suppose water continues to enter your home or building, or you fail to get rid of excessive moisture. In that case, you can expect serious problems down the road. Here is what you can do to ensure peace of mind after a water catastrophe in a home or commercial building. 

What are the Differences Between Commercial and Residential Restoration? 

Commercial restoration is a specialized service provided by an experienced team to repair damaged buildings and business enterprises. Similarly, a residential restoration service removes water from homes and restores them to a livable, pre-damaged condition. Residential and commercial drying and restoration aim to mitigate the issues water damage causes. 

General Step-By-Step Drying and Restoration Process

Here are the steps to take after a flood or severe water event in a home or commercial property: 

1. After a major disaster, call your insurance agent or other representatives. 
2. Walk the restoration company representatives through your home. They will assess the level of damage.
3. Get a professional drying and restoration company to evaluate the work necessary to restore your property to its former condition. Our SERVPRO of Dallas Love technicians will be happy to give you a free estimate for our services. 

Restoration of Commercial Buildings

Here are the steps that water damage restoration experts take to dry out a property after a flood. 

1. Water extraction and removal using specialized equipment to remove excess water or debris from your building. 
2. Drying and dehumidification using professional industrial blowers and dryers are vital to remove hidden moisture. This equipment allows for adequate moisture removal from air, drywall, or floors. Once the equipment is set up, our technicians monitor it regularly and document the drying process until completion. 
3. Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces are crucial, especially if the water is contaminated. This step will also help to restore air quality at the property. 

Restoration of Residential Buildings

Home drying and restoration after a water event is similar to that of commercial buildings. Here are the steps we take:

1. Structural and sub-floor drying by using powerful vacuum equipment to remove excess moisture trapped in the ceiling, floor, and walls.
2. Installation of drying equipment like carpet dryers, air movers, and humidifiers. 
3. Sanitization of sewage lines to remove any serious health risks for you and your family. 
4. Removal of non-salvageable building materials with porous surfaces like drywall, cabinets, furniture, and vinyl floors. Even in a clean environment, some materials cannot be recovered for various reasons. Therefore, it is appropriate to stop drying for a while to assess the material's recyclability. 
5. Reconstruction by a team of experienced contractors will restore flooring and damaged surfaces. The result is that your home will be in its pre-damaged state through timely, cost-effective, high-quality recovery services.
