Water Damage Restoration for your Home
Fast response time is key to successful water damage restoration
If your home requires water damage restoration due to a wet basement or flood, damaged plumbing or appliances, or excess water as a result of fire suppression, quick response time is the key to successful water damage restoration.
The effects of basement flood damage or other water damage can go quickly from bad to irreparable if not addressed immediately. Water damage and excess water in your home can cause electrical hazards, expensive damage to your home’s structure and furnishings, and lead to the growth of hazardous bacteria and mold.
Beginning water mitigation and removal procedures as soon as possible prevents water damage from spreading, lowers costs and means less stress for you. Waiting to begin water and flood restoration services can cause secondary damage to:
- Carpets and other furnishings
- The structure of your home
- Drywall and wood, as a result of the spread of mold
- Hardwood floors—requiring costly replacement

Do I need to move out of my home during the restoration process?
Depending on the extent of damage, your insurance representative can help you answer this question. Ultimately, however, this is a decision you must reach on your own. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process in your home. If vacating your premises during the process, consider forwarding your mail to your temporary residence; stopping your newspaper and other deliveries; notifying your utility company, cable company, etc., of the temporary suspension of services during the restoration process.
Who is responsible for monitoring the drying equipment?
ServiceMaster Restore’s water damage mitigation specialists will place and monitor specialized equipment to achieve optimal results in the shortest amount of time. Equipment should never be turned off or moved by anyone other than the damage mitigation technician.
