What is Water Damage Restoration?

Water damage restoration is a detailed process. At PuroClean, we aim to restore your property to its pre-loss state after water damage. The process starts with a rigorous property inspection to assess the damage. Then, swift water extraction removes any standing water.

Next, dehumidification with advanced equipment ensures the property is completely dry, preventing mold growth and further damage. Sanitation plays a key role in eliminating bacteria and contaminants. Structural reconstruction may sometimes be required to fully restore your property. Trust the expertise of a water damage restoration specialist to make your home safe and livable again.

Importance of Water Damage Restoration

Prompt water damage restoration is critical to prevent further damage–and protect the health and safety of your family. Untreated water damage can lead to mold growth, potentially causing severe health risks, like respiratory issues and allergic reactions. 

Extended water exposure can also weaken structural materials, increasing the risk of building collapse. Additionally, it can create electrical and fire hazards, making immediate action essential. Professional water damage restoration services help mitigate these dangers and restore your property to a safe, livable condition.

What Should I Do Immediately After Water Damage?

Water damage can be caused by something that seems small, like a leaky faucet and burst pipes, or by something major, like a natural disaster. Whatever the cause, large or small, PuroClean responds quickly and removes standing water and moisture from your Matawan-area property. Your fast action can make a huge difference in the restoration process.

1. Be Alert. Safety First

Wet floors can cause slips and falls. Be sure to maintain your balance while walking. Watch for obstacles and exposed wiring to avoid electrocution.

2. Shut Off Your Water

If there is a pipe break in the toilet or sink supply line, find the shut-off valve to the water supply line. If you can’t turn off the water for the source of the leak, turn off the water for the entire house at the main water line. The main water shut-off is usually in your basement, along the wall facing the street. If you don’t have a basement, check near your water heater or under your kitchen sink.

3. Call PuroClean for Help

PuroClean of Matawan is ready to help 24/7!  If you still need to call a plumber, we will be happy to recommend some of our trusted local plumbing partners. Additionally, call your insurance company to determine if your situation is a covered loss and to file a claim. Let us handle the rest.

How to Quickly Minimize Water Damage

You can take small steps to reduce the damage to your property in a water emergency. After calling us, if you can complete these DIY water damage restoration tips, things will run even more smoothly upon our arrival.

Water Extraction and Standing Water

If the affected area is small and uncarpeted, you can use a shop vac for water removal — just remember to remove the filter. You can also mop up as much water as possible. Running a fan near the wet area will help with evaporation, and if you have a dehumidifier, make sure it is operating. If you don’t have a dehumidifier and it is nice outside, open windows for cross ventilation.

Wood Furniture on Carpeting

Place small plastic squares or aluminum foil under the feet if you have wooden furniture on a wet carpet. The finish can stain the carpet if the legs remain in the water.

Cardboard Storage Boxes

If you have contents in cardboard boxes that got wet, remove the contents and dispose of the wet boxes. Separate items to dry near a fan or outside, weather permitting. Wash and dry clothing in the boxes immediately.

Wet Photographs

Save your precious memories. If you do not have time to separate and dry your photographs immediately, put them in a plastic bag and store them in the freezer until you do. Freezing them stops the water damage from progressing.

Protect Your Valuables

Move any valuables (paintings, other art, antiques, jewelry, etc.) to a safe, dry place.

Common Questions About Water Damage:

“What Is the Water Damage Restoration Process?”

A water mitigation company, like PuroClean, will begin the restoration process by assessing and documenting the damage. They will take pictures and collect psychometric readings (moisture readings of the air). They will also check for structural damage.

Next, using moisture meters, they identify the source of the water and evaluate the scope of the loss (how far the water has migrated).

Extracting the standing water is next. Then, the company tears out unsalvageable materials (like carpets) and removes and documents items we can dry. Finally, they dry the structure by placing and running specialized equipment like air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers.

“Can My Carpet or Flooring Be Saved?”

The answer is sometimes. It depends on factors like the extent of the flood water, the type of water issue, and the type of flooring you have. If you have a sewage loss, we recommend removing the affected areas or, at the very least, applying an antimicrobial agent to get rid of any unwanted bacteria from the sewage. If you have carpets that do not have a pad, we can extract the contaminated water with our weighted extractor and dry the carpet.

If you have padding, it depends on whether the carpet pad has a moisture barrier. If there is a barrier, the padding has to be removed. If we do not remove the barrier padding, PuroClean can’t dry the area, leading to mold spores. In certain situations, the carpet cannot be saved. 

We can save wood floors if they do not have a moisture barrier, are not laminate, and have been dried immediately. 

Time is of the essence when dealing with water damage restoration and preventing further damage, like mold, from forming. PuroClean has quick and professional mold removal and remediation services for you. We also have a process to eliminate the odors associated with water damage and mold.

The PuroClean of Matawan team serves you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even on Super Bowl Sunday and Christmas. We will respond to your call for help in water damage restoration services anytime.

Our team of restoration specialists will address water damage issues and create effective restoration plans, using their expertise to identify the causes of water damage and restore affected properties to their pre-damage condition.

“Does PuroClean Work with My Insurer?”

PuroClean of Matawan works with all insurance companies, doing our best to minimize the cost and hassle. We handle all paperwork, including detailed estimates from Xactimate or Symbility, which are third-party services used by insurance and restoration companies during a loss. We also provide moisture readings, inventory lists, pictures, and any information pertinent to the claim.

“Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Flooding or Water Damage Restoration?”

Homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental damage (such as water heater ruptures or burst pipes). However, some flooding and flood waters related to storms with rising water from rivers, streams, or area-wide flooding in which water enters over a building’s threshold may NOT be covered by standard homeowners policies.

Also, sump pumps may require additional coverage. Consult with your insurance broker or carrier to determine your coverage and coverage needs for water damage restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services

You can check the walls and ceilings for water stains, the floors for warping and buckling, and the pipes for corrosion, leaks, missing grout, and mold. Attics and basements may have damaged flooring, mildew or mold, dampness, and odors. Also, be sure to inspect the exterior of the home for cracked roof tiles, puddles, standing water, and whether the ground is sloping away from the house.

First, if safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. Don’t enter your home if it has suffered structural damage. Don’t walk through floodwater if electricity hasn’t been turned off, and avoid contaminants. Next, contact a water-damage restoration company, such as PuroClean of Matawan, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mold and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet. Then, depending on the extent of the damage and the recommendation of the remediation company, contact your insurance provider to start the claim process.

There are many variables that determine whether a flooded property can be saved: the amount of water, and even more important, the amount of time the water was in/around the property. Every situation is different, and PuroClean of Matawan expert restoration professionals can determine what can be salved once one site.

Property water damage can pose several dangers including structural instability, electrical hazards, mold and mildew growth leading to health issues, contamination from sewage or chemicals, and potential collapse of weakened structures.

Water flooding can cause extensive damage including structural damage to walls, floors, and foundations, damage to personal belongings, electrical hazards, and potential health risks from mold and bacteria growth. The longer water sits, the more severe the damage becomes.
