The Water Damage Restoration Process

1. Inspection & Damage Assessment

Water Damage Restoration

We identify the source of water intrusion and evaluate the extent of damage to floors, walls, contents, and structural materials.

2. Water Extraction
Standing water is removed using professional extraction equipment to reduce saturation and prevent further damage.

3. Removal of Affected Materials
Damaged materials such as carpeting, padding, drywall, insulation, baseboards, furniture, and contents are removed, restored, or discarded as needed.

4. Drying & Dehumidification

Air movers and industrial dehumidifiers are strategically placed to remove trapped moisture from affected areas. This step is critical to preventing mold growth.

5. Cleaning, Disinfection & Odor Control
Affected areas are cleaned and disinfected to help eliminate bacteria, contaminants, and odors caused by water damage.

6. Monitoring & Completion
Moisture levels are monitored throughout the process. Once drying is complete, equipment is removed and salvageable items are returned to their original locations whenever possible.


Carpet Restoration

Carpet restoration focuses on returning water-damaged carpeting to its pre-loss condition when salvageable. The first step is identifying the source and category of water to determine whether restoration is appropriate.

If the carpet can be saved, remaining moisture is extracted, and high-powered air movers are used to dry fibers thoroughly and help prevent mold growth. Throughout the drying process, technicians monitor moisture levels and provide updates as needed. Once drying is complete, equipment is removed and contents are placed back into position.


Carpet Cleaning, Deodorization & Spot Removal

Water-damaged carpets are susceptible to mildew and odor issues that can spread throughout a property. Proper cleaning, deodorization, and spot treatment help remove odors and restore indoor comfort.

The process includes a full inspection, deep cleaning, deodorization, and targeted spot or pet odor treatment when necessary. Optional fiber or textile protection treatments are also available to help extend the life and appearance of carpeting.

Our restoration process follows industry standards established by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

Water Damage Do’s and Don’ts

Repairing water damage is important, but safety must always come first. Whether you are dealing with water damage caused by a storm, flooding, faulty plumbing, or a leaking roof or A/C system, following these guidelines can help reduce risks and prevent additional damage before professional restoration begins.


✅ What to Do After Water Damage

1. Shut Off the Water Source
If possible, turn off your home’s water supply and contact a licensed plumber to stop the source of the leak.

2. Use Caution When Entering Affected Areas
Wet floors can be slippery and unstable. Watch for trip hazards, weakened flooring, and any exposed electrical wiring.

3. Remove Excess Water
Mop up as much standing water as possible. In cooler weather, open windows to improve airflow. In warmer weather, if safe, turn on your air conditioning to help reduce humidity.

4. Protect Upholstered Furniture
Remove loose cushions and prop upholstered furniture up to allow air circulation and reduce moisture absorption.

5. Clear Rugs and Floor Obstacles
Remove area rugs and pick up items resting on the floor to prevent staining, mold growth, and further damage.

6. Dry Storage Containers
Open wet suitcases, boxes, and storage containers. If weather allows, place them in sunlight to dry.

7. Safeguard Valuables
Move artwork, documents, electronics, and other valuables to a dry, secure location.

8. Dry Clothing Immediately
Wash or dry wet garments as soon as possible. Hang leather and fur items to air-dry at room temperature.

9. Protect Furniture Legs
Place aluminum foil or plastic under furniture legs on wet carpeting. Open cabinet doors and drawers slightly to promote drying, but do not force them open.

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding or water damage? Do you work with insurance companies to minimize the cost and hassle?

Homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental damage (such as water heater ruptures or pipe bursts). However, flood damage, regardless of the source of the water, is NOT covered by standard homeowners policies. In addition, homeowners insurance does not cover water damage caused by a lack of maintenance.

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 New Bedford, as soon as possible. Don’t wait, as water can cause mold and irremediable damage to the wood, walls, and carpet.
