Water/Flood Mitigation

Helping families put their homes and lives back together.

Water mitigation requires removing and extracting unwanted water as quickly as possible.

Thomasville Restoration is certified and qualified to help you save time and money by ensuring proper safety and restoration standards.

Water damage is a stressful experience for any property owner. Not only does the water cause damage to walls, flooring, and upholstery, but it can quickly turn into a much larger disaster if not remediated right away.

Standing water can result in mold growth, which causes further structural damage. If you are suffering water damage due to a broken pipe, flooding, or for any other reason, call Thomasville Restoration immediately for professional assistance. Our outstanding service provides peace of mind by quickly getting you back to your daily life activities.

Moisture Mapping for Emergency Water Damage Repair

A certified professional from Thomasville Restoration will walk through the loss area with you and determine the affected areas by visual inspection using both non-penetrating and penetrating moisture meters.

Thomasville Restoration Drying Plan

Our certified professionals will begin implementing a drying plan for the affected area. Each drying plan is uniquely designed to return an affected area to its pre-loss moisture condition.

Our drying plan may include the following:

Extraction

Evaluating the age of the home to determine the need for asbestos testing

Removal of wet pad and carpet

Removing all damaged contents

Creating wall or ceiling cavities

Removal of wet insulation

Treating the affected area with an antimicrobial agent

Strategically placing dehumidifiers and air movers

Commonly, porous wet contents are removed and taken to our warehouse for further drying or inventoried as a non-salvageable item. We remove content from a wet property because porous items are highly prone to microbial growth and will not dry effectively within an affected area.

Thomasville Restoration does not offer a one size fits all water damage approach. Every instance of water damage is unique. Once an evaluation is complete, we will recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your specific situation.

5 Common Reasons for Water Damage

Leaking Pipes

Frozen Pipes

Appliance Failures

Storm Damage

Aftermath of Fire Damage

Leaking Pipes

At times, small leaks can be hard to detect until you can see clear water damage signs. It is common for leaks to happen behind drywall or in crawl spaces. We have witnessed pipes in kitchens and bathrooms to the basement or garage cause water damages. Remember that you need to quickly call water mitigation professionals because undetected water leaks pose a risk for mold growth.

Frozen Pipes

Freezing temperatures can cause the pipes on your property to crack and split. Massive amounts of water damage can occur in a short time when temperatures plummet below freezing.

Appliance Failures

Dishwashers, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, and sump pumps are potential causes of a property becoming saturated with water.

Storm Damage

Water damage from a storm is categorized as category three water damage because it can contain hazardous materials such as various bacteria, E.Coli, microbes, and debris. In our experience, water damage from a storm is the result of heavy rains and flash flooding. During a storm, neighboring rivers, streams can rise and overflow onto your property.

Aftermath of Fire Damage

To put out a fire, firefighters may use many gallons of water, in which case, a property owner will not only be left with fire damage but water damage as well.

Accurate Drying, Monitoring, and Reporting

Generally, drying equipment will be left on-site for a minimum of three days and a maximum of five days. Upon returning, we will perform a moisture test and inspect the affected areas to ensure that the drying process is complete and the equipment has performed its function.
