What Is Water Mitigation?
Water mitigation is the process of:
- Stopping the source of water
- Removing standing water from the property
- Drying the structure and materials (walls, floors, ceilings, framing)
- Preventing mold and secondary damage
Mitigation is the first step after a water loss and must be done immediately to protect your property and support your insurance claim.
Our Water Mitigation Process
1. Rapid Response & Inspection
- We arrive quickly on-site
- Inspect the affected areas
- Identify the source of water
- Document visible damage with photos and moisture readings
You’ll know exactly what’s going on and what needs to happen next.
2. Stop the Source
We locate and help stop the source of water, which may include:
- Temporary roof tarping or emergency roof repair
- Shutting off main water supply
- Isolating plumbing leaks or AC line leaks
- Temporary board-up for damaged windows or doors
3. Water Extraction
We use professional extraction equipment to remove:
- Standing water from floors, carpets, and pads
- Water from crawlspaces or low spots
- Saturated areas that could spread damage
The faster we extract, the less damage you’ll have.
4. Structural Drying & Dehumidification
We set up:
- Air movers
- Dehumidifiers
- Specialized drying equipment
We then monitor moisture levels daily to ensure:
- Subfloors, framing, drywall, and cabinets are drying properly
- The environment is brought back to safe, normal moisture levels
- Conditions are not favorable for mold growth
5. Cleaning, Sanitizing & Odor Control
Depending on the source and category of water, we may:
- Clean and sanitize affected surfaces
- Apply antimicrobial treatments
- Address musty or dirty water odors
This is critical for health, safety, and future indoor air quality.
6. Documentation for Insurance
We know dealing with insurance is stressful. We:
- Document the damage with photos and moisture readings
- Provide clear reports and estimates
- Communicate directly with your insurance adjuster when requested
Our goal is to make the claim process smoother and help you get the coverage you deserve.
Types of Water Damage We Handle
- Clean Water – Broken supply lines, sink overflows, rain intrusion
- Gray Water – Dishwashers, washing machines, some drain backups
- Category 3 / Black Water – Sewage backups, floodwater from outside, heavily contaminated sources
Each type of water needs a specific mitigation protocol to keep your home safe. We follow industry standards and best practices.

Water Mitigation vs. Water Damage Restoration

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How fast do you need to start water mitigation?
A: Ideally within 24 hours or less. The longer water sits, the more damage and the higher the risk of mold.
Q: Will my insurance cover water mitigation?
A: Many policies do cover sudden and accidental water damage (burst pipes, appliance failures, storm intrusion, etc.). We can help document the loss and provide information to your adjuster.
Q: How long does the drying process take?
A: Most jobs take 3–5 days of drying, depending on the amount of water, materials affected, and conditions inside the home.
Q: Do I have to tear out all my drywall and flooring?
A: Not always. Our goal is to save as much as possible while keeping your home safe. We’ll recommend tear-out only when materials can’t be safely dried.
