What Is Water Remediation?
Water remediation sounds complicated, but it is the process of cleaning up, drying out, sanitizing, and restoring (or rebuilding) materials and surfaces after any kind of water damage has occurred. While water damage remediation can be considered the same as flood cleanup, it also encompasses a broader category of repairs, including damage from leaks.
It is important that water remediation be done quickly to avoid further issues. Water damage can lead to issues like mold, bacteria, and wood rot.
Water damage can occur from several sources, which can change the way the remediation is handled. All water must be removed and cleaned, but clean water from a pipe is dealt with differently than water from an appliance like a washing machine. And water from a backed up sewer requires another method.
Reconstruction and restoration can only begin after the source has been assessed, and water has been removed. Once you know what water type you are dealing with and which areas it affects, the restoration process can start to return the area to its former condition.
