Inspecting for Common Types of Water Damage

Once the water stops flowing, the restoration company can do a thorough inspection and look for any common signs of water damage. Most damage seen in a flooded home is around the source of the leak. Very rarely will that flood damage spread to other areas of the home. For a pipe that breaks inside the wall, they may need to remove the drywall to check out the space between the walls. They may need to check inside the floors too.

Pumping Out Water

When a pipe break leads to a flooded home, mitigation and restoration experts must use extraction methods to remove the standing water in a business or home. The most common extraction method is the use of a flood pump. These are the same pumps used in homes after hurricane season. Depending on the amount of flood damage and the amount of water in the home, they may use multiple pumps rather than a single pump.
