When water damage strikes your home or business, swift action is crucial to minimize the potential for long-term structural issues and health hazards. Patriot's water mitigation services offer a rapid response solution, from initial water extraction and drying to thorough dehumidification and mold prevention, ensuring your property is restored to a safe and healthy environment as quickly as possible.

1. Inspection

The first and arguably most crucial step in water mitigation is a thorough inspection. Qualified professionals arrive on-site to assess the extent of the water damage, identifying both the source of the water intrusion and the affected areas. They utilize specialized equipment like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture behind walls, under flooring, and in ceilings. This comprehensive evaluation determines the scope of the mitigation project and the necessary actions to prevent further damage and potential mold growth. A detailed report, including photographic evidence, is often provided to document the findings.

2. free estimate

Based on the inspection, a detailed estimate is prepared outlining the costs associated with the water mitigation process. This estimate encompasses everything from water extraction and drying to necessary repairs and cleanup. 

3. Repair & clean up

Leak Detection and repair service steps are taken and then water extraction begins using powerful pumps and vacuums to remove standing water. Damaged materials like soaked carpets, drywall, and insulation are carefully removed and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Antimicrobial treatments are applied to prevent mold and bacteria growth on salvageable surfaces, ensuring a sanitized environment.

Following water extraction, the focus shifts to drying and cleaning. High-powered dehumidifiers and air movers are strategically placed to evaporate remaining moisture from affected areas. Technicians monitor the drying process closely, adjusting equipment as needed to achieve optimal humidity levels. All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to remove contaminants and prevent future mold growth. This stage is essential to ensuring a healthy and safe environment for occupants.

4. restoration

The final phase of water mitigation involves restoring the affected area to its pre-loss condition. This may include repairing or replacing damaged drywall, flooring, baseboards, and other structural elements. Painting, carpeting, and other cosmetic repairs are completed to match the original aesthetics. The restoration process ensures that the property is not only safe and dry but also aesthetically pleasing and comfortable for its occupants, effectively returning the space to its original state.
