Water Mitigation
When water floods your home or business in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington DC, every minute counts. Our mitigation service not only removes the water; it stops the damage, protects your structure, and prevents mold from developing.
Contact usProblems that we can resolve
In our region, water damage usually comes from three main sources. If you identify any of these, professional intervention is needed immediately: Structural Flooding: Caused by heavy rains or storms that exceed drainage systems and end up in basements. Critical Plumbing Failures: Pipes burst from freezing in winter, leaks behind walls, or appliance overflows (washing machines, dishwashers). Sewer and Sump Pump Problems: Failures in sump pumps or sewer system backups that bring contaminated water into the property.
The cause and why did it happen?
Understanding the cause is the first step toward a permanent solution. We work by identifying: Climate Changes: The DMV is prone to sudden temperature shifts that strain the pipes. Aging Infrastructure: Especially common in historic and urban areas of DC and Maryland. Lack of External Maintenance: Clogged drains or incorrect soil slopes that direct water toward your foundation.
Our Steps to Remedy
Inspection and Evaluation
We use moisture sensors and thermal cameras to find hidden water where the human eye can't reach. We then find the water source and classify the type of water to apply the proper cleaning protocol.
Emergency Water Extraction
We use industrial grade pumps and high-power vacuums to quickly remove standing water, preventing it from seeping any further into the foundations or lower levels of home or building.
Structural Drying and Dehumidification
We place commercial air blowers and dehumidifiers. We don't just dry the floor; we extract moisture from the walls, carpets, and wood to prevent warping, mold, and etc.
Cleaning and Sanitization
Water can bring bacteria and pathogens. We thoroughly clean all affected surfaces and apply antimicrobial treatments to ensure that your air is safe to breathe.
Monitoring and Final Report
We won't leave until our instruments show normal humidity levels. We provide a full report with photos and readings for your insurance companies.
