Restoration Process

Restoration Process Explained in Jacksonville, Gainesville, Ocala & Lake City, FL

Although professional water damage restoration is readily available, many property owners still choose to handle water disasters by themselves. Regardless of the reason, sticking to this option can lead to severe consequences.

Water damage that is not treated or removed properly can reactivate during the next plumbing problem, becoming more expensive to repair. Unresolved water damage puts you at a higher risk of encountering the following issues:

  • Wood rot
  • Mold and mildew
  • Poor home health
  • Water contamination
  • Severe property damage

Because of these risks, hiring professionals is necessary and worthwhile.

Water damage restoration might not be the cheapest solution, but there are practical reasons for each step. Unlike your typical cleaning techniques, this service uses a thorough restoration process designed to restore your property to its pre-loss condition effectively.

What You Can Expect

In a typical restoration job, technicians complete the following tasks:

Determine the Type of Water Damage You Encountered

The aftermath of every water disaster is unique,  so the experts will inspect the state of your property to determine the severity of the water damage. There are four classes of water damage, and each one is approached differently.

  • Class 1: This type creates the least amount of damage. Only a little moisture has been absorbed by the room.
  • Class 2: The catastrophe has affected the whole area. Your walls and flooring are also heavily drenched.
  • Class 3: This is the worst type of damage. Water has been absorbed up to the wall and has saturated the surroundings. It’s also possible that the damage has seeped through the ceiling.
  • Class 4: Special drying techniques and equipment are needed to prevent affected surfaces from succumbing to potential water damage. This approach is often used on materials like stone, hardwood, and concrete.

Water Extraction and Removal

After the class of the catastrophe is determined, the technicians will use powerful vacuums and pumps to remove the water from your property. Extracting the water will allow the affected area to dry quicker and make the restoration process easier

Drying

To ensure that your entire property is completely dry, the professionals will use air movers, dehumidifiers, and other unique drying methods to remove moisture even in hard-to-reach areas. They will focus on the following areas that tend to absorb or store a lot of water:

  • Narrow passageways
  • Tight corners
  • Upholstery and furniture
  • Cleanup and Decontamination

Once everything is dry, the experts can proceed to the cleanup. They will remove irreparable items from the building and send salvageable valuables to their contents restoration facility. They will also sanitize and decontaminate the surroundings to stop waterborne contaminants from thriving in your property.

Jason did an excellent job on both the carpet and tile. He had a problem with the belt breaking and came back on Saturday to finish the job. This is my 3rd time using Dreyer’s. 😊

Linda

We had a major plumbing issue which caused significant mold and water damage. Dreyers came out to us the morning after we called to evaluate what needed to be done. The professionals that came in were wonderful. They did the bulk of the heavy lifting in clearing out kitchen cupboards that needed to be removed. And when they came to retrieve the drying machines, they were so kind and polite. W...

Lisa&Jim

We have used Dreyer's for years but "fell off the wagon" after the last of three pet cats passed. It was time! I spoke with Emily in the office and was able to secure an appointment for October 30th to take advantage of the advertised discount. Jason Sumner arrived not only on time but early; he had called to ask if that was all right to do so. After introductions, he got right to work...measuring...

Great experience with this company from scheduling to cleaning day. The guy was professional and very thorough. The rugs and carpet looked great. We have 3 dogs and he was able to get all the stains out. Would recommend and will be using again in the future.

Karen

Allen was very professional; came exactly on time; explained the process; got right to work; moved a few pieces of furniture; and best of all - he made our 15+ year old Milliken carpet look almost brand new! As an added bonus, he said the carpet would be dry in 4-5 hours. After many years of having carpet cleaned by other companies that took 2-3 days to dry, I didn't believe him. But, true to his ...

I’ve used Dryers for years and they are always quick to respond and they always do an outstanding job. I have pink and white cushions on my white wicker furniture that can get very dirty. They get out the dirt and stains and my cushions look brand new. Amazing really! Thanks once again for doing such a great job.

I’m so glad I called Dreyer’s to take care of deep cleaning the tile floor in my guest room. A Dogsitter snuck a cat into my home while I was out of town, leaving the tile and grout completely saturated in cat urine. Jason came out right away and was knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He used a special treatment to break down the enzyme in cat urine, then gave it a good cleaning. He also cleane...
