Differences Between Water Mitigation and Water Damage Restoration

What Is Water Damage Mitigation? Benefits & Process

What Is Water Mitigation?

Water mitigation is the process of addressing, containing, and preventing further loss from water damage. The goal is to extract as much water as possible before attempting to restore the property to its pre-loss condition. It would be nearly impossible to restore a property without mitigating water damage first.

What Is Water Damage Restoration?

Water damage restoration is the process of restoring a property to its pre-loss condition, and typically follows water mitigation efforts. This may involve taking out drywall, carpeting, and other materials that were significantly damaged.

The Water Damage Mitigation Process

1. Stop the Water Flow

The first step to mitigating water damage is to cut off the water source. To prevent additional damage in your home, the team at our water mitigation company will stop the water by shutting off a faucet, deactivating an appliance, or adjusting the main water valve on your property. Of course, if the water source is weather-related, it will likely have stopped by the time our team arrives. Regardless of the water source, our team will work diligently to stop the flow of water.

2. Determine Mitigation Requirements

Flood waters are classified into three categories by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). By determining the category, our team can better prepare your property for mitigation and keep all occupants safe.

Category 1

Refers to “clean water” which is typically from a faucet, broken water line, or overflowed tub.

Category 2

Is classified as “gray water” which may contain harmful chemicals or debris.

Category 3

Is “black water” which contains raw sewage or river water.

3. Extract Water & Dry Out

With the water flow cut off and the mitigation requirements determined, our team will start the water mitigation process and will extract excess water in your home or business. We will help ensure any standing water on the property or within the property is gone before beginning the restoration process.

Dry Force was referred to me by Wave Plumping. I had a slab leak in my house that required me to make an urgent decision on which route to repair my water leak. My decision was based on how much restorative work will need to be done to my house after the plumbing repair. Dry Force was able to come out within 1.5 hours from when I made a phone call for a same day consult. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Dry Force was able to work with my schedule to make it convenient for my time and also my renter's. They kept me in the loop with everything. They communicate very well and is very attentive to my concerns/needs and as well as my renter's. I highly recommend Dry Force for your restorative needs. I am starting the process of replacing things around the house that were damaged for the water leak.

Very thorough, very professional. Dylan did a great job and explained the process and answered all of my numerous questions. Cleaned up after deconstructing my wet flooring and took extra precautions to highlight and minimize trip hazards when I told him I had a young baby boy just learning to walk in the house. The gentleman who picked up my equipment was also very helpful and professional and took care to not wake up my sleeping baby which I greatly appreciated, unfortunately I didn't catch his name. The company called and gave me updates on the progress of drying time. Overall a great company to work with during a stressful time.

What Does a Water Mitigation Company Do?

The main duties of a water mitigation company are to assess the category of the water, contain the water damage from spreading to other parts of the property, and extract the standing water. Once the property is water-free, our restoration team will help dry out the property before restoring it to its pre-loss condition.
