Beyond Cleanup: The Comprehensive Scope of Our Water Damage Restoration Services

Water damage is one of the most common and destructive problems a property owner can face. In Northwest Arkansas, we know a heavy storm, a broken pipe, or an overflowing appliance can turn your world upside down in an instant.

Water damage isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a significant threat that can cause a domino effect of problems. Water damage is one of the most common and destructive problems a property owner can face below is a list of the 4 most impactful highlights:

  • Commonality: Water damage can happen in countless ways. It can be a sudden event like a burst pipe, a leaking roof during a storm, or an overflowing appliance. It can also be a slow, insidious problem, such as a hidden leak behind a wall. This ubiquity makes it a constant risk for anyone who owns a building.
  • Destructive Potential:Water is incredibly powerful and persistent. It can saturate and ruin materials like drywall, flooring, and insulation. The damage isn’t limited to what you can see; it can compromise a building’s structural integrity over time.
  • The Aftermath: The problems don’t stop once the water is gone. Damp environments are the perfect breeding ground for mold, which can start growing within 24-48 hours and pose serious health risks. Water damage can also lead to foul odors, rust, and the degradation of a building’s interior and exterior finishes.
  • Financial Impact: The costs associated with water damage can be staggering. Restoration, repair, and potential mold remediation can quickly add up, not to mention the loss of personal belongings and the disruption to a home or business.

Water damage is a frequent occurrence with far-reaching consequences that can threaten both a property’s value and the well-being of its occupants.

Our comprehensive services are designed to address every aspect of water damage, ensuring your property is not only dry but also safe, healthy, and fully restored. Here’s a closer look at the full scope of our process:

1. Emergency Water Extraction & Damage Assessment

The first 24 hours are critical. Our

IICRC certified technicians are available 24/7 and arrive on the scene quickly to perform an initial damage assessment. We use advanced equipment to locate the source of the water and stop it to prevent further damage.

Then, using powerful pumps and vacuums, we rapidly extract standing water from your property. This immediate action is vital to minimizing structural damage and preventing

mold growth.

2. Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Just because a surface looks dry doesn’t mean it is. Water can seep into floors, walls, and sub-flooring, causing hidden damage and creating a perfect environment for mold and mildew.

Our team uses the best equipment to extract water, from industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry out the entire structure, including hard-to-reach areas nothing gets overlooked.

We monitor moisture levels daily with professional-grade moisture meters to ensure everything is completely dry before moving to the next phase of the water damage process.

3. Mold Remediation & Prevention

One of the most serious long-term consequences of water damage is mold. Mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours after water damage occurs and can pose significant health risks. Our team is trained to identify and safely remove mold infestations.

Preventing mold growth after water damage is all about acting quickly and thoroughly. Did You Know? Mold spores are always present in the air, but they only start to grow and multiply when they find a source of moisture and a food source can be wood, drywall, or fabric. The key to mold control is moisture control.

The best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to act quickly.

The sooner you begin the cleanup and drying process, the better your chances are of preventing a mold problem.

We follow strict containment protocols to prevent the spread of spores and use specialized techniques to clean and sanitize affected areas. We also take preventative measures to ensure mold does not return, giving you peace of mind.

4. Sanitization & Odor Removal

Water damage often leaves behind unpleasant odors and a risk of bacterial growth, especially if the water was from a contaminated source.
