Flooding and Water Damage Restoration in Grand Rapids, MN

ATTENTION SQUAW LAKE RESIDENTS: ICE DAM ALERT

With winter almost here, its time to think about ice dam prevention.

When heat escapes through your roof, it melts the snow on top of it. As the snow melts, the water runs down your roof and then when it starts to get colder, the water refreezes and starts to build up until it dams the water, pushing it back up the roof and forcing it to go under the shingles and causing water damage inside your home.

To help stop an ice dam forming on your roof, make sure your attic area is properly insulated. Try to keep the entire roof at the same temperature as the eaves. You may need to increase ventilation or add insulation and seal off any air leaks.

Our Restoration Process

Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

1.  Emergency Contact

When you call us, our consultant will guide you through several questions that will help us respond to your water emergency more quickly and efficiently. This initial contact is an important part of a fast, effective restoration.

2. Inspection and Damage Assessment

We carefully inspect your property’s water damage, determining the type of water damage and the areas affected. This is a crucial step to creating an effective plan of action that will result in a successful restoration.

3. Water Removal / Water Extraction

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. We start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.

4. Drying and Dehumidification

We use specialized equipment to remove the remaining water which is harder to access. Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home or business.

5. Cleaning and Sanitizing

Water damage also affects your belongings, like furniture, clothing, and personal items. We can clean restorable items using a number of specialized cleaning techniques. We also disinfect with antimicrobial treatments and remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

6. Restoration

The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.
