Understanding Water Damage

Understanding Water Damage - Professional restoration overview by Total Care Restoration

Water damage can strike from storms or burst pipes. It can force you out of your home and ruin your belongings. Our trained team uses modern tools to find and fix the damage.

Water damage is common and costly. The longer water sits, the worse it gets. Mold can grow in 24-48 hours. Our 24/7 team responds fast to limit damage and restore your property.

We start with a full inspection. We use thermal cameras and moisture meters to find hidden water. This helps us catch water behind walls and under floors.

We sort water damage into three types. Category 1 is clean water from pipes. Category 2 is gray water from appliances. Category 3 is black water from sewage or floods. Each type needs different safety steps.

Why Act Fast

Water damage gets worse fast. Mold can start growing in 24-48 hours. Drywall breaks down. Wood warps. Quick action saves money and prevents mold. Delays can double or triple costs. Most insurance requires fast action to keep your coverage.

Common Causes of Water Damage

  • Storm surges and hurricane flooding
  • Burst or broken pipes
  • Faulty showers and plumbing fixtures
  • Overflowing toilets, bathtubs, and sinks
  • Leaking roofs and windows
  • Foundation cracks and slab leaks
  • AC condensation line failures
  • Washing machine and appliance failures
  • Water heater failures and tank ruptures
  • Dishwasher supply line leaks
  • Refrigerator ice maker line failures

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our services in your area.

Professional water damage restoration is a comprehensive process that goes beyond simple cleanup. It includes water extraction using industrial pumps and vacuums, structural drying with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, moisture detection using specialized equipment, antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold growth, and complete restoration of damaged materials. Professional restoration ensures hidden moisture is addressed to prevent long-term structural damage and mold issues.
The timeline depends on the extent of damage and type of water involved. Minor water damage may be dried within 2-3 days, while extensive flooding can take 1-2 weeks for complete drying. The full restoration process, including repairs and reconstruction, typically takes 1-4 weeks. Our team provides a detailed timeline after the initial assessment and keeps you informed throughout the process.
Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or storm damage. However, coverage varies by policy and situation. Gradual damage from lack of maintenance, flooding from external sources, and sewage backups may require additional coverage. We work directly with insurance companies and can help you understand your coverage and document damage for claims.
First, ensure safety by turning off electricity to affected areas if safe to do so. Stop the water source if possible by shutting off the main water valve. Move valuable items and furniture away from standing water. Document the damage with photos and videos. Then call a professional restoration company immediately—the faster you act, the less damage will occur and the lower your restoration costs will be.
We use professional-grade equipment including truck-mounted and portable water extractors, commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, thermal imaging cameras for detecting hidden moisture, penetrating moisture meters, air scrubbers with HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial application systems. This industrial equipment is far more powerful than consumer-grade alternatives and is essential for thorough restoration.
Many water-damaged items can be saved with prompt professional attention. We assess each item individually and use appropriate restoration techniques including drying, cleaning, and deodorizing. Solid wood furniture often recovers well, while particleboard and laminate may need replacement. Personal documents, photos, and electronics require specialized handling. We provide honest assessments of what can be restored versus what should be replaced.
Professional drying within 24-48 hours is the most effective mold prevention. We use commercial dehumidifiers to reduce humidity below 60%, apply antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces, and use air scrubbers to capture airborne spores. Complete moisture removal verified with professional meters is essential—even small amounts of hidden moisture can lead to mold growth. Post-restoration, maintaining good ventilation and addressing any recurring moisture sources prevents future problems.
Water damage is classified into three categories. Category 1 is clean water from sources like supply lines or rainwater—relatively safe but can degrade if not addressed quickly. Category 2 is gray water containing some contamination from sources like washing machines or dishwashers—requires careful handling. Category 3 is black water containing sewage or external floodwater—highly contaminated and requires extensive safety protocols and often material removal.
