Our Proven 12-Step Water Damage Restoration Process
With 34 years of experience and IICRC certification, we follow a systematic, insurance-approved process that ensures complete restoration while maximizing your claim coverage in Columbia Heights.
Contact Your Insurance Provider
Your first call should be to your homeowners' insurance company to determine your coverage. Document the damage by taking photos and videos before and during cleanup to support your claim.
Major Insurance Carriers:
Ensure Safety First
DANGER: Never walk through standing water in a basement to shut off the power breaker. Water and electricity are a deadly combination. Call an electrician or your utility company first.
If water is near electrical outlets or your breaker box, do not enter the flooded area. Shut off power from outside the home if possible. In cases of severe flooding or structural damage, evacuate immediately and call emergency services.
Stop the Water Source
Find and stop the source of the leak, whether it's a burst pipe, appliance failure, or leaking roof. This critical step prevents further damage to your property.
Call Professional Restoration
Certified professionals have industrial pumps, air movers, and dehumidifiers to safely extract water and dry your property. We assist with the insurance process and ensure proper restoration.
Professional Photo Documentation
We take comprehensive photos and document all damage for your insurance carrier. This professional documentation is critical for your claim and ensures nothing is missed during the assessment process.
Examples of Professional Moisture Meter Documentation:
Wall/ceiling moisture reading: 29.5% - Documenting water intrusion at critical junction points
Environmental monitoring: 87.8°F / 16.6% humidity - Tracking drying conditions
Carpet moisture reading: 56.3% - Critical saturation requiring immediate extraction
Baseboard moisture reading: 86.35% - Severe water damage requiring structural assessment

Professional Documentation Benefits: Our certified technicians use calibrated moisture meters to document exact moisture levels throughout your property. This comprehensive photo documentation is submitted directly to your insurance carrier, ensuring accurate claim processing and preventing disputes about the extent of damage in Columbia Heights.
Remove Standing Water
We use industrial wet/dry vacuums, sump pumps, and extraction equipment to remove standing water as quickly as possible. Fast water removal increases the chance of salvaging belongings and preventing mold.

Monitor Moisture Levels
We document GPP (grains per pound) readings throughout the drying process. While the air may read dry, wet materials can still retain moisture. That's why we use moisture meters to verify materials are completely dry on each visit.
Clean and Sanitize
All affected surfaces are cleaned and sanitized with antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold and bacteria growth. This ensures your home is safe and healthy.
Submit Mitigation Claim
We prepare and submit the mitigation claim to your insurance carrier. This covers the emergency response, water extraction, drying, and sanitization work under the mitigation portion of your policy.
Prepare for Rebuild
After mitigation is complete, we prepare for the rebuild phase. This is covered under the rebuild portion of your insurance claim. Insurance companies prefer working with a mitigation contractor first, then a rebuild contractor after mitigation.
Act Fast: Mold Develops in 24-48 Hours
In Minnesota's humidity levels, mold can develop within 24 to 48 hours after water damage occurs. Immediate action is crucial to minimize damage and health risks.
