Water Damage
Cleanup and Repair
Water intrusion into buildings can be incredibly destructive. Over time, excess moisture can cause issues within an indoor environment. Without proper water extraction, decontamination and drying, numerous long-term effects can take hold of a building and cause long-lasting structural damage as well as pose numerous health risks.
Any type of water ingress should be taken seriously, and proper water damage restoration is a key part of recovery should your home or business be affected. This intervention should be prompt and effective, and it’s important to act within the first 24-48 hours to minimize the potential short and long-term effects of water damage.

Whether it’s a burst pipe, flood damage, or any other number of potential causes, water damage needs speedy and effective water damage mitigation. Water mitigation is about much more than just drying and cleaning a property. There are many other factors to consider, like decontamination and treating porous materials (e.g. carpet or drywall) that can hold water. If left damp or untreated, bacteria can potentially thrive and cause future problems.
Restoration Point Construction has been restoring water damaged property for over 20 years, and we know the importance of a quick response and the successful implementation of a water restoration plan. Our water damage restoration process will evaluate three criteria to determine the best course of action:
- Amount of property damage
- Degree of contamination
- Replacement costs vs restoration costs
The time it takes to fully complete water restoration can vary based on several different factors. You can find out more about these in our Water Extraction and Drying and Flood Damage pages.
Water Damage Restoration and Repair
Water damage restoration must be carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible following any sort of water ingress. Put simply, water mitigation is lessening the impact of a disaster by reducing the potential damage caused by water after a leak or a flood.
The need for swift action comes down to the fact that standing water potentially becomes more contaminated the longer it’s left untreated. As water sits in place, the risk of microbial growth and damage to contents increases. As a result, water mitigation plays an important part of any water damage restoration plan.
Before experienced water restoration crews from Restoration Point Construction arrive and begin the water damage restoration process, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk of further damage.
Flood Water Cleanup
Water cleanup can refer to any kind of clean up after water enters, but it is particularly important following flooding and flood damage. Once flood waters have receded, you should enlist the help of a professional disaster recovery specialist such as Restoration Point Construction. Floods present many dangers that are not as common following an internal household leak or flood. For instance, flood waters can be highly contaminated and increase the risk of structural and electrical damage to property.
For every hour that goes by where there is a delay to cleanup services, the problem worsens and begins to rapidly deteriorate. However, no matter how severe a flood may seem, professional water cleanup can achieve amazing results that contribute to saving personal property, business assets and much more.
