Water Damage Restoration

What is Water Damage Restoration?

Water Damage Restoration is a term that refers to the process that happens after a water leak has been found in your home. Usually, the water leak was created suddenly, and the homeowner has the chance to stop the water immediately. But sometimes, the water leak was small, and has gone undetected for several months or even years. This is when there is a question that involves a more thorough look of where the water has had a chance to move. It is important to find the source of the water first, but afterwards it is important to find where the water has gone. It is easy to just mop up the water and get on with your daily life, but it’s most prudent to have a professional to come out and look at what actually happened when the water began to leak and where it began to settle.
