Damaged Materials

Removal and disposal of damaged materials is an integral part of water and fire damage restoration. This can include demolition of affected structural materials such as tile. Hardwoods, drywall, wood containing materials (baseboards, trim, and cabinetry) or carpet and pad that are wet due to a water damage from a clean water source are usually dried in place using specialty equipment. Although partial demolition is necessary on most water damages, our technicians work diligently to ensure that all materials that can be restored to a pre-loss condition are salvaged. In cases where materials come into contact with contaminated water only the affected portion will be cut away and disposed of, reducing the costs incurred and the amount of materials to be replaced.
