Understanding Water Mitigation
Water mitigation is the critical first step in the restoration process when your property experiences water damage. It refers to the immediate actions taken to reduce and prevent further damage after a water intrusion — whether caused by a burst pipe, flooding, roof leak, or appliance failure.
The goal of water mitigation is not just to remove water, but to preserve the integrity of your home or business, prevent mold growth, and minimize costly repairs. Unlike full restoration, which focuses on repairing and rebuilding, mitigation is all about stopping the damage at its source and preparing the property for complete restoration.
Common Water Damage Scenarios
- Leaking pipes or appliances
- Storm flooding
- Roof and basement leaks
- Overflowing sinks/toilets
- Burst water heaters
