Our Water Damage Restoration Process

Call Now (800) 764-5219

Water damage restoration in Louisiana runs in five stages. Each stage starts only after the one before it is complete.

  1. 1 Turn off power and check for hazards

    Turn off the main power from a dry location if it is safe. If you must enter standing water, call an electrician before power returns.

  2. 2 Remove what cannot be saved

    Porous materials that absorbed flood water are removed. Solid materials such as plastic, metal, glass, solid wood and masonry can be cleaned.

  3. 3 Clean first, then disinfect

    Cleanable surfaces are cleaned with detergent, then disinfected, because floodwater can carry sewage and other biohazards (LSU AgCenter).

  4. 4 Dry quickly and thoroughly

    The home and everything in it are dried within 24 to 48 hours where possible (EPA).

  5. 5 Remove visible mold and fix the water source

    Visible mold is removed and the water problem is fixed before any paint or caulk goes on.

What to Do After Water Enters Your Home

  1. Turn off the power if it is safe

    Turn off the power if you can do so from a dry area, and stay out of standing water near outlets (LSU AgCenter).

  2. Remove wet carpets within 24 hours

    Wet carpets, carpet pads and rugs should be removed within 24 hours (LSU AgCenter).

  3. Photograph the damage

    Take photographs before anything is moved or cleaned (LSU AgCenter).

  4. Stay out of unsafe rooms

    Do not enter a building that might have structural damage. Check for structural damage and infestations first (LSU AgCenter).

  5. Dry the home and everything in it

    Dry the home and everything in it completely (EPA).
