Best Water Damage Restoration Services in Rochester

Water damage restoration is a job for a trained and certified professional who has the equipment and training necessary to restore your home or business to order. Taking shortcuts in the aftermath of such an event has the potential to set the stage for years of problems in the future.

Any event that releases a significant quantity of water into your home deserves an inspection. Everything may look fine to an untrained eye, but it’s much more cost effective to pay to be sure than to discover months or years later that, unknown to you, a mold colony was formed or wood began to rot.

    Technology Driven Restoration Process

    Image

    We have certified professionals that employ advanced technologies to restore your property due to flood damage. The idea behind such technology is that it extracts moisture and makes way for fast drying of the affected areas. We use high-powered air movers as well as floor mats that are used to suction water out from the floorboards. Using up-to-date technology gives us the upper hand in the quick restoration of your home!

    There is variability in the drying time as it is contingent upon the factors such as source, location, type of water, duration of the water damage along the material used within the building's structure. 

    While we hope you never need us, our team is on-call 24/7 to respond to a water emergency. Let us help you navigate the process of cleaning up after a water loss.


     

    Rock Environmental’s Water Cleanup and Restoration Equipment

    Water Damage Cleanup Process


    Rock Environmental has a 24/7 emergency response for water damage and restoration. Often, requiring immediate action, we have crews ready and standing by ready for your call. Not all fire and water damage restoration companies can say that! Since water damage can happen for any reason, we have a top-of-the-line cleanup and restoration checklist that allows us to effectively restore your property to pre-loss condition.

    First things First - Call us! Crew standing by 24/7. Some of the questions you will be asked include when and how the water damage occurred, as well as the location. Once we have your contact information, we will coordinate a time to come to your property for an assessment.

    What happens next will occur in a series of processes starting with the assessment and inspection of your property. Once we determine the cause and source of the water damage, we begin working out a plan for extraction and restoration. Keeping in mind that there may be mold, mildew, or other volatile organic compounds in the area, we ensure a plan to keep you and our crew safe from exposure.

    • Shut off water source (if applicable)
    • Determine water type (clean water from pipes, dirty water from flooding, black water or sewage)
    • Basic mold and asbestos inspection
    • Removal of furniture and other items that can be salvaged or that hasn’t been damaged
    • Create a water extraction and restoration plan

    The next set of processes include the water extraction itself, and removal of damaged items in the space. Depending on the situation, various pieces of equipment may be used. This can include industrial truck-mounted vacuums, pumps, and water suction mats. 

    Once all standing water is gone, all debris will be removed. Items that have been damaged will be trashed as well. An inspection will be conducted to determine the extent of damage to the floors and walls.

    During this course of action, we will use our state-of-the-art drying equipment. This will include dehumidifiers, air filters, and multiple high-powered fans. The drying process may take a few days, however, we strive for the fastest way to ensure no further mold damage. Once dried out, we will check for moisture using hygrometers and moisture meters to see if more work needs to be done.

    Once everything has been determined as dry, we can pack up and begin the restoration process. We begin by cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing the area. We finish with the restoration of any walls or floors including the drywall and flooring. If we are able to restore any of your items, we will complete that process at our facility and return them.
