Water is an essential element of life, yet when it infiltrates homes or businesses in unintended ways, it can lead to significant damage and disruptions. As a leading expert in the field, New England Water Remediation is committed to not only mitigating water damage but also increasing community awareness about water damage restoration and why professional assistance can be essential.
Water damage refers to various destructive processes resulting from water intrusion, such as rotting wood, mold growth, bacteria proliferation, rusting of steel, and the delamination of materials like plywood. In New England, where seasonal changes are pronounced and weather conditions can change on a whim, properties are particularly susceptible to water damage. Burst pipes, flooding, or even heavy snowfall leading to ice dams and frozen pipes, which can all serve as catalysts for water infiltration.
The Need for Water Damage Restoration
When left unaddressed, water damage can escalate, compromising structural integrity and posing health risks due to mold and bacteria growth. This is where water damage restoration comes into play. The process is a comprehensive approach to mitigate, prevent, and repair the devastation caused by water intrusion. New England Water Remediation stands at the forefront of this field, offering extensive services that cater to both residential and commercial needs to ensure that properties are restored safely and promptly.
The Water Damage Restoration Process
- Assessment and Inspection
The journey of water damage restoration begins with a detailed assessment. At New England Water Remediation, our highly trained professionals conduct thorough inspections to gauge the extent of the damage and identify potential risks. This involves the use of state-of-the-art tools and technology, such as moisture detectors and thermal imaging cameras, to locate water deep within walls and floors.
- Water Removal and Water Extraction
Once the extent of the water damage has been determined, the next critical step is water removal. Working quickie is essential since stagnant water can lead to extensive damage and increase the chances of mold growth. Our team uses industrial-grade wet vacuums and submersible pumps to perform an efficient water extraction process, seamlessly removing hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water with precision.
- Drying and Dehumidification
After the removal and extraction process, the affected areas require thorough drying and dehumidification to remove any remaining moisture. We use high-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers to accelerate the drying process. This important step helps us prevent further structural damage and inhibit the growth of mold.
- Cleaning and Sanitizing
Water damage often leaves behind sediments, bacteria, and other contaminants. Our expert technicians perform extensive cleaning and sanitizing to ensure your property is safe. We employ antimicrobial treatments and air scrubbers, ensuring that spaces are not only clean but also hygienic.
- Mold Removal
In cases where water damage has led to mold growth, immediate action is needed. Mold not only damages the aesthetics and structure of your property but poses significant health risks, including allergies and respiratory issues. Our mold removal process involves isolating the affected areas to prevent cross-contamination and using specialized cleaning products and equipment to eliminate mold. Our certified mold removal experts guarantee a thorough job, safeguarding the health of occupants and the integrity of the building.
- Restoration and Repair
Finally, we enter the restoration phase, where damaged materials and structures are repaired or replaced, bringing the property back to its pre-loss condition. Restoration can range from minor repairs such as replacing drywall or installing new carpet, to major rebuilding efforts.

New England’s distinct seasonal variations present specific challenges in water damage restoration. Winters can be harsh, with heavy snowfalls resulting in ice dams that obstruct proper water drainage from roofs, leading to leaks and water damage.
