Water mitigation refers to the immediate actions taken to prevent water damage from getting worse: extracting water, drying affected materials, and containing the area to stop moisture from spreading to unaffected parts of the home.
Mitigation vs. restoration
Mitigation happens first and focuses on stopping the damage. Restoration happens after and focuses on repairing what was damaged. Most situations need both, in that order.
Why mitigation is time-sensitive
The longer materials stay wet, the more likely mold growth and structural issues become. Mitigation performed quickly can significantly reduce the total scope of repair work needed.
What a mitigation visit typically includes
Assessment of the affected area, water extraction, placement of drying equipment, and containment measures to protect unaffected areas of the home.
