Winter and Frozen Pipes

Freeze and thaw cycles put pipes in uninsulated walls at risk of bursting in winter.

Expert Water Damage Restoration for Chatham Hills Homeowners

Water that came in through the roof during a storm in Chatham Hills usually soaks the attic insulation before it reaches the ceiling below. That insulation holds the water against the drywall long after the rain stops. A tarp over the opening stops new water, and the attic still needs drying. Chatham Hills Water Restoration covers the opening, removes the wet insulation and dries the attic and the ceiling under it.

Your moisture map is a sketch of each affected room in your Chatham Hills home, with every reading point marked and numbered. Chatham Hills Water Restoration updates it each day, so the sketch shows the wet area shrinking and flags any spot that stalls. When the last point reads dry, the sketch becomes one page that follows the whole job in the order it happened.

A technician comes back every day while the equipment runs in your Chatham Hills home. The same spots get read with the same meter, so the numbers can be compared from one day to the next. Equipment moves to the rooms that are drying slowest. Most clean water jobs finish drying in three to five days, and Chatham Hills Water Restoration explains the reason if yours runs longer.

Homeowners policies carry a deductible, which is the portion of a covered loss you pay before coverage applies. For a small leak, the cost to dry and repair could land near that amount, so it helps to know the scope before you decide whether to file. Chatham Hills Water Restoration writes the scope for your Chatham Hills home from the readings, and your agent can explain how the deductible applies.

If you walked in to find water in your Chatham Hills home after time away, stay out of standing water near outlets. Photograph what you can see from the doorway and phone Chatham Hills Water Restoration, and the crew will work out where the water started and how far it traveled before setting up the equipment.

Our Process

How Chatham Hills Water Restoration Handles Water Damage Restoration

We follow these steps in order on every Chatham Hills job.

1

The First Call

You describe where the water is coming from in your Chatham Hills home and which rooms it has reached. Chatham Hills Water Restoration talks you through shutting off the water and power safely, and tells you what to leave in place so the crew can photograph it.

2

Protecting Your Belongings

Furniture gets blocked up off wet floors or moved to a dry room, and floor covering goes down along the path the crew walks. Damaged items are photographed and listed before anything leaves the room.

3

Checking the Subfloor

With flooring and pad out of the way, the crew reads the subfloor and the framing in your Chatham Hills home with a meter. Wood that reads wet gets drying equipment, and a section comes out when the readings show it can't reach the dry number.

4

Opening Wall Cavities

Small holes near the baseboard, or a thin strip of drywall removed along the floor, give dry air a path into wet wall cavities. The crew reads the framing inside before deciding how much more of the wall has to open.

5

Final Readings

The crew takes final readings on every material that got wet and compares them with dry materials in the same house. Equipment comes out after those numbers are written down, and any containment comes down last.

Common Questions

Water Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions Chatham Hills homeowners ask us about water damage restoration.

A family member or a neighbor can meet the crew at your Chatham Hills home and show them the wet areas. Tell Chatham Hills Water Restoration who will be there and how to reach you by phone, and the crew will go over what it finds with you before any removal begins. Extraction and the first round of drying can go ahead with a helper on site, and the photos and readings come to you either way.
It usually does, because contaminated water adds steps to the job. The crew sets up containment, wears protective gear, removes porous materials that soaked up the water and disposes of them. Clean water from a supply line can often be dried in place with less removal. Category depends on the source and on how long the water sat, so Chatham Hills Water Restoration records both for your Chatham Hills home before writing the scope.
The water still has to come out and the house still has to dry, so the work can go ahead either way. Chatham Hills Water Restoration writes the same scope and keeps the same photos and readings for your Chatham Hills home whether or not a claim is involved. If your insurance company declines, ask for the reason in writing and keep the file, since the readings and photos can support a request for a second look.
The IICRC is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, a nonprofit organization that develops standards and certification programs for the cleaning and restoration industries. Its best known publications for water jobs are the S500 for water damage restoration and the S520 for mold remediation. Chatham Hills Water Restoration treats the S500 as the reference for how readings are taken and recorded on a water job in Chatham Hills.
Wet drywall, wood and subfloor hold water inside them, and it comes out slowly. The air movers pull water off the surfaces, and the dehumidifiers take it out of the air, so the materials can keep giving up more. Dense wood and plaster give it up slowest. Chatham Hills Water Restoration runs the equipment around the clock and checks the readings daily, and the equipment comes out when the numbers say the house is dry.
It depends on the source and on what the water crossed. Water from a supply line starts out clean, but water from a tub drain or a toilet overflow carries contamination, and any water that runs through insulation and dust picks up more. Ceilings that held water usually come down so the cavity can dry. Chatham Hills Water Restoration traces the source in your Chatham Hills home and sets the category before planning the work.
Mold coverage varies from policy to policy. Some limit it or exclude it, and others cover it only when it results from a covered water loss. Read the mold section of your policy or ask your agent, and tell the adjuster early if you see growth. Chatham Hills Water Restoration photographs any mold in your Chatham Hills home and lists the mold work apart from the water work, which keeps the paperwork clear.
Stay out from under it and keep people and pets away, because a ceiling holding water can give way without warning. Move furniture and rugs out of the area if you can do it safely, and set a container under any drip. The crew drains the ceiling through a small opening in a controlled way, then Chatham Hills Water Restoration removes the wet drywall and insulation in your Chatham Hills home and dries the space above.
A shop vac pulls up a little standing water, and household fans move air around the room. Neither one removes the water soaked into a subfloor, the bottom of a wall or the insulation behind it. Commercial dehumidifiers pull that water out of the air so the materials can keep drying, and moisture meters show when they're done. Chatham Hills Water Restoration brings that equipment to every job in Chatham Hills.
Many homeowners handle drywall and paint themselves once the structure is dry, and the final readings tell you when it's time to start. Plumbing and electrical work is a different matter, since it may need a qualified tradesperson and a permit, so check with your local building department. Ask Chatham Hills Water Restoration for the drying log and photos from your Chatham Hills home so you know which walls and floors were opened.
