Water damage restoration is the process of repairing and restoring a property that has been damaged by water. This process may involve cleaning and disinfecting the affected area, drying out the property, and repairing or replacing damaged materials.
It is important to address water damage as soon as possible to minimize the extent of the damage and to prevent the growth of mold or other contaminants. A professional water damage restoration company can help ensure that the restoration process is completed properly and efficiently.
If a pipe breaks in your house, it is important to take immediate action to minimize the damage.
The Catastrophe You Wished Would Never Occur, The General Contractor You Desperately Needed
Step 1: Shut off the Water Supply
The first step is to locate the main water valve and turn it off to stop the flow of water.
Step 2: Drain the remaining water
If possible, drain any remaining water from the pipes to prevent further damage.
Step 3: Repair the pipe
If you are able to do so safely, try to repair the pipe. If you are not comfortable attempting the repair yourself, it is best to call a plumber.
Step 4: Clean up the water
Once the water supply has been shut off and the pipe has been repaired, you will need to clean up the water that has been released. This may involve using towels, mops, and other cleaning supplies to remove the water and dry the affected area.
Step 5: Assess the damage
After the water has been cleaned up, it is important to assess the extent of the damage and determine what repairs need to be made.
Step 6: Set a Budget with Insurance
Think of a final amount you can serenely spend on the remodel, says Better Homes and Gardens. It could be smart to look at Rebuilding Magazine's yearly Expense vs. Esteem Report to understand how much normal projects cost. Consider planning an additional 10 to 20 percent for unforeseen costs that might emerge, says Zillow. If you need to finance all or even a portion of the project, check out our financing partners.
Step 7: Hire a General Contractor
Research and select a General Contractor with whom you feel comfortable. Assuming you go into an agreement, ensure that the scope of work is clearly defined from the start, it can act as a valuable reference point for yourself as well as your General Contractor all through the remodel cycle.
Step 8: Secure Permits and Begin ordering Materials
Permits are normally expected in numerous districts, and can be important to avoid specific issues that could effect your renovation. Ensure your General Contractor checks your district's most recent regulations, since inspections guidelines change in various areas, says Houzz.
When you have the permits figured out, you may want to begin ordering any long lead time materials like wood, drywall, new windows and entryways, etc.
Step 9: Demolition
This is a great time to take out any anger that you may have, if you want to get involved in the beginning stages and then the General Contractor take it from there. In the event that interior walls are being moved, it might be a great chance to introduce any new windows and entryways.
Step 10: Work Done Behind the Walls
For the most part, this is the time for important work behind walls, underneath floors, or above ceilings — plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins, subfloor, and insulation, says Better Homes and Gardens. Then, fix, and hang drywall, tape, and sand for smooth surfaces.
Step 11: Painting and Flooring
A few General Contractors might desire to get done with flooring first, but at Birkes Builders we while prime and paint prior to laying out the floor (minimizing spills from getting on new flooring), says The Tidy.
Step 12: Cabinetry
Now that walls and floors are in, the room starts to look like its final state. Cabinets are commonly introduced at this point, with upper cupboards going in prior to lower ones, says The Family Handyman.
Step 13: Finishing Touches
Now is the ideal time to add those last details and finishes — final painting, tile backsplashes, floor sealing, lighting fixtures, some other final details.
When a redesign is finished, make certain to pause for a minute to enjoy in your new environment, and maybe begin longing for your next project.
