Water Mitigation

Water mitigation after a fire involves removing water used to extinguish the flames and preventing further damage. Here’s a short explanation:

1. Water Extraction: Pumps and vacuums remove standing water left by firefighting efforts.

2. Drying and Dehumidification: Industrial fans and dehumidifiers dry out walls, floors, and air to prevent mold and structural damage.

3. Remove Damaged Materials: Wet carpets, drywall, and insulation are removed if they can’t be salvaged.

4. Sanitize and Disinfect: Affected areas are cleaned to prevent bacteria and mold growth.

5. Monitor Moisture Levels: Moisture meters are used to ensure the structure is completely dry before repairs begin.

This process protects the home from mold, rot, and further structural issues.
