How Long Does Water Damage Restoration Take

Water damage restoration is a service that many homeowners and strata may need here and there, especially after incidents like leaky pipes, overflowing toilets, or flooded carports. The duration of this restoration process largely depends on the kind and extent of the water damage.

When considering the kind of water damage, let's take the example of a flooded basement. The time required for restoration can vary significantly based on the flooring type. For instance, a cement basement might dry faster and require less restoration time than a carpeted one. Carpets can retain moisture for extended periods, necessitating thorough drying and, in some cases, replacement to prevent mold growth and other related issues.

The type of water causing the damage also plays a crucial role in the restoration timeline. For example, if the damage is caused by clean water from a garden hose or clean pipes, the restoration process is relatively straightforward, primarily involving water extraction and drying.

Now, if the restoration process is more complex, like sewage water or other contaminated water sources, not only does the water need to be extracted and the area dried but there's also the added challenge of addressing potential health hazards. The presence of contaminants means additional steps are required to sanitize the area. Moreover, the lingering odor from sewage water must be treated to ensure the living space is safe and comfortable for inhabitants.
