Water Damage Repair and Restoration

Every minute counts when your home is invaded by water.  The Mold Genius offers thorough water damage repair and restoration services to promptly and efficiently return your property to its pre-loss state, whether you’re dealing with a busted pipe, storm-related flooding, or the aftermath of putting out a fire.

Quick Reaction when You Need it Most

We don’t wait, and neither does water damage.  Our emergency response crew is on call around-the-clock to handle your water damage emergency.  Our certified professionals will arrive on the scene with industrial-grade equipment to start the water extraction process within hours of your contact.  The quicker we act, the less damage will happen, saving you money, time, and valuable possessions.

Our Water Damage Repair Process

1. Thorough Assessment and Documentation

Our first step is always a comprehensive assessment of the damage. Our certified technicians will:

  • Identify the water source and stop it if possible
  • Determine the water category (clean, gray, or black)
  • Document all affected areas with photos and moisture readings
  • Create a detailed restoration plan tailored to your situation
  • Provide clear documentation for insurance purposes

2. Water Extraction and Removal

Using powerful pumps and industrial vacuums, we remove standing water quickly to prevent further damage. Our state-of-the-art extraction equipment can remove hundreds of gallons of water efficiently, giving us a head start against mold growth and structural damage.

3. Expert Dehumidification and Drying

The actual process starts after the obvious water has been removed. Hidden moisture can cause mold to grow and weaken the structure of your house. We use: • Strong air movers placed in strategic locations to produce ideal airflow

Commercial-grade dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air; specialized subfloor and hardwood floor drying systems; and moisture meters to monitor drying progress and guarantee full drying

4. Sanitization and Cleaning

Contaminants are frequently introduced into your property by water damage, particularly from floods or sewage backups. Our staff uses hospital-grade antimicrobial treatments, our proprietary Pure Cloud Technology to get rid of bacteria and odors, and HEPA filtration to improve the quality of the air while the restoration is underway to completely clean and disinfect all impacted areas.

5. Restoration and Repairs

Finally, we restore your property to its pre-loss condition:

  • Replacing damaged drywall, insulation, and flooring
  • Reconstructing damaged structural elements
  • Seamlessly matching existing finishes and textures
  • Ensuring all repairs meet or exceed building codes
