Expert Water Damage Restoration for Fairmount Homeowners

A wet spot on the carpet in your Fairmount home is rarely the whole story. Water moves under the pad, along the tack strip and into the bottom of the drywall before anyone sees it. Fairmount Water Restoration dispatches a crew within 2 hours with moisture meters and a thermal camera. Those readings map the wet area, and the drying plan gets built from that map.

Where the water came from changes the job. Water from a clean supply line can usually be dried in place. Water from a dishwasher, a washing machine or a toilet carries more dirt and germs, and sewage or floodwater calls for containment and removal of soaked materials. Fairmount Water Restoration identifies the source in your Fairmount home first, records it with photos and builds the plan around it.

Plastic sheeting walls off the work area when the water is contaminated or when only part of your Fairmount home is wet. A negative air machine with a HEPA filter pulls air out of that area, so dust and odor stay inside it while the rest of the house stays usable. Fairmount Water Restoration keeps the containment up until the final readings are taken and the area is clean.

You're the one who decides whether to file a claim, and you're the one who talks with your insurance company about it. Fairmount Water Restoration documents the damage in your Fairmount home with a photo report and walks you through it first, so you know what you're describing. If you'd like to pay for the work yourself, the same report keeps a record of what was done.

Take a few photos of the water and the spot it came from, then phone Fairmount Water Restoration about your Fairmount home. Those pictures start your record, and the crew adds its own photos and readings on the first visit, so the file is complete from the first day of the job.

Our Process

How Fairmount Water Restoration Handles Water Damage Restoration

We follow these steps in order on every Fairmount job.

1

Moisture Mapping

The crew checks every affected room with a thermal camera and moisture meters, then reads rooms the water never reached to set a dry target. The source gets identified, and every wet area is photographed before any equipment goes in.

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

Removing What Won't Dry

Materials that the readings show won't dry, such as saturated drywall and swollen trim, get cut out along measured lines and bagged. You see a photo and hear the reason for each removal before the cut is made.

4

Repairs After Drying

Once the readings show the house is dry, Fairmount Water Restoration handles the drywall, flooring, trim and paint. You approve the repair scope in writing first, and the work follows what the photo report recorded.

5

Final Walkthrough

The crew walks every repaired room with you, takes one last set of readings and hands over the photo report, the daily logs and the scope. Anything that needs another look goes on a list before the crew leaves.

Common Questions

Water Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions Fairmount homeowners ask us about water damage restoration.

A family member or a neighbor can meet the crew at your Fairmount home and show them the wet areas. Tell Fairmount 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.
The size of the wet area matters more than the size of the house. A large home with one soaked room has a scope sized to that room and the spaces around it, and a small home with water in every room needs more equipment and more days of drying. Fairmount Water Restoration measures the wet area in your Fairmount home and builds the scope from those numbers, so you can see what each line covers.
It can, and your policy says how. Some policies treat a pipe that burst differently from a leak that dripped for months, so check yours or ask your agent. Fairmount Water Restoration photographs what the crew finds in your Fairmount home, like fresh water, old stains or rot, and records the readings. You decide with your insurance company what that record means for your situation.
Under the S500, class describes how much of the structure is wet. Class 2 means a large amount of water that has reached a whole room, wetting the carpet and pad and wicking up the walls. Class 3 means the most water, often coming from above and saturating the ceiling and walls. Class 1 is a small area, and Class 4 covers dense materials like hardwood and plaster. Fairmount Water Restoration sets the class from moisture readings in your Fairmount home.
Most rooms with clean water dry in three to five days of equipment time. Water from an appliance or a toilet, and water that soaked into hardwood, plaster or a subfloor, often takes longer. Sewage or floodwater adds cleanup before the drying starts. Fairmount Water Restoration reads the materials in your Fairmount home every day, so the end date comes from the numbers.
Gray water is Category 2, which means water with some contamination. Typical sources include dishwasher discharge, washing machine overflow, sump pump failure and toilet bowl overflow. Gray water can worsen to Category 3 if it sits, and porous materials like carpet pad usually come out while hard surfaces get cleaned. Fairmount Water Restoration identifies the category for your Fairmount home at the start and writes it into the scope.
Usually not. CDC doesn't recommend routine mold testing, because the fix is the same either way, which is to dry the area and remove what's growing. EPA says a homeowner can usually clean a moldy area smaller than about 10 square feet. Fairmount Water Restoration reads the moisture in your Fairmount home and shows you any visible growth, so you can decide how to handle it.
If water is near outlets or appliances, shutting off power to that area helps, as long as you can reach the panel from a dry spot without stepping in water. If the panel itself is wet or water covers the floor around it, stay out and call an electrician along with Fairmount Water Restoration. Before anyone enters your Fairmount home, the crew checks the circuits.
The crew makes small openings near the baseboard or removes a thin strip of drywall along the floor, then pushes dry air through the stud bay with air movers and hoses made for that purpose. Meters read the framing and the back of the drywall each day to confirm the cavity is drying. When the water was contaminated, or the readings stall, the wall has to open further. Fairmount Water Restoration explains which case applies in your Fairmount home.
That depends on what had to come out. Common repairs include replacing sections of drywall and insulation, patching and painting, reinstalling baseboards and laying new pad and carpet or flooring where it was removed. If the source wasn't repaired yet, the plumber's work comes first. Fairmount Water Restoration gives you a list of what came out of your Fairmount home with photos, so whoever handles the repairs starts from the same facts.
