Fast Water Damage Response is Important in San Diego, CA
Time is critical when a water damage event occurs. If water is left unattended, it can cause irreversible property damage. You only have a limited time to prevent further damage, and acting quickly is crucial. If you don’t address the issue promptly, here are some common damages that may occur:
-
Warping of walls, ceilings, and floors
-
Uneven flooring and buckling tiles
-
Mold and fungi growth
-
Mildew and musty smells
-
Rusting metals
-
Paint discoloration
-
Damage to furniture and appliances
-
Contamination by biohazards from sewage backup
Even a small leak of water can quickly become a much bigger problem if not addressed properly. When dealing with water damage, the best approach is to take immediate action. Limiting the damage to a smaller area can prevent the need for more extensive repairs down the road and reduce the overall impact on your property.
Our Comprehensive Water Damage Restoration Process
Step 1: Inspection and Assessment
The restoration process begins with a thorough inspection of your property. Our team will assess the extent of water damage, checking both visible and hidden areas for moisture. Using state-of-the-art moisture meters and infrared cameras, we identify the full scope of the damage. Afterward, we provide a detailed estimate, so you know exactly what to expect during the restoration process. This assessment is key to determining the most effective course of action for your property.
Step 2: Water Removal
Once the assessment is complete, our team will begin the water removal process. We use industrial-grade pumps and vacuums to remove standing water and excess moisture quickly and efficiently. The faster we act, the less damage your property will incur, and the more we can reduce the risk of mold growth. Our equipment is designed to handle water removal even from hard-to-reach areas.
Step 3: Drying and Dehumidifying
After the majority of water has been removed, we begin the drying process. High-powered air movers and industrial dehumidifiers are used to eliminate any remaining moisture from the affected areas. We pay special attention to areas that are prone to hidden moisture, such as walls, flooring, and cabinetry, ensuring all humidity levels are reduced. This step prevents structural damage and the growth of mold and mildew.
Step 4: Cleaning and Sanitizing
Once the drying process is completed, the next step is cleaning and sanitizing. We use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to disinfect and sanitize all affected surfaces. Our team focuses on eliminating contaminants and odors that may have developed due to the water damage. We ensure that all areas are safe for your return and free from bacteria and mold spores. Finally, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure the space is clean, dry, and safe to inhabit.

Water Restoration FAQs
Your Trusted Restoration Experts
A flood is defined as an overflow of water onto normally dry land, affecting at least two acres or two properties. Damage caused by sewer backups as a result of flooding is typically covered. However, if the sewer backup is not directly caused by a flood, the damage would not be covered under flood insurance.
If your wood floors are damaged by water, they will need to be closely monitored during the drying process by skilled professionals. At White Glove Restoration, we use specialized drying systems and dehumidifiers to ensure the wood floors dry properly, aiming to restore them to their original shape. Depending on the type of wood and finish, complete drying may take up to three weeks. During the insurance claims process, the adjuster will assess whether refinishing is possible or if replacement is necessary.
Drying time varies based on several factors, including the source and duration of the water, materials in your home, weather conditions, and how quickly restoration services are initiated. Our trained technicians continuously monitor and evaluate the drying process to ensure accurate results. Even if your carpet feels dry to the touch, it might still contain moisture beneath the surface.
Usually, no. Most insurance policies expect you to take immediate action to prevent further damage.
