A water loss moves through stages, and each stage has its own service. Knowing which one you need helps you describe the problem on the phone and understand the estimate you receive.
Start with the situation you are in. If water is standing in the building, you need extraction. If it has stopped but everything is wet, you need drying. Once the structure is dry, you need repair. Mold sits at the end of that chain, because it only grows where moisture lingers.
Which service answers which question
| Service | The question it answers | Typical starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency water removal | How do I get standing water out right now? | Burst pipes, failed appliances, overflows |
| Water mitigation | How do I stop the damage from spreading in the first days? | Wet walls, floors and ceilings after the source is stopped |
| Water damage cleanup | How do I remove ruined materials and sanitize? | Contaminated water, soaked carpet and debris |
| Flood damage restoration | How do I recover from storm runoff or sewage? | Storm water, groundwater and Category 3 water |
| Water damage repair | How do I rebuild once everything is dry? | Drywall, insulation, flooring and paint |
| Mold remediation | How do I deal with mold that moisture left behind? | Visible or suspected mold after a leak |
Mold remediation is a secondary service and usually follows a moisture problem.
