Water Damage Inspection and Assessment are the first and most critical Home Inspection steps to property damage recovery when faced with an emergency. We come in when plumbers, waterproofers, and other water damage restoration companies fail to detect water leaks, foundation damage or hazardous materials within the infrastructure. Our techniques have been designed meticulously to identify even the most elusive water leaks, and we guarantee to discover and neutralize the threat every time. Here are the steps we take to ensure successful water damage inspection and remediation:
We specialize in non-invasive techniques to identify all types of leaks. Our highly skilled assessment specialists are the best in the industry for detecting and stopping water damage. We guarantee to find the root cause of any leak or plumbing ruptures. Once identified, we promptly provide an onsite quote to address the issue and prevent further water damage.
After the leak has been neutralized, we assess the water type to determine the health and property damage risks associated based on the water contamination classification type. Here are the 3 categories of water you will potentially face:
POTABLE WATER
Clean water that comes from water lines, filtered water sources and it is generally deemed safe to consume.
GREY WATER
“Grey Water” is water that is contaminated with bio-pollutants and if consumed or handled, can lead to mild health symptoms and irritations.
BLACK WATER
“Black Water” consists of heavily contaminated water, generally referring to raw sewage. This content poses severe health risks if consumed or handled.
Assess & evaluate the property and all affected areas based on the category and classification of the leak, ensuring all risks, hazards, and damages are thoroughly reviewed and identified. We neutralize any health or safety risks to ensure the well-being of everyone on the premises.
The final assessment step is preparing a thorough remediation action plan where we provide detailed recommendations for water damage repair and recovery, including all steps necessary to process, handle and remediate the emergency. This includes insurance processing steps, preparation of all required documents to expedite any potential red tape you may encounter in claims processing, and a fully detailed job scope and estimate that ensures a cost and timeframe for recovery.

When faced with uncertainty regarding the source of water leakage, the usual course of action involves engaging four separate companies. Initially, a plumber is called upon, but occasionally, the issue lies beyond plumbing, necessitating the involvement of a waterproofing specialist. Upon investigation by the waterproofing team, hidden mold may be uncovered behind drywall, prompting the need for a hazmat team. Addressing flooding requires water extraction, leading to the involvement of a flood emergency service. Subsequently, the removal of affected belongings requires the assistance of a moving company. Finally, once emergency remediation is completed, reconstruction is needed, requiring the expertise of a construction company.
