Water Damage Inspection and Assessment are the first and most critical 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 utilize non-invasive methods and are professionals at identifying all types of leaks. Our highly skilled assessment specialists are the industry’s best when it comes to locating and stopping water damage leaks. We always find the root cause of any leak. Once located, we quickly provide an onsite quote to neutralize the leak and ensure no further water damage can occur.
After the leak has been neutralized, we assess and test 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:
Clean potable water that comes from water lines, filtered water sources and it is generally deemed safe to consume.
“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” consists of heavily contaminated water, generally referring to raw sewage. This content poses severe health risks if consumed or handled.
Based on the category and classification of a leak, the Flood Tech water damage assessor, assesses the property and all affected content, ensuring all risks, hazards and damages are thoroughly reviewed and identified. Any health or safety risks are neutralized for the safety of everyone on the premises. We also do an external inspection to ensure no risks are present from the outside of the property.
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.

We conduct a comprehensive interior inspection of the entire property, including every room, crawl space, and crevice, to detect any visible signs of mold.
We conduct a thorough mold inspection around the entire exterior perimeter, paying particular attention to areas that are susceptible to high humidity levels.
We inspect the air quality to ensure it is clean of any bio-hazardous contaminants. Samples are collected for lab testing and confirmation.
Air Temperature and humidity levels are recorded and analyzed for particularly hot and humid areas where mold may be present or has a high risk of forming.
We generate a moisture map that allows us to identify areas that lack proper drying and air circulation which can lead to high risks of mold growth in the future.
All electronics go through testing to verify the extent of damage. Every component gets plugged in and inspected for complete functionality.
We assess all pertinent documents and ensure they are dry and have not been affected by moisture or direct contact with water.
All furniture is inspected for moisture levels and staining caused by direct contact to water. Fabrics are tested for mold and wood is inspected for warping / staining.
Each appliance is carefully inspected and tested for moisture / water damage to the working circuitry.
All antiques / paintings get scanned for moisture and any other contaminants that may have come in contact with them to ensure no degradation will occur due to the emergency.

When unsure where the water leakage originates from, typically you hire 4 companies. A plumber would be hired and sometimes he discovers the problem is not from plumbing and a waterproofing company had to be contacted. When a waterproofing company opens drywall, mould is discovered. A hazmat company now has to come out. To remove mould you still need to extract water and call a flood emergency provider. Once water is extracted, you need to remove content, so you must contact a moving company. After all, remediation is done, you now need to repair the property and call a Construction company to repair the damage.
