Water Damage Cleanup

Water grows our food, covers our world, and sustains our very existence. But it also has the power to destroy what we create. Whether water damage occurs quickly or takes place over time, the cleanup can be difficult and messy. Vital Restoration is dedicated to providing excellent, and rapid, water damage cleanup to the entire Bay area.

We often don’t stop to consider how incredible it is that we have running water at our fingertips. The power of water is often hidden by the ubiquitous nature of water taps and spigots. Water in the form of a leak or a burst pipe can soak carpets, destroy furniture and other personal goods, and it can even compromise the integrity of a building.

Leaky Roofs

Water damage can occur due to a leaky roof. Slow, steady drips can warp wood, destroy walls and ceilings, and provide a breeding ground for the formation of mold and other harmful bacteria. Clogged gutters and other rooftop blockages can cause water to collect in puddles on and under roof shingles. Water can also seep in and soak wood or damage insulation in attics and crawlspaces.

Plumbing Problems

A plumbing issue is the most common cause of water damage. Minor leaks, which can go undetected for years, can occur behind walls, under floors, and even in the ceiling. Major leaks, which are typically immediately identifiable, can be just as damaging. Water can soak carpets and carpet pads providing the perfect breeding ground for all sorts of dangerous molds and bacterial growths.

We’ll Dry You Out

Regardless of how the water damage occurred, it must be cleaned thoroughly and professionally. Vital Restoration provides licensed water damage cleanup for the entire San Francisco area. We begin by removing any standing or pooling water. Our trained and experienced technicians use industrial extractors to remove all standing water.

Once the pools of liquid have been removed, the real water damage cleanup can begin. Dehumidification is a critical step in the cleanup process. We use state-of-the-art equipment to remove water molecules in the air ensuring a dry, clean environment.

Freeze Dried

After assessing the situation, our trained technicians will employ the best method for dealing with your specific problem. If you have books, paper, or other archival printed materials, we can conduct closed room freezing to protect your information. This process maximizes water extraction at low temperatures to minimize damage to your valuable texts.

Damage Repair

If the damage is structural (in frames, floorboards, or drywall), we can enact water mitigation techniques. Our expert staff can blast the moisture out of your wooden structures quickly and effectively removing the water and the risk for mold and bacteria development.

When carpet is damaged by water, it can cause tearing and discoloration. Our water damage cleanup techniques can repair, stretch, and even dye your carpet. Our dedicated technicians can even handle carpet mold removal.
