Flooding and Water Damage Restoration in Downtown Knoxville, TN

Not only does Downtown Knoxville feature thousands of homes and apartments, but it also has become one of the top locations for shopping and retail. When disasters like water line bursts or appliance malfunctions threaten these structures, prompt action is needed. Water emergencies can quickly spread through a structure, exposing contents and building materials to deteriorating moisture. Our fast response to these emergencies can ensure that the appropriate mitigation actions get taken as soon as possible. 

Standing Water Removal from Downtown Knoxville Homes 

Standing water can be a considerable threat for your home or business, namely because absorption can begin immediately. The migration of loss effects throughout your property can become challenging to manage and control once saturation of exposed building materials has occurred. Failure to remove standing water from the home can often lead to a need for controlled demolition and repairs after much of the extraction completes.  

Thorough Water Damage Drying in Downtown Knoxville

Drying up moisture and saturated elements in your home can fall to multiple pieces of leading equipment. Air movers and dehumidifiers are two types of recovery machines most commonly utilized in this phase of restoration, though specialty drying tools can also help. Many of the advanced devices are designed to treat conditions like trapped moisture in structural cavities, such as: 

  • Weighted extractors
  • Positive pressure systems
  • Negative pressure systems
  • Floor drying mats

Our Restoration Process

Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

1.  Emergency Contact

When you call us, our consultant will guide you through several questions that will help us respond to your water emergency more quickly and efficiently. This initial contact is an important part of a fast, effective restoration.

2. Inspection and Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of your water damage at this stage is crucial to developing a plan of action. We inspect and test the damaged area to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration.

3. Water Removal / Water Extraction

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. We start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.

4. Drying and Dehumidification

We use specialized equipment to remove the remaining water which is harder to access. Our Professionals will use room measurements, temperature, and relative humidity to determine the optimal number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home or business.

5. Cleaning and Sanitizing

Water damage also affects your belongings, like furniture, clothing, and personal items. We can clean restorable items using a number of specialized cleaning techniques. We also disinfect with antimicrobial treatments and remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

6. Restoration

The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.
