Here at Ault Restoration, we offer two main services to help customers resolve water damage: water damage repairs and water damage reconstruction. If you’re wondering how the two services differ, we’re here to clear up the confusion and help you understand which option may be right for you.
Water damage repair and water damage reconstruction services both begin the same way. We will perform a thorough inspection of the space to assess the severity of the water damage, identify the source of the problem, identify the damaged materials, and determine the level of contamination. Next, we will thoroughly remove the water and ensure that the area is completely dry before we begin implementing preventative measures. This involves sanitizing the surface and applying an antimicrobial solution to prevent mold and mildew growth.
The key difference between water damage repair and water damage reconstruction occurs at the end of the project. Repairs may include resolving small areas of water damage but keeping the rest of the building material when possible. Reconstruction will be more extensive by tearing away the damaged parts and replacing them with new materials. Whether we choose water damage repairs or water damage reconstruction will usually depend on the extent of the water damage and the materials that were damaged.
We will always provide whatever services you need to resolve any water damage you find during your renovation or construction project, whether that might be water damage repairs, reconstruction, or otherwise. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call if you’d like to learn more or schedule an appointment.
