How Restoration Experts Can Help after a Disaster

“What is restoration?” is a question that can have several answers. It depends on the type of event that occurred and the scope of the damage. In general, restoration experts will:

·       Remove items and building materials that are damaged beyond repair

·       Clean what can be salvaged

·       Make necessary repairs 

Water Damage Restoration

A flood or a burst pipe can severely damage or destroy furniture, carpet, hardwood flooring, electronics, and other belongings. Even a minor flooding event can turn a home or business into a breeding ground for mould, which poses a serious health risk.

The water damage restoration specialists at Resolve Restoration use specialized equipment to thoroughly dry out affected areas and check for the presence of mould. We clean affected areas, remove any items that cannot be cleaned or repaired, and neutralize any lingering odours.

Fire Restoration

After a fire, members of our team figure out what can be saved and what should be discarded. If building materials and personal belongings can be salvaged, we use specialized tools to remove soot and smoke. If firefighters used water to douse the flames, our fire restoration experts thoroughly dry out the affected area and take steps to remove any mould that is present or to keep mould from growing. We also deodourize the building to eliminate the smell of smoke and soot.

Sewage Backup Restoration

A sewage leak can create a mess and put people’s health at risk. Our sewage restoration specialists assess the damage and contain it to keep it from getting worse. We then use industrial-grade equipment to extract sewage and contaminated water, clean and disinfect the affected areas, and thoroughly dry out and deodourize the building.
