1. Call a Professional Water Damage Restoration Company Immediately

The restoration process begins with a walk-through to assess the damage in the affected area. The damage restoration team is trained to look for damage in unsuspecting areas.

2. Begin Water Remediation By Removing Standing Water

Removing standing water is the most critical part of the process. It is a race against time to remove the water. The longer you have standing water, the more damage it is doing to your home.

3. Dry the Affected Area

The next step is to make sure the area is clean and dry. The team will use industrial-sized humidifiers and fans to dry the area to minimize mold growth and to prepare the area for restoration.

4. Begin the Restoration Process

The restoration process will not begin until after water remediation. During this final step, damaged flooring, sheetrock, and any other damaged building material are removed. Once completed, the team will begin the restoration process so that your home is back to its original state.

Frequently Asked Questions

RainFire Restoration’s core steps are:

  1. Call a professional water damage restoration company immediately to assess the situation.

Standing water causes ongoing damage — the longer it sits, the more it can warp wood, soak into drywall, and create ideal conditions for mold growth. Prompt removal helps prevent secondary issues and reduces overall restoration time and cost.

While small cleanup efforts might be done personally, professional remediation is strongly recommended because trained technicians can locate hidden water damage, use industrial equipment for extraction and drying, and prevent long-term problems such as mold and structural decay. Proper professional intervention also supports insurance claims.

Drying times vary based on the amount of water and materials involved. With industrial-grade equipment, drying can take several days — professionals monitor moisture levels continuously to ensure the area reaches safe, dry conditions before moving on to restoration.

Delays can lead to:

  • Mold growth on walls, floors, and contents.

  • Structural damage, such as warped wood or weakened drywall.

  • Poor air quality and health issues.

  • Increased repair costs and longer restoration timelines.
    Early action mitigates these risks and helps restore the home more efficiently.
