Three types of Property Restoration after damage to your home or office.

There are a number of different types of damage your house can endure, and thus a number of types of property restoration. You may not have a clue what to do when one of the three main types of property damage happens to you, or how to remedy it, but we’ve made a list to explain things!

The 3 Types of Property Restoration

1. Water Damage Restoration

By far, water damage is the most common type of damage to affect a home, whether that looks like a flooded basement or a broken appliance leaking onto the floor. The best thing you can do is call a professional to remove any remaining water and assess the damage. The process involves using technology to remove water, equipment to treat water damage, and finally inspecting for mold, which can appear as a result of water damage.

2. Fire Damage Restoration

Having a home damaged by fire is devastating. Not only can fire destroy large portions of a building, but the odor of smoke is left behind. Calling a professional is crucial in helping get back to normal, not only in terms of fixing the damage and smell but also mentally as a result of getting these things taken care of quickly.

3. Mold Damage Restoration

Mold damage, while the least visible, presents its own threat in that mold can affect your health, from causing respiratory issues to eye and skin irritation.
If you’ve had any water damage left unchecked in the past, this can be the cause of mold, as mold grows from moisture. A professional can identify and eliminate mold growth in the home, making it safe to live in once again.

You may be left wondering who the professionals you can contact are, and the answer to that is RainFire Restoration. Visit RainFire Restoration today to get the peace of mind you deserve!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the three core categories:

  • Water Damage Restoration – involves removing standing water, drying and dehumidifying the structure, and inspecting for secondary issues like mold growth.

  • Fire Damage Restoration – focuses on repairing structural damage caused by fire, removing smoke residue and odor, and stabilizing the property after a fire event.
  • Mold Damage Restoration – targets mold infestations typically resulting from moisture, eliminating the mold safely, and preventing future regrowth.

These types help the RainFire professionals tailor the restoration process to the specific form of damage that is in front of you.

You should strongly consider professional help when:

  • Damage is extensive or affects structural elements (e.g., walls, floors, roofing).

  • Water damage has soaked into building materials and risks mold growth.

  • Smoke, soot, or odor persists after a fire event.

  • You’re unsure how widespread the damage is.
    Pros bring specialized equipment and training to properly dry, clean, and restore your home — especially critical for mold and fire scenarios.

Immediately after noticing water damage (like flooding, leaks, or an appliance burst), you should:

  1. Stop the source if possible (shut off water).

  2. Remove standing water or begin extraction.

  3. Contact a professional restoration company as soon as possible.
    Rapid action helps prevent structural issues and reduces the risk of mold, which can begin growing in as little as 24–48 hours after moisture exposure.

Mold isn’t always immediately visible, but it can pose health risks (respiratory irritation, allergies) and can continue spreading if not addressed correctly. It often arises from unresolved water issues. Professionals assess the extent, safely remove mold, and treat affected areas to stop future growth.

Coverage varies widely by policy and cause of damage. Generally:

  • Water damage from sudden events (e.g., burst pipe) may be covered.

  • Flooding from external sources often requires separate flood insurance.

  • Fire damage is typically covered under standard homeowners’ policies.

  • Mold coverage depends on whether the policy considers it a direct result of a covered peril.
    Because of this complexity, many restoration companies also assist with insurance claims, documenting damage to help ensure you receive appropriate compensation.
