Discover How Professionals Make Water Remediation Part of a Seamless Process

When water damage impacts your Johns Creek home, it is understandable to feel out of control and overwhelmed. Regardless of how the water invasion occurred, you need a speedy and effective response, and you do not have time to puzzle out whether the answer is water remediation or water mitigation. Fortunately, the experts at AdvantaClean of Norcross and Buford recognize that mitigation and remediation are sequential and interrelated, meaning no “choice” is needed. Trust our IICRC-trained team to assess your water damage scenario and develop a customized plan that utilizes restoration industry best practices to guide the recovery project through every step necessary. 

Recovery from Water Disaster Is a Continuum

Keep in mind that water mitigation and water remediation are both critical to effective restoration. Although different, they are also closely related steps taken during every water damage recovery. Together, they outline a clear path for Johns Creek residents seeking a sustainable and effective solution to water damage. 

Stop the Water

Water mitigation, or halting the flow, is your first line of defense after a water incursion. Targeted interventions prevent more water from entering your home and stop further damage. These emergency measures control the situation, stabilizing the affected spaces. Examples of mitigation include shutting off supply lines, sandbagging or using other barriers to control flooding, removing soaked items such as saturated carpeting, and initiating water extraction.

Move Into Water Remediation

Once the water flow or seepage ceases and preliminary water removal is underway, water remediation strategies are implemented and then extend beyond water cessation efforts. During water remediation, the technicians of AdvantaClean of Norcross and Buford pursue: 

  • Advanced water extraction, concentrating on water hidden in hard-to-reach areas, which could require specialized equipment or techniques such as:

  • Floor mats that suction fluids from multiple layers.  

  • Hoses that extract water through baseboard-level drilled holes or that blow dry, heated air into building cavities to facilitate drying.

  • Controlled demolition that offers access to hidden caches of water and saturated building material.  

  • Mold inspection and EPA-compliant mold remediation upon discovery of microbial growth in water-damaged or damp spaces. 

  • Surface cleaning with EPA-registered products where water leaves soiling or other contamination. 

  • Sanitizing and disinfecting affected surfaces with EPA-registered agents. 

  • Containment, collection, and lawful disposal of contaminated materials and fluids while adhering to industry standards on personal protective equipment (PPE) use  

  • Applied structural drying following IICRC standards 

  • Deodorization and air quality improvement 

Water Remediation Sets Stage for Restoration 

The water remediation phase readies your Johns Creek home for the repairs, replacement, and restoration of damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation. Water mitigation, followed by water remediation, provides the framework for a long-lasting and sustainable restoration after water damage. Water remediation seamlessly connects the first phase with the final phase in any comprehensive water damage recovery project.
