Water Mitigation in New Middletown

Water mitigation is the process of reducing or preventing the amount of water damage that happens after a flood or a leak occurs in a home or building. Through the mitigation process further damage can be prevented. Water damage comes from many sources such as plumbing problems, storm floods, or even a small leak.

Categories

Determine the category of water that has damaged the property.

Category 1: Clean liquid from sanitary source (water fountain, sink, etc.)

Category 2: Liquid from unsanitary source (toilet overflow, dishwasher, etc.) that can cause illness if ingested
