Restoration Goals
Restoration encompasses halting the spread of water (mitigation) and initiating the drying process while addressing the damage left behind (remediation). We start by removing visible standing water and then move to dry the area through carefully directed airflow.
Unfortunately, pooled water and moisture trapped inside walls, under floors, or behind cabinets are difficult to manage and can lead to mold growth and further structural decay. To get ahead of that damage and speed the process, we need access to concealed or multi-layered spaces. Enter controlled demolition.
Controlled Demolition Basics
Master Restoration Idaho uses planned, minimal demolition methods to limit disruption while enhancing effectiveness. Depending on the scope and severity of the damage, we might recommend one or more of the following strategies:
- Weep holes in ceilings allow trapped water to drain gradually, avoiding a sudden collapse, which could cause injury and intensified damage from the water weight.
- Drilled access behind baseboards allows drainage and opens pathways for extraction and drying systems to reach wet voids between walls.
- Flood cuts, made between studs a few inches above the water line, permit us to leave a stable and dry edge when removing the affected drywall. Water drains and warm, dry air can enhance evaporation, returning the framing to normal moisture levels.
Restoration After Demolition
Our focus moves to rebuilding after water and moisture removal. Workers reinstall salvaged materials, such as carefully removed cabinet panels or wood trim. New materials, such as drywall sheets, replace those that crumbled during the water’s deluge. We aim to stabilize and repair areas, returning to you and your family the comfort and functionality of your home.
