There are many different things that run through your mind when your Sandusky home suffers from water damage, many of them being 4 letter words that probably shouldn’t be written down or said aloud. However, there is one 4 letter word that is always on the minds of homeowners who need water damage restoration that we can say and talk about, and that is T I M E. We know that getting your home back to normal is your number one priority, and ours is to respond as quickly as possible so we can mitigate any further damage – so time really is of the essence when dealing with water damage restoration. While we wish we could give you a standard estimate of how much time it takes to restore your home after water damage, every case is different, so it varies greatly. With that being said, we do want to give you some factors to consider when trying to determine how long your water damage restoration project will take so you can plan accordingly. To come up with a good estimate for your water damage restoration timeline, we will have to consider:

  1. How much water is present
  2. How long has the water been present
  3. How much time will be needed to stop the source of the water
  4. What type of water is present (there are three different categories of water based on contamination level, the more contaminated the water, the more extensive the restoration)
  5. What area of the home sustained the water damage
  6. How old the home is (if your home was built before 1985, then asbestos testing must be done before any sections are opened for drying which usually takes 24-48 hours to get results, then, if positive, an abatement company has to be contacted)
  7. What type of materials have been exposed to the water
  8. How much drying time will be needed to remove all excess water and moisture thoroughly and completely
  9. What repairs/rebuild/replacements will be required to return your home to its pre-loss condition
