When a flood hits your home, the aftermath can be overwhelming. From soaked floors to hidden mold, the damage goes deeper than what meets the eye. At Kwik Dry Restoration and Remodeling, we specialize in helping homeowners get back on their feet quickly, safely, and with long-term peace of mind.
Step 1: Safety First
Before anything else, make sure your family is safe:
Turn off the electricity and gas if necessary.
Avoid wading through standing water—it could be contaminated or electrically charged.
Contact your insurance provider and take photos of the damage.
Step 2: Emergency Water Extraction
Time is critical. The longer water sits, the more damage it does. Our certified team uses high-powered extraction tools to remove water fast, protecting your home’s structure and preventing mold growth.
Step 3: Drying and Dehumidification
Flood water gets into walls, under flooring, and behind cabinets. Our commercial-grade drying equipment ensures every inch is dried thoroughly to industry standards (we follow IICRC guidelines).
Step 4: Mold Inspection and Remediation
Even after drying, moisture can linger. Mold can begin to grow within 24–48 hours. We inspect hidden areas and use HEPA filtration and antimicrobial treatments to stop mold before it spreads.
Step 5: Damage Assessment and Restoration Planning
Once your property is dry and safe, we assess structural and cosmetic damage:
Drywall replacement
Flooring repairs
Cabinetry, baseboards, and insulation
Repainting and remodeling
We provide a full restoration roadmap, working closely with your insurance company for a seamless experience.
Step 6: Full-Service Rebuild and Remodeling
Our restoration services go beyond clean-up. Need to remodel your kitchen, bathroom, or living space after the damage? We’ve got you covered. From flooring to final finishes, Kwik Dry brings your home back—better than ever.
