Water damage restoration covers the whole job after water gets into an Edmond home: finding where it went, pulling it out, drying the structure and removing what cannot be saved. Most homes here sit on concrete slabs, so water runs under carpet pad, laminate, cabinets and the bottom of drywall rather than draining away.
The restoration crew starts by naming the water category. Category 1 is clean water from a supply line. Category 2 is gray water, such as a washer or dishwasher overflow. Category 3 is sewage or outside flood water. The category decides what can be dried in place and what has to go to the curb.
Drying is done with air movers, dehumidifiers and, for wet walls, small holes or a cut at the base of the drywall. Readings are taken each day until wood, drywall and the slab reach a normal dry level for the house. Spring storms and humid Oklahoma summers keep indoor air damp, so dehumidifiers matter as much as fans here.
Warning signs that water spread farther than it looks include baseboards pulling away, laminate edges cupping, a musty smell in a closet and paint bubbling low on a wall. Mold can start growing in 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and pad, which is why the clock matters.
