Water Damage Restoration Services in Knoxville

The residents of Knoxville are no strangers to water damage. Situated in the Great Smoky Mountains, the large University Town is located right in the heart of the Appalachian Temperate Rainforest. As the name implies, rain is abundant in this area, and growth, particularly the growth of mold happens quickly.

Thankfully, Rainbow Restoration® of Knoxville can help mitigate the impacts of water damage in Knoxville. Our experienced professionals are the first people you should call when water damage affects your home or business.

In this article, we’ll explain some of the processes our team uses to dry your property, prevent mold growth, and set you up to avoid water damage issues in the future.

  • Two of the biggest impacts caused by water damage are mold growth and structural integrity issues. In situations where the water damage is fairly minimal, like a busted water heater in your closet, mold growth is the greater concern. Conversely, when the water damage is severe, like damage caused by a flood, structural integrity becomes the primary issue. Keep in mind, regardless of the level of water damage, you always want to pay attention to both factors.

How We Prevent Structural Damage and Mold Growth Following Water Damage


Let’s tackle mold first. Mold can form in as little as 24 hours after an area becomes waterlogged. Because of this rapid growth time, which is further aided by the muggy climate of Knoxville in the summer, it’s crucial to contact a restoration professional the moment your building experiences water damage. By acting promptly, mold growth can be avoided altogether.

Avoiding structural damage is also time sensitive, and relies on many of the same techniques as mold prevention. We use industrial-strength pumps, ventilation methods, fans, and more to remove any moisture from the affected area. If something is too damaged to repair, such as waterlogged drywall, we’ll remove and dispose of the material so that it doesn’t foster mold or continue to soak other areas of your property.
