  • Water damage is caused by numerous sources, including natural disasters, plumbing issues, roof leaks, lack of sewer drainage, HVAC malfunctions, issues with your building foundation, and ineffective window/door seals.

    No matter the source, any form of water damage poses a threat to your property.

  • If you find yourself dealing with water damage in Northeast Pennsylvania, immediate action must be taken. Any delay could result in mold growth, especially during the humid months of the year. Calling professionals such as Rainbow Restoration immediately can stop any further damage and ensure your safety.

  • Rainbow Restoration in Northeast Pennsylvania employs a four-step water damage restoration process to ensure thorough restoration.

    Step 1: Assess the Source and Extent of Water Damage

    We utilize moisture detection equipment to locate hidden water damage and mold growth. We also assess the contamination level of the water source and formulate an efficient plan for removing the water. All our findings are then documented for your use in filing an insurance claim.

    Step 2: Extract Water from Your Property

    Industrial-grade pumps and vacuums are used to remove water from properties damaged by floodwaters. After extracting the water, we safely dispose of the contaminated water and any irreparable items.

    Step 3: Drying Excess Moisture

    Even after extracting water from a property, excess moisture may remain. We use industrial dryers and dehumidifiers for thorough drying to avoid mold spore formation.

    Step 4: Cleaning Affected Areas

    To limit mold's spread, we take all steps possible to disinfect all affected areas. This includes surface and deep cleaning techniques, deodorization, and air filtration.
