  • Water damage can result from many sources, all of which can produce devastating results. Natural disasters such as storms and floods can wreak havoc, while plumbing issues, roof leaks, and defective appliances can lead to mold growth and threaten the structural integrity of a building. Seeking professional assistance to prevent further damage is essential in maintaining a safe environment.

  • It is vitally important that when water damage strikes, immediate action be taken to mitigate mold growth. Rainbow Restoration professionals can assist you with defending against mold growth through a swift assessment of the water damage’s source and extent.

    Rainbow Restoration utilizes advanced moisture detection equipment such as thermal imaging to detect hidden water damage in properties. Our experts then assess any contamination to develop a plan to minimize future damages. Documentation plays an integral part in this process helping clients file insurance claims and preparing the basis of an action plan to restore your property.

  • Water extraction is the next step in our water damage restoration process. Using industrial-grade vacuums and pumps, we quickly extract it from your property. We employ tools to monitor moisture levels. Once extraction has taken place, drying begins; our specialists use industrial dehumidifiers and dryers to dry your property thoroughly. Any material that cannot be fully dried or that has already been infested by mold will be disposed of carefully.

    Once we complete the drying process, we take steps to sanitize and disinfect affected areas to protect them from further mold growth. Our techniques include surface and deep cleansing, odor removal, and air quality improvement. While we try our best to salvage as many items as possible from damage, some items may not be salvageable.
