About The Service
When Should You Call for Water Damage or Flooding?
You should call when water enters a building unexpectedly or remains present after an incident.
Even small amounts of standing water or hidden moisture can cause material deterioration, structural issues, or secondary contamination if left untreated.
Some situations require immediate response, while others can be scheduled once the water source has been controlled.
- Common reasons to call include:
- Flooded basements or crawl spaces
- Burst or leaking pipes
- Sewer or drain backups
- Appliance or plumbing failures
- Storm or heavy rainfall intrusion
- Standing water in mechanical rooms, elevator shafts, or shared building areas
Why Choose Us
What Water Damage Restoration Includes
Water damage restoration involves responding differently depending on the category of water involved and how the structure and contents have been affected. Not all situations can be resolved through drying alone.
Services may include:
Standing water is removed using appropriate equipment to limit spread and reduce saturation of surrounding materials. Contents are protected and/or removed.
In clean or lightly contaminated water situations, controlled drying and dehumidification are used where materials can be safely salvaged. Drying is not assumed and is only applied when conditions allow.
Once moisture levels are stabilized, affected materials are reviewed and next steps are determined. This includes identifying materials that must be removed in Category 3 water situations and planning repairs or reconstruction accordingly.
Our Process
How The Cleanup Process Works
Water damage restoration follows a structured process that changes based on the category of water involved.
The approach is determined through assessment, not assumption.
Affected areas are identified, moisture levels are measured, and the spread of water is documented to include water extraction.
During this stage, the category of water is determined, including whether the situation involves Category 1–2 water or Category 3 contaminated water.
Depending on the situation, this may involve:
Controlled drying and dehumidification for Category 1–2 water where materials can be safely dried, or
Removal of affected porous materials in Category 3 water situations, where drying is not possible or safe.
Drying is not automatically applied and is only used when appropriate to the category and condition of materials.
Once moisture issues are addressed and required materials are removed, next steps for repair or reconstruction are clearly outlined.
Coordination at this stage ensures work can proceed safely without delays, rework, or confusion.
Focused On Preventing Long-term Damage
Water damage that is not handled properly can lead to structural deterioration, material breakdown, and mould growth. These issues often appear after visible water has been removed.
Grimebusters focuses on thorough assessment, clear documentation, and careful follow-up to reduce the likelihood of recurring issues. The goal is to stabilize the property and ensure repairs address the full scope of the damage.
