Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most frequently asked restoration questions from Independence property owners.

Do you handle both residential and commercial water damage in Independence?

Yes. Our Independence, IA teams are equipped for projects of any scale — from single-room residential water damage to multi-story commercial buildings. We carry commercial-grade extraction equipment, industrial dehumidifiers, and enough air movers to handle large-scale losses. Our commercial clients include property managers, HOAs, and business owners throughout Iowa.

Can you help with water damage to my crawl space or basement in Independence?

Absolutely. Crawl space and basement water damage are among the most common calls we receive in Independence, IA. Our crews are equipped with submersible pumps for standing water removal, vapor barriers for crawl space encapsulation, and commercial drying equipment sized for below-grade spaces. We also identify and address the source of intrusion to prevent recurrence.

How do you prevent mold after water damage in Independence, IA?

Our mold prevention protocol for Independence properties includes rapid water extraction within the first hour, strategic placement of commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers, application of antimicrobial treatments to affected surfaces, and continuous monitoring of moisture levels until readings return to normal. Speed is the single most important factor in preventing mold growth after water damage.

What should I do first when I discover water damage in my Independence home?

First, stop the water source if you can safely do so — shut off the main water valve or the appliance causing the leak. Then call a certified restoration company immediately. In Independence, IA, our team responds within 60 minutes to begin water extraction and prevent secondary damage like mold growth. Do not use household vacuums on standing water and avoid walking on wet carpet when possible.

How do you detect hidden moisture in walls and floors in Independence homes?

Our Independence technicians use professional-grade moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers to map moisture throughout your property. These tools detect water hidden behind walls, under flooring, and in ceiling cavities that is invisible to the eye. Accurate moisture mapping ensures we dry every affected area and prevents hidden pockets of moisture from causing mold or structural decay later.

What is the difference between Category 1, 2, and 3 water damage in Independence?

Category 1 is clean water from sources like broken supply lines. Category 2 is gray water from appliances or sump pump failures that may contain contaminants. Category 3 is black water from sewage backups or outdoor flooding and poses serious health risks. Each category requires different safety protocols and restoration methods. Our Independence technicians assess the water category on arrival and follow IICRC S500 standards accordingly.
