Expert Water Damage Restoration for Princes Lakes Homeowners

Water that came in through the roof during a storm in Princes Lakes usually soaks the attic insulation before it reaches the ceiling below. That insulation holds the water against the drywall long after the rain stops. A tarp over the opening stops new water, and the attic still needs drying. Princes Lakes Water Restoration covers the opening, removes the wet insulation and dries the attic and the ceiling under it.

The company behind Princes Lakes Water Restoration was founded by Aaron Christy in 2018, and he still leads it. The company holds a BBB A+ rating and has been BBB accredited since 2019. Crews document a small leak the same way they document a flooded floor, with photos, daily readings and a written scope that you approve before any removal starts.

Hardwood dries slowly because the boards hold water inside the wood itself. The crew sets drying mats on the floor that pull moisture out through the boards while the dehumidifiers take it out of the air. Princes Lakes Water Restoration reads the boards in your Princes Lakes home each day, and those readings decide whether the floor can stay or has to be replaced.

The file Princes Lakes Water Restoration leaves with you is useful long after the floors are dry. It shows the readings that proved your Princes Lakes home dried out, the photos of what was removed and the repairs that replaced it. If you sell the house, a buyer's inspector may ask about a patched wall or new flooring, and that file answers the question.

You don't need to sort out every question before you call. Princes Lakes Water Restoration dispatches a crew to your Princes Lakes home within 2 hours to stop the damage, and the photo report and readings will be ready when you decide what to do about insurance.

Our Process

How Princes Lakes Water Restoration Handles Water Damage Restoration

We follow these steps in order on every Princes Lakes job.

1

The First Call

You describe where the water is coming from in your Princes Lakes home and which rooms it has reached. Princes Lakes Water Restoration talks you through shutting off the water and power safely, and tells you what to leave in place so the crew can photograph it.

2

Moisture Mapping

The crew checks every affected room with a thermal camera and moisture meters, then reads rooms the water never reached to set a dry target. The source gets identified, and every wet area is photographed before any equipment goes in.

3

Removing What Won't Dry

Materials that the readings show won't dry, such as saturated drywall and swollen trim, get cut out along measured lines and bagged. You see a photo and hear the reason for each removal before the cut is made.

4

Final Readings

The crew takes final readings on every material that got wet and compares them with dry materials in the same house. Equipment comes out after those numbers are written down, and any containment comes down last.

5

Checks at Each Stage

The work gets checked after extraction, during drying, before repairs start and at the end. Each check adds photos and readings to your file, so the next stage starts from a documented condition.

Common Questions

Water Damage Restoration FAQ

Questions Princes Lakes homeowners ask us about water damage restoration.

Yes. Princes Lakes Water Restoration takes water emergency calls from Princes Lakes 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays, and dispatches a crew within 2 hours whenever you call. Water keeps spreading overnight, so a call at 2 in the morning gets the same response as one at noon. When you call, have the address ready and say whether water is still coming in.
Stop the source if you can and call right away, because the longer materials stay wet, the more of them have to come out. Once the crew starts, let the drying run until the readings say it's finished, since stopping early can mean a second round of work. Princes Lakes Water Restoration also keeps removal in your Princes Lakes home to what the readings support, and you see the reason for each cut before it happens.
The crew photographs the damage for your photo report, and Princes Lakes Water Restoration goes over it with you before you talk to your insurance company. You file the claim and talk with your insurer, and the photo report is yours to share. Your insurance company makes the coverage decisions. The crew's part is extracting the water, drying your Princes Lakes home and keeping an accurate record of all of it.
Under the S500, class describes how much of the structure is wet. Class 2 means a large amount of water that has reached a whole room, wetting the carpet and pad and wicking up the walls. Class 3 means the most water, often coming from above and saturating the ceiling and walls. Class 1 is a small area, and Class 4 covers dense materials like hardwood and plaster. Princes Lakes Water Restoration sets the class from moisture readings in your Princes Lakes home.
Wet drywall, wood and subfloor hold water inside them, and it comes out slowly. The air movers pull water off the surfaces, and the dehumidifiers take it out of the air, so the materials can keep giving up more. Dense wood and plaster give it up slowest. Princes Lakes Water Restoration runs the equipment around the clock and checks the readings daily, and the equipment comes out when the numbers say the house is dry.
Porous materials that soaked up Category 3 water, like carpet, pad, insulation and unsealed drywall, are usually removed and discarded. Hard, nonporous surfaces such as tile and sealed concrete can usually be cleaned and disinfected, and framing and subfloor are cleaned and dried in place when the readings and the surface condition allow. Princes Lakes Water Restoration gives you a written list of what came out of your Princes Lakes home and why, with photos.
It can if the materials get wet again or if moisture stays in a spot the drying missed. That's why the crew compares final readings with dry reference readings before pulling equipment, and why the source of the leak has to be repaired. Moderate indoor humidity and a quick look at the spot for new stains also help. Princes Lakes Water Restoration leaves you the final readings for your Princes Lakes home so you can compare against a baseline later.
You can usually stay in the house, since the dry rooms remain usable, though the equipment is loud and draws a lot of power. The crew keeps cords and hoses tidy so you can still move around your Princes Lakes home. If the kitchen or bathroom is out of service, or water reached the bedrooms, you may prefer to stay elsewhere for a few days. Ask your agent whether your policy includes living expense coverage.
They do two jobs that depend on each other. Air movers blow air across wet surfaces and into cavities, which lifts moisture off the materials. Dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the air and drain it away, so the air can keep absorbing more. Both are needed for drying to move at a steady pace, and Princes Lakes Water Restoration balances them room by room in your Princes Lakes home as the readings change.
It depends on the scope. Drywall and paint in one room often take a few working days once the house is dry. New flooring can add a few more, depending on the material and when it arrives. A full kitchen or bathroom takes longer. Princes Lakes Water Restoration gives you a written repair schedule before work starts, so you know what's happening each day in your Princes Lakes home.
