Water damage mitigation and restoration in Winter Haven, Florida. Take a look at the “before and after” pictures and learn how we eliminated water damage for our client, caused by two water leaks, and restored her property to its prior condition!
At One Stop Restoration, we’re here to help homeowners when water damage turns their homes upside down. Recently, we worked on a home in Winter Haven, FL, that had water damage in the kitchen and living room. The property needed water damage mitigation and then restoration. We got in there, cleaned it up, and fixed it to look as good as new!
A major water damage and intrusion event occurred due to two simultaneous sources: a water leak from the kitchen sink and an air conditioning unit water leak in the living room. These issues led to extensive flooding throughout the property, affecting multiple rooms and surfaces. The resulting water damage was substantial, compromising flooring, drywall, and various structural components of the home.
Our team promptly responded to the situation, arriving on-site to carry out comprehensive water damage mitigation services. This included drying out saturated materials using professional-grade equipment, and treating affected areas to prevent mold growth.
Following the water mitigation process, the water damage restoration phase began. We initiated the rebuilding phase, which involved repairing and restoring all damaged sections of the property. This ensured the home was returned to its pre-loss condition with safety, functionality, and aesthetics fully restored.
We quickly identified and shut off the kitchen plumbing and disconnected the AC unit to prevent further water intrusion, ensuring no additional moisture entered the home before beginning mitigation procedures.
First, we checked everything to see how bad the water damage was. We looked at the walls, ceilings, and floors to figure out what needed to be removed and replaced.
Using high-powered water extraction equipment, we removed all standing water from affected rooms, significantly reducing saturation levels and helping prevent secondary damage such as buckling floors or mold formation. This is an essential step for water damage mitigation.
We strategically placed commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry structural elements like studs, subfloors, and drywall cavities, promoting rapid moisture evaporation and reducing the risk of long-term deterioration.
The wet and damaged materials, like drywall, insulation, and parts of the flooring, had to go. We cut out the bad sections and hauled them away to make space for repairs.
All affected areas were treated with EPA-approved antimicrobial agents to disinfect surfaces and inhibit mold growth, providing a safer indoor environment and protecting against future biological contamination.
We evaluated all affected areas following the water damage mitigation and developed a damage restoration plan for our Winter Haven client. We' prioritized structural repairs, material replacements, and cosmetic damage restoration to bring the home back to a safe, livable condition.
Rebuilt damaged sections of drywall, insulation, and framing where materials were removed during the damage mitigation, ensuring structural integrity and preparing surfaces for finishing touches like painting and flooring installation.
In such cases water damage restoration requires flooring replacement. We removed the water-damaged flooring where necessary and replaced it with new materials.
Painted newly installed drywall and touched up surrounding surfaces to blend repairs seamlessly with existing finishes, restoring a consistent and refreshed look to the home’s interior.
Replaced cabinets and vanities that were water-damaged, restoring both function and aesthetic harmony to the affected spaces.
Following a final cleaning and another inspection/walkthrough, the house went from being water-damaged to looking brand new. The walls and floors were all fixed up, and the home was once again safe and comfortable for the family again. Following the water damage mitigation and restoration, the homeowners were really happy with how everything turned out!
