Water damage is difficult to deal with because even small leaks or short-term flooding can spread moisture throughout the house. You need a floor to ceiling approach to detecting water in the home and drying it all out as thoroughly as possible. Lingering pockets of moisture lead to long-term problems with mold, rot, and other issues. A complete approach to both water mitigation and the resulting damage repair ensures that nothing is overlooked or forgotten in the process.

Here at Absolute Water Damage and Mitigation, we use a top-to-bottom approach that will give you the peace of mind you need that your home is restored to its original condition.
6 Tips
for Dealing with a Water Emergency
1. Begin Water Mitigation as Soon as Possible
Reduce the chances of serious damage and mold growth by stopping the flow of water and removing the moisture ASAP. Turn to us if you’re not sure where the water is coming from or how to stop it, not just after the repairs begin.
2. Increase Ventilation
As soon as the water stops flowing, begin ventilating the wet areas. Using open windows and fans can help increase evaporation while the mitigation and repair process begins.
3. Wear Protective Gear in Wet Areas
Even if you think a room seems dry enough, mold spores could be lingering in the air that are invisible to the naked eye. Wearing protective suits, goggles, and mold-rated respirators allows you to access the affected areas without risking illness or injury.
4. Track the Damage
If you’re going to make a claim to your home insurance company, take extensive photos of the original sources of the water, the damage it causes, and anything related to the repair process. This will help back up your claim and solve any disputes that might arise and interfere with the delivery of your compensation.
5. Don’t Rush to Clean Up
It’s tempting to try and tackle the water removal and drying out process on your own. But for most homeowners, letting a water mitigation team do the hard work is a much safer choice. You could end up exposed to bacteria or viruses in the flood water or react to mold growth triggered by the moisture levels.
6. Prevent Fewer Leaks
Whether you need to add a sump pump to a basement or commit to a better gutter cleaning routine, make sure you address the original cause of the water damage. While water mitigation is sometimes needed because of a massive storm that floods the Colorado Springs area, it’s far more common that the water damage comes from a preventable source.
Common Causes of Water Damage
Severe storms with rapid rainfall lead to flash flooding that can affect many area homes. It’s a top cause of Colorado Springs water mitigation calls. Yet the source of water damage often comes from inside the home instead. Broken pipes in walls and floors often pour out thousands of gallons of water before you detect the problem and solve it. The area’s cold winters make frozen pipes a common problem for homeowners. Aside from standard plumbing leaks, water issues can arise from damaged washing machine or dishwasher connections. Malfunctioning equipment or plumbing also leads to serious flooding in many cases. Other common causes of residential water damage include roof leaks, clogged gutters, and leaking A/C units. No matter the cause, Absolute Water Damage and Mitigation can help solve the damage it creates.
Water Mitigation vs Restoration and Damage Repair
Water mitigation and water restoration services are related but quite different. Many companies only handle one or the other, but here at Absolute, we do it all. Mitigation covers the discovery of the cause of the leak or flooding and the removal of the lingering moisture. This often involves opening up walls, removing baseboards and drywall, and leaving areas free of insulation that was soaked with water. But that’s where water mitigation services end. In order to get your home back to the state it was before the leak or flood, you’ll need water damage restoration and repair services as well. This process includes all the work to replace damaged materials and restore paint and other finishes so it’s hard to tell that any repairs were even needed.
