Water is the most pervasive and long-lasting environmental hazard in the home. When there’s too much moisture or flooding, buildings and personal belongings can deteriorate quickly. The damage is even worse when the water is unclean or cleanup services are delayed.
Water damage is significantly reduced by immediate and effective remediation, particularly within the first 24 to 48 hours. Water damage may appear to be extensive, but cleanup and restoration can yield remarkable results. Whether it’s a piece of furniture, a family heirloom, an office computer, or a production machine, DFM has been restoring water damage structures and property for over 5 years.

- Identifying Type and Extent of Damage
- Evaluating The Loss - Category 1, Category 2, or Category 3 water is assessed during the evaluation stage, and the level of contamination is determined by determining what remains and what is removed based on these categories. The water split categories are as follows:
- Category 1 – It comes from a hygienic source, such as a broken water supply line, overflow from a tub or sink without contaminants, or rainwater.
- Category 2 –This type of water has high levels of bacteria from overflow/discharge from dishwashers and washing machines, overflow from the toilet bowl (some urine but no feces), or a broken aquarium.
- Category 3 – It is highly polluted and may contain harmful organisms, toxins or other contaminants; it can be caused by sewage, waste line backups or by flooding from sea water, rivers and streams.

Professional Dehumidification Services
When your home or business has been affected by flood damage, you may be tempted to attempt to water extract and clean up by yourself. However, this can only lead to further damage if you don’t have the right equipment and expertise.
Structural drying requires specialized water damage training, as well as specialized tools and equipment. It’s therefore essential to call in a qualified water removal service to ensure a complete recovery for your home or business.
At DFM, our technicians use moisture meters with our exclusive proprietary software to accurately measure the moisture content and extent of the water damage. Additionally, we monitor and document our drying process daily until we reach optimal drying standards.
By using advanced dehumidization equipment, we can remove moisture from the atmosphere and prevent secondary water damage caused by condensation. This allows us to achieve effective drying results while also eliminating environmental concerns.
From the moment the water reaches the property, the clock begins to tick, so it’s essential that you contact a trained emergency water extraction crew from DFM immediately.

When water enters your home or commercial property, you may be faced with water damage restoration.
What is water damage restoration?
The process of water damage restoration involves the removal of unwanted water, the drying and cleaning of structures and/or their contents, and the restoration of the property to the condition it was in before the water damage occurred.
Water damage restoration is carried out by professional water damage technicians who are licensed and certified to perform water damage restoration services in accordance with industry standards using appropriate techniques and tools.
It may not be possible to remain in a flooded building or business. Exposure to or ingestion of flood water can cause illness if the water is unclean. Also, standing water inside a building that was occupied can cause electrocution since appliances and electrical sockets can remain alive and charged.
Your home or business will be inspected and we will talk to you about the extent of the damage and how we can help get your property back to where it was before the loss. We will then use pumps and water extractors to get rid of the water that shouldn’t be there. Materials that can’t be restored will be removed. Once we get rid of the excess water, we use dryers and other special equipment to help get the area back to where it used to be before the loss. The drying process will be constantly monitored. We will clean and dry restorable contents as well as areas of your structure that need attention.
The amount of time it takes to dry out a structure varies depending on the extent of water damage and the type of structure. On average, drying out a structure typically takes 3-5 days. However, this can vary significantly depending on the amount of damage, the amount of contents damaged, any demolition work that may need to be done, and if there are any hazardous materials present.
Getting your home or business back to pre-loss humidity levels is a process that is carefully monitored. Our experts will make adjustments to your equipment to help get your area back to normal as quickly as possible.
DFM is now available to answer your water damage emergency. Our technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with emergency services available 24/7.

Water damage is one of the most serious of the water events. The water flowing through your house or business carries with it any contaminants it has come in contact with.
When there is water damage, electrical hazards are common. Do not enter the affected area until it is safe to do so.
If there is flood damage or contaminated water, anyone who comes in contact with it is at risk. It is hard to determine what is in the water, and it could contain chemicals, dirt, or bacteria. Structural damage to your property could also occur.
Water damage can also create a breeding ground for mold, which poses a risk to any occupants.
