Water Damage Assessment in Niagara Falls

An assessment establishes the facts before any equipment goes out: the water source, the affected footprint, the material condition and the water category.

The exact sequence depends on the water source, the affected materials and the extent of the damage at your property.

Materials commonly affected

  • All wall, floor and ceiling assemblies in the affected zone
  • Insulation and cavity components
  • Cabinetry, millwork and built-ins
  • Structural framing and slab

Why prompt action matters

  • Scope decisions made without readings tend to be wrong in one direction or the other.
  • Early documentation supports the claims process.
