Water Damage Cleanup – Master Certified. Client Focused.
We can recall the focus of the water damage cleanup and restoration industry of nearly two decades ago. Remembering when the customer came first, and quality workmanship meant going home proud of a day’s work. Attention to detail mattered and focus on making sure to say thank you for the opportunity meant that the business was on the right path to longevity and success in a local market.
Taking a step back and watching the industry as whole take a turn instead towards making a bigger profit by cutting back on performing service properly, without regard to the client, their home or business.
Instead of investing in better technology, it became about setting as much equipment as possible, about getting out of a project quickly to move on to the next one in constant pursuit of more money and less thought to the fact that one water damage cleanup project performed successfully, with a satisfied client will be worth more than ten unsatisfied ones.
We’ve set out to Change That…

Renewed Standards in Restoration
With the understanding that our company alone may never change the entire restoration industry. Many of our team members and associates have decades of experience in water damage cleanup and each have made a pact that in the development of iDry Columbus, and in the services we offer to every client, that a renewed standard would be created and used as the approach on every claim.; even if that standard would only apply to the water damage cleanup or property claims that we were involved in.
In making the decision to not enroll in or join “preferred vendor” relationships where the relationship becomes a carrier/vendor one instead of client/vendor due to rate discounts and the reliance on the possibility of future property damage claims; we’ve taken back the control and returned it to the client, where it should have always been.

Water Damage Cleanup Checklist: Leave No Stone Unturned
Regardless of the cause, water infiltrating your house is a huge hassle. Up from the drains, through a crack in your basement wall, or via a damaged room, it is a headache you don’t need.
But once you have found water in your home, what do you do? Are you familiar with water damage cleanup?
Don’t be caught with your pants down! Know what to do if you find yourself standing in water where it does not belong.
The below guide is a great place to start. We will take you through the basic steps in cleaning up water damage.
Safety First
Before the cleanup starts, ensure the area you’re cleaning up is safe. Look for structural damage, if applicable, and make sure your electricity to the area shut off. Are there fire hazards or gas leaks present?
If you cannot be certain that you can handle any of these items: STOP! Call a professional immediately.
If you are certain that it is safe to work in the area, wear sturdy shoes, rubber gloves, and eye protection. If water has been sitting, or you are working in an area that has had mold issues before, wear a respirator.
Additional recommendations:
- Never mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or vinegar.
- Be watchful for fire ants, snakes, or other animals.
Inspecting the Water Damage
Once your safety is certain, it is time to look at where and what the damage is. Your first mission: get the area dry.
Flooring, especially, is a sticky wicket to handle after removing the water. You will have to evaluate options to discover if you can save it.
If water has reached the walls, or come through them, you must ventilate them as fast as possible. Water mold, once in the walls, can create more issues well past the initial flood damage.
Remove any damaged wall or baseboard material at least 2 inches above where the damage stops. Your aim is to keep any mold growth from starting.
Furniture & Appliances
Whether you can save it or not, remove and handle furniture separately. You can find a guide on taking care of your furniture here.
Electrical appliances are another issue altogether. First, ensure they are safe to handle for removal.
Next, you have to evaluate if they are good for continued use. Check out this handy guide for further advice.
Mold, the Continuing Struggle of Water Damage Cleanup
After prolonged exposure to water, you have weeks and month of preventive work to do. What’s next?
Air circulation is the first line of defense. Dehumidifying the air is a must as the evaporating water needs to somewhere to go.
If you don’t have access to air conditioning, open your doors and windows. Use a fan to enhance circulation.
If any items begin to mildew, take them outside for cleaning or disposal. The sun is a great cleanser and enhances drying.
Bring in the Professionals
While minor water damage cleanup is pretty easy to handle, if you have a major leak or standing water, you need help. Even if you are handy, there is much to gain from those with expertise in dealing with water damage.
