The terms “water mitigation” and “water restoration” are often used interchangeably—but they refer to different parts of the recovery process. At AmeriDri, we provide both services to ensure your property is fully protected and restored.
What is Water Mitigation?
Water mitigation focuses on preventing further water damage:
- Removing standing water
- Boarding up compromised areas
- Drying out wet materials
- Containing affected areas to prevent spread
It’s the immediate response to stop the damage from worsening.
What is Water Restoration?
Restoration begins after mitigation and involves:
- Rebuilding damaged structures
- Replacing materials like drywall and flooring
- Cleaning and disinfecting affected areas
When Do You Need Each?
You’ll typically need both. Mitigation is your first defense, while restoration gets your property back to its original condition.
