Our Water Damage Restoration Process

inspection

Assessment and Inspection

Our water damage restoration in New Jersey begins with a thorough inspection to evaluate the extent of damage. We use advanced moisture detection tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to identify both visible and hidden issues, including water trapped behind walls, under floors, and in ceiling cavities.

What we check: Moisture levels, structural integrity, contamination levels, and potential safety hazards.

water removal

Water Removal and Extraction

Our powerful truck-mounted and portable extraction systems efficiently remove standing water from your New Jersey property—whether it’s in your basement, living room, or crawl space. Fast water removal prevents further damage to floors, walls, and belongings, helping to minimize overall repair costs and reduce restoration time.

Equipment we use: Truck-mounted extractors, submersible pumps, wet vacuums, and specialized water removal tools.

Drying And Dehumidification

Drying and Dehumidification

After extracting water, we utilize professional-grade dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to thoroughly dry all affected areas. This crucial step prevents mold growth and safeguards your property’s structural integrity. We monitor moisture levels daily until readings return to normal, dry conditions—typically 3-5 days depending on damage extent.

Why this matters: Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours in damp conditions. Complete drying eliminates this risk and protects your family’s health.

Cleaning And Sanitization

Cleaning And Sanitization

Water damage can introduce harmful bacteria, sewage contaminants, and other health hazards into your home. Our team thoroughly cleans and sanitizes all affected areas using EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments and hospital-grade disinfectants, ensuring a safe environment for your family. We also provide professional deodorization services to eliminate musty odors and restore fresh air quality.

We sanitize: Hard surfaces, carpets, upholstery, air ducts (if needed), and any salvageable belongings.

Restoration And Repairs

Replace Damaged Materials

For areas that sustain significant damage—like warped flooring, damaged drywall, or compromised structural elements—we coordinate all necessary repairs to restore your property to its pre-damage condition. We work with licensed contractors in New Jersey and handle everything from minor repairs to complete room reconstruction. We also work directly with your homeowner’s insurance company, providing detailed documentation and estimates to support your claim.

Services include: Drywall replacement, flooring repair/replacement, carpet restoration, painting, structural repairs, and full room reconstruction if needed.

final inspection

Final Inspection

We conduct a detailed final inspection to ensure all water damage restoration work in New Jersey meets our high standards—and yours. We verify that all areas are completely dry, properly repaired, and safe for occupancy.

We just had a sewer back up that made our house uninhabitable. We were connected to Project manager Jade Puia who came right out and did a quick evaluation of our situation and handled all the details professionally, getting the resources lined up to remediate the problem. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and gave us great confidence that the issues will be resolved soon! Thanks for reassuring this very stressed out homeowner!

They were recommended by our plumber after a clogged sewer line with it backing up and emptying out into our backyard through a vent in the foundation. They cleaned up the mess outside beautifully, and cleaned, disinfected, and dried out the basement from having the plumber in. The crew that came in were friendly, did everything quickly and professionally. Dan was amazing to work with, he was very responsive and helped us with everything, down to dealing with our homeowners insurance. I cannot reccomend Kraus enough, they definitely made the whole process so much easier! Thank you so much, if we ever have another issue we will be calling!
