Question 18

What's the difference between water mitigation and water restoration?

Mitigation is the emergency phase — stopping the water source, extracting standing water, and preventing further damage. Restoration is the rebuild phase — repairing drywall, flooring, and returning your property to pre-loss condition. Moisture Pro handles both.

Question 19

Can I stay in my home during water damage restoration?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the severity. Minor water damage in one room usually allows you to stay. Major flooding, sewage backups, or extensive mold may require temporary relocation. We'll assess your situation and help coordinate with your insurance for additional living expenses if needed.

Accepted Answer
