Overview

What water damage restoration looks like with CRG.

Water damage is one of the most common types of property damage we encounter, and it requires immediate action to prevent secondary damage like mold growth and structural deterioration. Our water damage restoration team uses thermal imaging cameras, industrial-grade extractors, commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, and E3 drying techniques to locate, remove, and dry moisture, including hidden areas behind walls and under floors. We handle everything from Category 1 clean water losses to Category 3 contaminated water events, following IICRC S500 standards throughout the process.

Key benefits

Why owners and carriers pick this scope.

Stops loss from escalating

Fast extraction and structured drying prevent mold, warping, and microbial growth — the failures that turn a $20k loss into $200k.

Built for carrier review

Moisture logs, photos, T&M documentation, and detailed scopes help keep the review process moving.

One team to dry, then rebuild

Our mitigation crew and reconstruction division share one schedule — no second mobilization, no missing scope.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How quickly should water damage be addressed?

Extraction should begin the same day. The EPA notes microbial growth can begin within 24-48 hours of moisture exposure, so the faster standing water is removed and drying equipment is set, the smaller the loss. Our teams typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call.

How long does the full restoration take?

Structural drying under IICRC S500 runs about 3-5 days for Class 1-2 losses and 5-10 days or more for Class 3-4 losses or Category 3 (contaminated) water, which adds selective demolition, decontamination, and antimicrobial treatment. Drying ends when documented moisture readings hit the target dry standard — not on a fixed calendar. Reconstruction is scoped after clearance and can range from about a week for a single tenant space to 30-90+ days for multi-story or multi-building commercial losses.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes, we work directly with all major insurance carriers. We provide detailed documentation, Xactimate estimates, and direct communication with adjusters to streamline your claim.

Can you save water-damaged contents?

In many cases, yes. Our content restoration team can salvage furniture, documents, electronics, and personal items using specialized cleaning and drying techniques.
