After a water loss in your home or business, it is critical to extract as much water as possible and start drying affected areas. Water can move under flooring, behind walls, into insulation, and throughout structural materials. A surface that looks dry may still contain hidden moisture.
Our water and flood damage process may include:
The process begins with emergency response. Our experienced crew is standing by when you need help, day or night. Once onsite, we assess the water source, identify the extent of the damage, and begin mitigation. After mitigation is complete, Thompson Restoration Associates can also help with reconstruction services in Columbus and its nearby areas.
Water damage can happen suddenly or develop quietly over time. Some situations are obvious, such as standing water after a pipe bursts. Others may remain hidden until stains, odors, soft flooring, or mold appear.
Common causes include burst or frozen pipes, appliance malfunctions, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, sump pump failures, sewage backups, overflowing fixtures, and storm-related flooding. In Columbus, OH, freezing temperatures can create serious pipe risks during the winter, while heavy rain can overwhelm drainage systems or expose vulnerable areas around the property.
Thompson first determines the source of the water and the extent of the damage before beginning mitigation and repairs. If you notice water stains, musty odors, warped flooring, damp drywall, or unexplained moisture, schedule professional help before the damage spreads.
Sewage backups and overflows are often categorized as water losses, but they require a higher level of caution. Sewage may contain bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that can create serious health risks for your family, employees, or customers.
Because sewage losses are typically considered Category 3 water damage, cleanup should be handled by trained technicians with the right protective equipment, containment practices, and sanitizing procedures. Thompson’ sewage cleanup technicians take the necessary precautions to safely remove contamination, clean affected structures and contents, and restore damaged areas.
Do not attempt to clean sewage damage with household supplies. Contact Thompson for professional sewage cleanup and water damage restoration in Columbus, OH.
When a pipe bursts or breaks, a large amount of water can enter the property until the water main is shut off. Within minutes, flooring, drywall, cabinetry, ceilings, insulation, and personal belongings may be affected.
Thompson responds quickly to burst and frozen pipe emergencies. Our crew can begin extraction and drying while plumbing repairs are being completed, helping reduce the spread of damage.
Appliance and plumbing leaks can also be sudden or gradual. A broken water heater, dishwasher leak, washing machine overflow, or hidden supply line leak can damage surrounding materials and lead to moisture behind walls or under floors. Our team identifies affected areas, removes water, dries materials, and performs needed water damage repair.
Some water damage situations require immediate professional service, but there are safe steps you can take while waiting for the restoration team. Only proceed if the area is safe and the water is not contaminated.
You may be able to:
Do not use a household vacuum to remove water. Do not remove materials if sewage is present. Do not enter rooms with sagging ceilings or structural concerns. When in doubt, wait for trained professionals.
For significant water damage, calling a water damage restoration company quickly is the safest and most effective choice.
Water damage claims can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to protect your property and keep daily life or business operations moving. Thompson works directly with insurance companies and has decades of experience helping property owners navigate the claim process.
Our team can assist by documenting damage, preparing industry-standard estimates, communicating with your carrier, and following up as the project moves forward. While coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the damage, having an experienced restoration contractor involved early can help the process move more smoothly.
If you are unsure whether your water damage is covered, contact your insurance provider and call Thompson at (614) 831-1369 for inspection, documentation, and restoration support.
Water damage is not only a structural issue. Excess moisture can create conditions for mold growth, odor problems, and indoor air quality concerns. Wet drywall, insulation, carpet, wood, and contents can hold moisture long after visible water is gone.
Thompson provides related restoration services that may be needed after a water loss, including mold removal, deodorization, pack out, contents handling, reconstruction, remodeling, and commercial restoration. If fire damage, storm damage, or board-up services in areas like Chillicothe are also required, our full-service team can help coordinate the recovery.
Prompt drying, proper dehumidification, and professional moisture monitoring help reduce environmental risks and protect the property from avoidable secondary damage.
