Emergency Water Damage Restoration and Mitigation in Oregon
When an unexpected flood, burst pipe, or sewage backup occurs, time is your worst enemy. Within just 24 to 48 hours, excess moisture can lead to permanent structural damage, ruin your valuable contents, and trigger dangerous mold growth. Our certified technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to rapidly mobilize. We don’t just clean up the mess; we apply the science of psychrometry (the study of air, moisture, and temperature) to ensure your property is completely dry and safe, preventing costly long-term issues.
The Critical Stages of Water Damage and Biohazard Risk
Water damage is categorized based on the source of the water, which dictates the necessary cleanup and biohazard protocols. Olimpia Biohazard and Restoration is trained and equipped to handle all levels of water contamination.
Understanding Water Categories:
- Category 1 (Clean Water): Originates from a sanitary source (e.g., a broken water supply line or rainwater). While initially clean, it can quickly degrade to Category 2 if left untreated.
- Category 2 (Grey Water): Contains significant contamination (e.g., dishwater overflow, washing machine discharge). It can cause illness if ingested and requires professional handling.
- Category 3 (Black Water): Highly contaminated and grossly unsanitary (e.g., sewage backup, floodwaters from rivers/oceans). This water contains pathogens and toxins and is a severe biohazard requiring specialized containment and disposal.
Immediate action is required regardless of the category, but Black Water scenes necessitate full PPE, specialized disinfection, and regulated material removal.ure buyers—let our experts ensure the air and surfaces are safe.
Our IICRC-Certified Drying and Restoration Protocol
As IICRC-certified professionals, Olimpia Biohazard and Restoration utilizes the latest technology and scientific drying methods to guarantee complete moisture removal and structural integrity for properties throughout Oregon.
Final Moisture Verification: The job is not complete until every material has met the dry standard (pre-loss moisture content) verified by our advanced meters. This documentation is essential for your insurance claim.
Emergency Inspection and Assessment: We quickly determine the source of water, stop the flow, and accurately assess the damage and contamination level using moisture meters and infrared cameras.
Water Extraction: High-powered submersible pumps and commercial wet/dry vacuums are deployed for rapid water removal. Removing bulk water is the first and most critical step in mitigation.
Containment and Decontamination: For Category 2 or 3 water, we isolate the contaminated area and begin the disinfection process using broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold.
Structural Drying: This is where expertise matters. We strategically place industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and specialized drying equipment (such as floor mats or cavity injections) to pull trapped moisture out of drywall, subfloors, and insulation. We meticulously monitor temperature, humidity, and moisture content daily.
Contents Restoration: Salvageable items are assessed. We can clean, dry, and restore personal belongings, furniture, and documents. Non-salvageable structural materials are safely removed.
