How It Works
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Every water loss is different, but a clear process helps reduce confusion during a stressful time. 1st Call Disaster Services follows a structured approach from the initial inspection through final repairs.
Assessment and Inspection
We start with a detailed inspection to determine the extent of water damage. This may include checking flooring, walls, ceilings, baseboards, cabinets, and other affected areas. Our team also looks for hidden moisture that may not be visible on the surface.
Water Extraction
Standing water must be removed quickly to limit damage. We use professional extraction equipment to remove water from affected areas and reduce additional saturation.
Drying and Dehumidification
After extraction, we use industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure. This step is critical because materials can remain damp even after the space appears dry.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Water damage can leave behind contaminants, odors, and debris. We clean and sanitize affected areas to support a safer indoor environment and reduce the risk of secondary damage.
Restoration and Repairs
The final stage involves restoring damaged materials. Depending on the situation, this may include repairs to walls, flooring, ceilings, trim, or other parts of the property.

Homes & Businesses
Water Damage Repair for Homes and Businesses
Water damage repair involves more than drying out the property. Depending on the source and severity of the damage, your home or business may need structural repairs, material replacement, odor removal, and contents restoration.
Common situations we handle include basement flooding, broken or leaking pipes, overflowing toilets or tubs, appliance leaks, storm-related water intrusion, roof leaks, and commercial water damage. Some properties may even require roof repair in Cincinnati, depending on the assessed damage.
For business owners, water damage can interrupt operations and create safety concerns. For homeowners, it can disrupt daily life and put important belongings at risk. Our goal is to limit damage, restore affected areas, and help get your property back to normal with as little disruption as possible.

Professional water damage restoration in Cincinnati requires more than towels, fans, and a wet/dry vacuum. 1st Call Disaster Services uses advanced technology to locate moisture, monitor drying progress, and support a thorough restoration process.
Our equipment may include thermal imaging cameras to help detect hidden moisture, moisture meters to measure moisture levels in building materials, high-efficiency dehumidifiers, air movers, and extraction equipment.
This technology helps our team make informed decisions throughout the job. It also helps reduce the chance of overlooked moisture that can lead to future damage.

While You Wait
DIY Steps to Take While Waiting for Help
Some water damage situations require immediate professional service, especially if the water may be contaminated, the damage is widespread, or electricity is involved. However, there are a few safe steps you can take while waiting for help.
Important: Avoid entering standing water if outlets, wiring, or electrical panels may be affected. If the water came from sewage, floodwater, or another contaminated source, wait for trained professionals.
If it is safe to do so:
- Stop the water source, such as shutting off the main water supply.
- Avoid rooms where electrical hazards may be present.
- Move small valuables, documents, and dry belongings away from the affected area.
- Take photos or videos for insurance documentation.
- Do not use household fans if there is possible contamination.
- Stay out of areas with sagging ceilings or structural concerns.
Insurance and Documentation Support
Water damage often leads to insurance questions. What caused the loss? What materials were affected? What needs to be dried, cleaned, removed, or repaired? Detailed documentation can help make the claims process more organized.
1st Call Disaster Services can help document affected areas, the work performed, and the drying process. This may include photos, moisture readings, scope details, and other information that may be useful during your claim.
Because coverage depends on your policy and the cause of damage, contact your insurance provider directly. Our team can coordinate restoration work and provide clear information about the damage we observe and the services completed.

Environmental and Health Considerations After Water Damage
Water damage can create environmental and indoor air quality concerns if not handled properly. Excess moisture may lead to mold growth, bacteria, odors, and damage to porous materials. Contaminated water can also introduce health risks, especially when it comes from sewage backups, floodwater, or water that has passed through building materials.
Our team focuses on safe water removal, proper drying, cleaning, sanitizing, and odor treatment. When water damage overlaps with other concerns, 1st Call Disaster Services can also assist with related restoration needs such as mold remediation in areas like Erlanger, and even biohazard cleanup, content cleaning, storm damage restoration, fire damage restoration, soot and smoke damage restoration, animal damage repair, and asbestos or lead testing and removal when applicable.
If water damage has affected your property, do not wait for odors or mold concerns to become worse. Schedule professional service as soon as possible.
