Sarkinen Water Damage Restoration Pros Bring Order to Chaos

Sarkinen Restoration brings order back to the chaos of your home after water damage caused by flooding, leaky pipes and appliances, overflowing fixtures, or sewer/septic backups.

When Dealing with Water Damage, Time is of the Essence

If you have reached this page because of a current water damage emergency caused by an overflowing fixture or a leak, the first step you should take is to turn off the water to your house. If you don’t know where the most localized shutoff valve is (many toilets and sinks have one in the wall nearby), then find the main shutoff for your house. If you don’t know where that is, call us as soon as possible (that was the next step, anyway).

The longer you wait to begin the cleanup process, the more time water has to seep into places where it’s not supposed to be. This can ruin walls, flooring, furniture, carpets, ceilings, and be a source of mold if not dealt with immediately by caring pros with the tools and training to find the source of water intrusion, stop it, and completely deal with the damage – before it goes any further.

What do Water Damage Restoration Services Include?

Sarkinen Water Restoration takes care of everything from the cause of the water intrusion to the full cleanup and repair of the damage. But what does this mean? Here’s a breakdown of our services for our Tualatin water damage restoration clients.

  • Intrusion Stop
    Our first order of business is to make sure that the cause of the water entering your home or business is eliminated. Whether it’s a leak due to storms, a burst pipe, or a backed-up toilet or sewer, the problem must be dealt with at the source.
  • Water Extraction
    This is the initial phase of removing water from where it’s not supposed to be. We extract standing water through a variety of methods and ensure that it doesn’t spread any further.
  • Drying
    Structural wood, flooring, drywall, carpet, insulation, electrical – all these things are vulnerable through prolonged exposure to water. Our technicians use their technology and training to detect moisture, expose it, and get it out as quickly as possible to minimize its impact.
  • Odor and Stain Removal
    Dirty water – such as that from an overflowing toilet or backed-up septic system, can make a huge mess that won’t just come out with your vacuum, or even a good scrub. The dirtier the water source, the more care must be taken in this step. Carpets, upholstery, curtains, walls, and more will need to be thoroughly cleaned or replaced and treated to remove stains and smells. In the worst-case scenario, offending materials may need to be removed.
  • Mold Remediation
    Mold can quickly proliferate after flooding has occurred. A certified water damage technician will identify vulnerable areas and treat them to prevent the growth of mold or remove it as necessary (as in the case of a long-standing water damage issue).
  • Damage Repairs
    Sometimes in the process of mitigating water damage, carpeting and other flooring need to be pulled up or holes drilled in walls or the ceiling. Water can crumble drywall or warp wood and can swell particle board to the point where it needs to be replaced. Insulation in walls or ceilings may also need to be replaced. Our water damage service helps even with this part of the process – we don’t quit until our work is done, and your home or place of business is back to normal.

All of these services are performed according to industry-standard pricing and IICRC protocols so that we can work with your homeowner’s insurance company to do the job you need at the best price for you.

Flooding Damage Restoration for Tualatin, OR

Flooding in Tualatin, Oregon is a common struggle due to the often wet weather of the Pacific Northwest and may result from natural and man-made sources such as

  • Rainstorms
  • Hail storms
  • Snowmelt
  • Freeze breaks
  • Inadequate water protection in a basement
  • The draining of a neighbor’s above-ground pool
  • A hot tub leak
  • A leaky irrigation system
  • And more

Whatever the source, Sarkinen Restoration will handle the damage and provide you with a plan to prevent it from happening again.

Leak Damage Restoration

Leaks from within a home can produce the need for varying degrees of damage mitigation. If a leak comes from a clean source such as a clean-water pipe or a toilet tank (not bowl), then there is little risk of disease involved, and our water restoration technicians can focus simply on drying out the affected areas, leaving structures intact.

If, however, leaks come from a “gray water” source such as

  • Dishwashers
  • Washing machines
  • Non-potable water storage system
  • Drain pipes
  • Outside (e.g. rainwater)

Then a thorough cleaning and disinfecting will almost certainly be necessary, as well.

Tualatin Overflowing Fixture Water Damage Restoration

Common fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and bathtubs are prone to overflowing, especially when exposed to children (or childish adults) who cause clogs and leave the tap on. If your bathroom or kitchen floods and the mess seems beyond your ability to handle, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Sewer/Septic Backup Restoration

After flooding, one of the worst things imaginable when it comes to water damage is having your sewer line or septic system back up into your home. When this happens, “black water” – which is highly unsanitary and may cause disease unless property treater – may intrude into your house and quickly overwhelm your ability to deal with it. If this ever happens to you, there may be little you can do to stop it, and you will definitely want professional help in cleaning up and disposal of contaminated material. Give us a call as quickly as you can.

How do you know if you have a moisture problem in your house?

The initial phases of water damage repair can and should happen very quickly, within hours. However, the restoration may not be complete until days after the damage has occurred, depending on its extent.

How do you clean up water damage?

We use all the tools of the trade to repair the source of the damage and identify how far issues have spread. As we are going, we extract water and create the environment in which your property can most quickly dry out. After that, we begin the process of cleaning and repairing damage to your property.

Does homeowner's insurance cover water damage?

In many cases, yes. This depends on your policy and the source of the water. Our team will help you work with your insurance company to receive all the benefits you’re entitled to. In addition, we offer financing if, for some reason, your insurance doesn’t cover the incident.

How do you dry out water-damaged walls?

We have the equipment needed to dry out walls from within. Our procedure involves drilling tiny holes in the drywall to inject air into the walls. This promotes airflow and the evaporation of water as quickly as possible. If walls are not dried out, they are a likely target for mold growth.

How long does it take for mold to grow after a flood?

Mold can begin growing 1-2 days after flooding.
