Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Canandaigua

Water damage restoration in Canandaigua reaches every part of the city, and our local pros handle all of it. An Ontario County city at the head of a long finger lake, where the lake's level rather than any storm decides what the outlet through town carries.

Housing stock

Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 79.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1962. Four fifths predates 1990, on stone and early poured cellars in a compact street pattern laid out around the lakehead. The ground falls gently toward the water from three sides.

Climate and water risk

July is the wettest month here at 4.06 inches, part of an annual 35.19 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from CANANDAIGUA 3 S, 3 miles off. July leads at four inches within thirty-five for the year, a modest figure. What governs the outlet is how full the lake already is rather than the last few hours of weather.

Common water damage problems in Canandaigua

  • A lake upstream whose level sets what the outlet through town has to carry
  • Ground falling gently toward the water from several directions at once
  • Cellars from a period before relief drainage was part of any specification
  • Deep frost and thaw working masonry joints a little further open each winter

Frequently asked questions

The outlet is running high and there has been no storm.

What it carries depends on how full the lake behind it is rather than on the last few hours of weather. A wet month across the whole catchment raises that lake, and the outlet then runs high for a long stretch afterward. It is why levels here persist rather than spiking, and why the lake's own level is the more informative number to follow.

Cracks appear in the cellar wall every spring.

Frost is the usual cause on stone and early poured walls. Water in the soil beside them freezes, expands and pushes, and the wall gives a little where it can without fully returning when the thaw comes. That is why the change shows in March rather than during a storm. Keeping that ground drier through autumn does more for the wall than anything done in spring.

The ground falls toward the water from every direction here.

It does, gently, which means a property near the lakehead receives what a considerable area above it sheds without any of it being obvious as flow. Water arrives as a broad thin film rather than in channels, so there is nothing to see until it meets a wall. A shallow interception across the ground above a building is what turns it aside.
