Specialized Water Damage Services Charleston WV

Beyond standard water damage restoration, Charleston Water Damage Restoration offers specialized services for valuable and sensitive items that require expert handling and advanced restoration techniques.

Document Drying and Recovery

Water-damaged documents, books, and paper records can often be restored using specialized drying techniques. Our Charleston document recovery specialists use freeze-drying and vacuum thermal drying processes to salvage important papers, photographs, and books.

Specialized services may include sewage cleanup, fire damage restoration, and storm damage repair, all requiring unique expertise and equipment. For document restoration, we prioritize items based on their importance and restoration potential, focusing our efforts on irreplaceable documents first.

Electronics Restoration

Water-damaged electronics require immediate attention to prevent permanent damage from corrosion and short circuits. Our electronics restoration process includes disassembly, cleaning, and testing of computer equipment, televisions, audio systems, and other electronic devices.

We use ultrasonic cleaning and specialized drying chambers to remove moisture and contaminants from electronic components. While not all electronics can be restored, our process often saves valuable equipment that might otherwise be considered a total loss.

Artwork and Collectibles Recovery

Fine art, antiques, and collectibles require specialized handling and restoration techniques. Our Charleston team works with conservation specialists to develop appropriate treatment plans for valuable items affected by water damage.

These services often involve handling hazardous materials and require specific safety protocols to protect both our workers and your property's occupants. Different materials such as oil paintings, watercolors, sculptures, and textiles each require unique restoration approaches.

Textile and Clothing Restoration

Water-damaged clothing, drapes, and other textiles can often be restored through specialized cleaning processes. We evaluate each item based on fabric type, dye stability, and contamination level to determine the best restoration approach.

Our textile restoration includes dry cleaning, wet cleaning, and ozone treatment depending on the specific requirements of each item. Wedding dresses, formal wear, and other special garments receive individual attention and specialized care.

Content Pack-Out Services

When water damage is extensive, removing contents from the affected area may be necessary for both protection and cleaning access. Our content pack-out service includes careful inventory, packing, transportation, and storage of your belongings.

Our team is equipped to handle a wide range of complex restoration challenges, ensuring comprehensive solutions for all types of water damage scenarios in Charleston properties. Items are cleaned and restored at our specialized facility while restoration work continues at your property.

Emergency Board-Up and Tarping

When water damage results from storm damage or structural failures, emergency board-up and tarping services protect your Charleston property from further damage. We respond quickly to secure openings in roofs, walls, or windows.

Our emergency protection services include temporary roof repairs, window boarding, and structural stabilization. These measures prevent additional water intrusion and weather damage while permanent repairs are planned and executed.

Hardwood Floor Restoration

Water-damaged hardwood floors often can be restored rather than replaced through specialized drying and refinishing techniques. We use containment systems and gradual drying methods to minimize cupping, warping, and splitting.

Our hardwood restoration process includes moisture extraction, controlled drying, sanding, staining, and refinishing to return floors to their original beauty. This specialized service often saves thousands of dollars compared to complete floor replacement.
