Water damage can affect:
Addressing the water source and affected materials is critical. But once damaged materials are removed, the property may still need to be repaired and reconstructed.
That’s where Summit’s general contracting capabilities become an important part of the restoration process.
One accountable contractor helping move the property from damage toward recovery.
Knowing where the water came from shapes the restoration scope, and helps keep the same problem from coming back.
Broken pipes, failed supply lines, plumbing fixtures and other plumbing-related water events.
Roofing deficiencies, flashing problems, penetrations, drainage conditions and storm-related roof damage.
Wind-driven rain and weather-related water intrusion affecting roofing, walls, windows and other portions of the building envelope.
Water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, HVAC equipment and other systems capable of releasing water into the property.
Roof drainage, exterior drainage and other conditions that can contribute to water accumulation or intrusion.
Larger water events affecting multiple rooms, floors or areas of a property.
Residential
Water damage in a home can quickly affect flooring, drywall, cabinetry, insulation, ceilings and other building materials.
Summit can help homeowners understand the affected areas, develop the restoration scope and complete the reconstruction required to put the property back together.
Commercial
Water damage in a commercial property can affect more than the building itself. It may disrupt employees, tenants, customers, inventory, equipment and normal business operations.
Summit can help commercial ownership evaluate the property, document affected areas, establish construction priorities and execute approved restoration and reconstruction work.
Evaluate the property, visible damage and potentially affected building areas.
Investigate the source and extent of the water intrusion where appropriate.
Create photographic and condition documentation of affected areas.
Address immediate conditions and complete appropriate restoration activities based on the project scope.
Repair and rebuild affected building components.
Document completed work and transition the restored areas back to the property owner.
Technology can provide additional information when evaluating water-related property damage. Depending on the project and conditions, Summit may incorporate:
Thermal imaging may help identify temperature anomalies that warrant further investigation.
Appropriate moisture-measurement methods may be used to evaluate materials and affected areas.
Photographic records can document affected areas and changing property conditions.
For commercial properties, roofing systems and difficult-to-access exterior areas, drone technology may assist with visual and thermal documentation.
Larger losses may benefit from organized documentation identifying affected areas and construction priorities.
Some water intrusion begins with the roofing system.
Summit’s roofing and Roof Asset Management capabilities allow us to investigate roof-related conditions when appropriate and, where the work falls within our scope, address both the source and resulting building damage.
Depending on the property, capabilities may include
The Summit Difference
After damaged materials are removed and affected areas are ready for reconstruction, the property still needs to be put back together.
Summit’s general contracting capabilities allow us to help complete the construction portion of the restoration process.
Where many water projects stop
Where Summit takes it
Depending on project scope, reconstruction may involve
For businesses and commercial properties, water damage is also an operational problem. Summit plans restoration and reconstruction work around how the property is used, so ownership can make decisions with the building, its occupants and the business in view.
Work sequenced to keep unaffected areas in use where possible.
Clear communication with tenants, staff and property management.
Affected areas organized into construction priorities ownership can act on.
Work areas managed around employees, customers and active operations.
Whether the water damage is in a home, a multifamily building or a commercial facility, Summit Building Group can help assess the affected areas and plan the path from restoration through reconstruction.
