TotalRestore Solutions — Certified Water Damage Experts. A complete response, from extraction and drying through the repair of every affected area.
Water damage restoration covers the full arc of a water event — from the moment it happens to the point where every affected area is repaired and livable again. It's a broader job than extraction or drying on their own, since it also means evaluating structural materials, addressing damaged finishes, and coordinating the repair work needed to close things out. TotalRestore Solutions has guided property owners across Scott, LA through this entire process for 15 years.
We start with an inspection to understand the scope of the damage — which rooms are affected, what materials took on water, and whether the source was clean water, grey water, or something contaminated. That assessment drives every decision from there, including which materials can be dried where they sit and which need to come out entirely.
Once extraction and drying wrap up, we turn to the materials that didn't make it. Baseboards, drywall, flooring, and insulation that absorbed more water than could be salvaged get documented and removed, and repair work is scheduled to bring the space back to where it was. We keep property owners in the loop throughout this stage about what's being replaced and why, so nothing comes as a surprise once work is underway.
Because restoration spans multiple stages, sequencing and communication matter just as much as the technical work. Our team coordinates extraction, drying, cleaning, and repair so each stage sets up the next instead of undoing it — which is exactly how you avoid the common mistake of repairing over materials that weren't actually dry.
Extraction, drying, cleaning and repair are managed together, not as separate handoffs.
An upfront inspection sets clear expectations for what's salvageable and what isn't.
Damaged materials are documented and explained before anything is removed.
Deep local experience with residential and light commercial properties alike.
Determine the scope of damage along with the source and category of water.
Remove standing water and dry every affected material completely.
Remove flooring, drywall or insulation that can't reasonably be saved.
Finish repair work to bring the space back to its original condition.
Extraction is one piece of the larger restoration process. Restoration covers everything — removing water, drying, cleaning, and repairing whatever was damaged.
Not necessarily. Materials dried quickly without excessive absorption can often be saved, while materials exposed longer are more likely to need replacement.
It depends on the extent of the damage, but drying usually takes several days, with repairs scheduled once moisture levels are confirmed back to normal.
