Restoration

Definition

Restoration refers to the process of returning a damaged property to its pre-loss condition after events like water damage, fire damage, or mold infestation. It encompasses both mitigation (stopping further damage) and reconstruction (repairing and rebuilding). Professional restoration follows industry standards set by organizations like IICRC and involves assessment, documentation, cleaning, drying, deodorization, and repairs. The goal is to restore the property as if the damage never occurred.
