Reconstruction

« Back to Glossary Index

Reconstruction is the final step in water damage repair where builders replace or fix materials that were too damaged to save (like drywall, flooring, or cabinets). It’s like giving your home a “fresh start” after a flood or leak!

Why it’s important:

  • Rebuilds structural strength (no more soggy walls!)
  • Restores your home to pre-damage condition
  • Includes safety upgrades (ex: mold-resistant drywall)

Common Jobs:
🔨 Replacing warped wood floors
🛠️ Installing new drywall (with moisture barriers!)
🎨 Repainting to match original colors

ExampleAfter the pipe burst, the team finished reconstruction by putting in new tiles and cabinets—you’d never know there was water damage!

⚠️ Key Rule: Reconstruction only happens after everything is 100% dry—or mold could grow inside the new materials!
