- Musty smell that was not there before

OUR PROCESS
From Call to Cleanup
Emergency
Call
Call (614) 517-1124 any time. A Bedrock team member answers, gathers details, and dispatches a certified technician immediately.
Inspect
and Assess
We arrive within 1 hour with thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters. We identify the water source, classify the water category (clean, gray, or black), and map the full scope of damage.
Extract
and Dry
Our crew removes standing water with truck-mounted and portable extractors. We deploy industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, monitor moisture levels daily, and adjust equipment as conditions change. Most residential water losses dry within three to five days under normal conditions.
Restore
and Rebuild
Once your property is dry and verified, our general contracting team handles all repairs. Drywall, flooring, trim, paint, structural framing. Whatever it takes to return your home to pre-loss condition. One company from start to finish.
UNDERSTANDING WATER DAMAGE
The Three Categories of Water Damage
Not all water damage is the same. The category determines how we handle extraction, drying, and decontamination.
Category 1: Clean Water Water from a sanitary source that does not pose a significant health risk. Examples include a broken supply line to a dishwasher, a leaking faucet, or a toilet tank overflow (no contamination). Standard extraction and drying procedures apply.
Category 2: Gray Water Water that contains significant contamination and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Examples include washing machine overflow, dishwasher leaks with detergent, or HVAC condensate. Requires antimicrobial treatment in addition to extraction and drying.
Category 3: Black Water Grossly contaminated water that poses serious health risks. Examples include sewage backups, flooding from rivers or storm drains, and any standing water that has been stagnant for over 48 hours. Requires full PPE, professional decontamination, antimicrobial treatment, and potentially removal of all porous materials. Children, elderly residents, and anyone with a compromised immune system should vacate the property until restoration is complete.
Bedrock handles all three categories. We classify the water source on arrival so you understand exactly what you are dealing with and what the restoration process requires.
Why Water Damage Hits Columbus Ohio Homes Hard
Spring thaw flooding (March through May). When frost lines running 42 to 60 inches deep finally thaw, groundwater surges into basements through foundation cracks, floor drains, and failed sump pumps. This is the busiest time of year for water damage calls.
Ice dams (December through February). When heat escapes through the roof and melts snow from the underside, water refreezes at the eaves and backs up under shingles. The result is water infiltration into attics, ceilings, and walls that often goes undetected for weeks.
Burst pipes (January through March). Temperatures can regularly drop pretty rapidly. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated areas freeze and burst, flooding finished basements and lower levels.
Summer storms (June through August). Heavy rain overwhelms storm drains and sewer systems. Basement flooding from sewer backups and window well failures spikes during severe thunderstorms.
If you have experienced any of these, call (614) 517-1124. We have handled hundreds of these exact situations across Columbus.
