Water Damage Restoration
Understanding Water Damage & How to Fix It
Water damage can be devastating, whether from a burst pipe, storm flooding, or slow leaks. If left untreated, it can lead to structural weakening, mold growth, and long-term property damage. At Gear Construction, we specialize in fast, effective water damage mitigation and restoration, ensuring your home is thoroughly dried, repaired, and protected against future issues.
Common Causes of Water Damage
✔️ Plumbing Leaks & Pipe Bursts – Aging pipes, freezing temperatures, or pressure buildup can cause sudden bursts, leading to flooding.
✔️ Storm & Flooding Damage – Heavy rainfall, clogged gutters, or drainage issues can push water into basements and crawl spaces.
✔️ Roof Leaks – Missing shingles or damaged flashing allow water to seep into ceilings, walls, and insulation.
✔️ Appliance Malfunctions – Dishwashers, water heaters, and washing machines can leak, causing gradual damage over time.
✔️ Sewage Backups – Blocked sewer lines can push wastewater back into your home, requiring specialized cleaning and sanitation.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
1️⃣ Immediate Water Extraction: Using high-powered pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water from affected areas.
2️⃣ Moisture Detection & Drying: We use thermal imaging and industrial dehumidifiers to ensure all hidden moisture is eliminated, preventing long-term damage.
3️⃣ Mold Prevention & Remediation: Antimicrobial treatments are applied to stop mold before it starts, and any compromised materials are removed to ensure a healthy living environment.
4️⃣ Structural Repairs: Water can warp floors, rot wood, and weaken drywall—we repair and replace damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, and structural materials as needed.
5️⃣ Final Sanitization & Restoration: We deep-clean, repaint, and restore surfaces, ensuring your home looks and feels fresh, safe, and like-new.
How to Prevent & Minimize Water Damage
✅ Act Fast: The first 24-48 hours are critical. The longer water sits, the worse the damage gets.
✅ Know Your Water Shut-Off Valve: Shutting off the main water supply can prevent major flooding.
✅ Fix Leaks Immediately: Even small drips from pipes, roofs, or windows can lead to hidden structural damage.
✅ Improve Drainage Around Your Home: Keep gutters clean and ensure water flows away from your foundation.
✅ Invest in a Sump Pump: If you have a basement, a sump pump can prevent major flooding during storms.
At Gear Construction, we provide fast, professional, and thorough water damage restoration services. Whether you have a minor leak or major flooding, we’re here to help you get your home back to safe, dry, and livable condition.

Smoke can seep into walls, ductwork, and upholstery, causing long-term odor problems. We use air scrubbers, thermal fogging, and ozone treatments to completely neutralize lingering smoke smells.

Understanding Fire & Smoke Damage

🚧 Structural & Foundation Repairs
Structural & Foundation Repairs, Rennovation and Restoration
Protecting Your Home from Foundation & Structural Issues
A strong foundation and stable structure are the backbone of a safe home. Over time, soil movement, water damage, poor construction, or aging materials can cause cracks, sagging floors, uneven settling, and compromised support beams. Ignoring these issues can lead to serious structural risks, decreased property value, and costly repairs down the road. At Gear Construction, we provide expert structural and foundation repair services, ensuring your home remains safe, stable, and built to last.
Common Structural & Foundation Issues
✔️ Foundation Cracks & Settling – Shifting soil and moisture changes can cause cracks, sinking, and instability.
✔️ Uneven or Sagging Floors – A weakened foundation, failing floor joists, or structural shifting can create noticeable dips and slopes.
✔️ Wall Cracks & Bowing Walls – Exterior and interior walls can crack, bulge, or lean due to foundation movement or excessive pressure.
✔️ Basement Water Intrusion – Poor drainage, cracks, and hydrostatic pressure can lead to flooding, mold, and foundation weakening.
✔️ Compromised Load-Bearing Beams – Rotted, cracked, or undersized beams threaten the integrity of upper floors and roofs.
✔️ Chimney & Masonry Shifting – A sinking foundation can cause leaning chimneys, cracked bricks, and loose mortar.
Our Structural & Foundation Repair Process
1️⃣ Comprehensive Inspection & Damage Assessment:
We start with a detailed evaluation, using advanced tools to identify weaknesses, cracks, and movement affecting your home’s foundation or structural integrity.
2️⃣ Foundation Stabilization & Repair:
Depending on the severity, we use reinforcement methods like helical piers, push piers, slab jacking, or concrete underpinning to stabilize and level the foundation.
3️⃣ Wall & Floor Reinforcement:
To correct bowing walls, sagging floors, or shifting framing, we install steel braces, carbon fiber straps, or sistered beams for long-term support.
4️⃣ Waterproofing & Drainage Solutions:
To prevent future water damage, we provide exterior waterproofing, French drains, sump pumps, and grading improvements to redirect water away from the foundation.
5️⃣ Structural Rebuilding & Final Repairs:
We repair or replace load-bearing walls, support columns, concrete slabs, and joists, ensuring your home’s structure is strong and reliable.
Signs You Need Structural or Foundation Repairs
🚧 Cracks in Walls, Ceilings, or Floors – Growing or widening cracks are a warning sign of foundation shifting or structural movement.
🚧 Doors & Windows Sticking or Misaligned – If doors and windows suddenly become hard to open or close, your home may be settling unevenly.
🚧 Uneven or Sloping Floors – A noticeable tilt in your floors suggests joist failure or foundation movement.
