The service timeline
How our water damage restoration process works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Call and dispatch
You call (833) 321-7153 and speak to a real person. We ask what happened, how long the water has been running, and whether the source is stopped. We dispatch a technician immediately and give you a realistic arrival window. Most Bonita calls get a truck on site within 60 to 90 minutes.
Inspection and moisture mapping
On arrival, we use a moisture meter, hygrometer, and thermal imaging camera to find where the water went. We check behind baseboards, under subflooring, and inside wall cavities. You get a clear explanation of what is wet and what it will take to dry it before any work begins.
Water extraction
We pull standing water with a water extraction unit and truck-mounted rapid water extraction. For carpet and pad, we use weighted extraction to get water out of the backing. This step usually takes one to three hours depending on how much water is present.
Drying and monitoring

Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use for water damage restoration
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture meter and hygrometer
We use a moisture meter to measure moisture content in drywall, wood, and concrete. A hygrometer measures relative humidity in the air. Both help us confirm when materials are dry.
Thermal imaging camera
A thermal imaging camera shows temperature differences behind walls and under floors, helping us find hidden water without tearing into finished surfaces.
Water extraction unit
We use truck-mounted and portable water extraction units to pull standing water from carpet, pad, and hard surfaces. Rapid water extraction reduces drying time.
Air movers and dehumidifiers
Air movers circulate air to speed evaporation. Dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. We use Dri-Eaz and Phoenix Restoration Equipment units for reliable drying.
Desiccant dehumidifier
Desiccant dehumidifiers work well in cool, tight spaces like crawl spaces. They pull moisture out of the air using a desiccant material.
Negative air machine and HEPA vacuum
We use a negative air machine to contain mold spores during remediation. A HEPA vacuum captures fine particles and spores from surfaces.
Ozone generator
An ozone generator removes smoke and musty odors after water damage or fire. We use it only in unoccupied spaces and follow safety protocols.
