WATER DAMAGE RECONSTRUCTION

Water Damage Reconstruction In Tacoma & Olympia

When the drying is done, we put your home back together — floors, walls, cabinets and finishes — with the same team that knows what happened behind the wall.

RECONSTRUCTION

Putting Your Home Back Together After Water Damage

Water damage rarely ends with the water. By the time a burst pipe, a failed dishwasher line or a roof leak has been dealt with, there are usually flood-cut walls, lifted flooring, removed cabinets and a house that no longer feels like home. Reconstruction is the part that gives it back.

ProRevive Construction rebuilds homes after water damage across Tacoma, Olympia and the South Sound. Because we are the construction side of ProRevive Restoration, we can pick up exactly where drying ends — with the moisture readings, the photos and the insurance documentation already in hand — instead of starting from scratch with a contractor who has never seen the damage.

Our goal is simple: a rebuilt room that matches the rest of your house, or improves on it if you choose, and a process you understand from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

WHAT WE REBUILD

What Our Reconstruction Covers

If the structure is still wet, ProRevive Restoration handles extraction and drying first. We do not close a wall until the readings say it is dry.

FROM OUR JOB SITES

Real Photos From ProRevive Water Damage Jobs

These are our own photos from the stage before reconstruction: finding the water, opening the structure and proving it is dry. This is the work that makes a rebuild last.

Leak Investigation · Ceiling & Wall Reconstruction

ProRevive opened the affected ceiling to trace water along plumbing and wiring runs, identify the source of the damage, and create a clear path for drying and reconstruction.

Moisture Inspection
Thermal Imaging · Hidden Moisture Detection

ProRevive used thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment to identify hidden moisture inside walls and affected areas before beginning the restoration process.

Structural Drying
Water Damage · Drying & Contents Protection

With the ceiling opened and drying equipment running, ProRevive protected the contents and carefully controlled the affected area while the structure was brought back to a dry condition.

Flood Damage Restoration
Flood Cut · Wall Cavity Drying

ProRevive performed a controlled flood cut along the base of the wall, exposing the affected cavity so trapped moisture could be properly addressed before reconstruction.

Water Damage Inspection
Moisture Testing · Structural Verification

A moisture meter was used to verify that the affected floor framing had reached a dry condition, giving the ProRevive team the information needed before moving forward with reconstruction.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Step-By-Step Reconstruction Process

The same seven stages we have always followed, from the first inspection to handing your home back.

1. Assessment

We inspect the damage, check moisture levels with meters and thermal imaging, and photograph everything for your records and your insurer.

2. Emergency Services

If water is still present, ProRevive Restoration extracts it and dries the structure. Reconstruction starts only when the readings are normal.

3. Itemized Estimate

A line-by-line rebuild estimate, prepared in the detail adjusters expect, with any upgrades you ask for priced separately.

4. Design & Planning

Matching or choosing finishes, confirming the schedule and ordering materials so there are no gaps once work begins.

5. Demolition

Removing anything still damaged, down to sound, dry material — photographed so the scope is documented.

6. Interior Finishing

Framing, drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim and paint, built to match the rest of your home.

7. Final Walkthrough

We walk every room with you, finish the punch list and leave you with a complete record of the work.

INSURANCE CLAIMS

Working With Your Insurance Company

Most water damage reconstruction is paid for, at least in part, through a homeowner’s insurance claim. We work with all insurance providers, and we know what an adjuster needs to see: a clear record of the damage, a rebuild scope broken down line by line, and photos of hidden conditions as they are uncovered.

You stay in control of the claim. We will explain our estimate, answer your adjuster’s questions and keep you copied on everything we send. If your insurer’s approved scope differs from ours, we will walk you through the difference and what it means for your home, rather than quietly building less.

If you would like to use the rebuild as a chance to upgrade — better cabinets, a walk-in shower where the old tub was — we price that separately, so it is always clear which costs are covered and which are yours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does water damage reconstruction take?

It depends on how much was removed and on material lead times — a section of drywall and paint is very different from a full kitchen rebuild. Your written estimate includes a schedule, and we update it if anything changes.

In most cases you can choose your own contractor. Check your policy and ask your adjuster; we are happy to work alongside them either way.

Matching is part of the job. We identify existing materials where we can, source the closest match, and talk to you before work starts if an exact match is no longer made — sometimes the best answer is to carry a new floor through into the next room.

We photograph it, explain it and price it before doing anything further. For insurance jobs, we send the photos and a supplement to your adjuster.

Yes. We will ask for the drying records and take our own moisture readings before we close anything up.

Mold remediation is done by ProRevive Restoration before reconstruction begins. We rebuild once the area has been cleared.

Covington · Guest Bathroom Remodel

The Bathroom They Had Put Off for Years

A guest bathroom remodel in Covington — replacing an outdated tub and shower, updating the vanity, improving the lighting, and creating a cleaner, more comfortable space for everyday use and visiting guests.

“Honestly, We Haven’t Touched That Bathroom in Years”

Rachel called us in early March. She and her husband had lived in their Covington home for several years, and the guest bathroom had remained mostly unchanged.

The bathroom was functional, but it felt dated. The tub and shower combination took up much of the room, the vanity offered limited storage, and the lighting made the space feel darker than it needed to be.

They wanted a more practical walk-in shower, a brighter vanity area, and finishes that would make the bathroom feel fresh without making it look overly trendy.

“We didn’t need a bigger bathroom. We needed one that finally worked for us.”

— Rachel, Homeowner

What We Saw That You Didn't

The good news: the layout actually worked. The island was in the right spot, the work triangle between the range, sink, and fridge made sense. No walls coming down — that’s always a win for the budget. But a few things caught our eye right away, and we told her about all of them on the spot.

Issue 1

The Tub Was Taking Up Valuable Space

The existing tub was rarely used, so replacing it with a more practical shower created a better use of the available space.

Issue 2

The Vanity Area Needed More Light

The existing vanity didn’t provide enough storage or the lighting they wanted. We planned the new vanity and lighting together so the area would be more functional.

Issue 3

The Bathroom Needed a More Cohesive Look

The existing finishes had been installed at different times and no longer felt connected. The new tile, fixtures, vanity, and hardware were selected to work together as one design.

Demo Day. And the Surprise Nobody Wanted.

Once demolition began, we finally had a clear view of what was behind the existing finishes. The old shower and tub were removed, the vanity came out, and the walls and floor were opened where necessary. This is always the point where a remodeling project can reveal conditions that weren’t visible during the initial walkthrough.

We inspected the exposed areas carefully and checked the plumbing, framing, and substrate before moving forward. Fortunately, most of the existing conditions were workable.

There were a few areas that needed attention before the new finishes could go in, but nothing that changed the overall direction of the project. We documented what we found, talked through the work with Rachel and her husband, and kept the project moving.

THE PROJECT

Our Own Walkthrough Before the Inspector's

Before the bathroom was ready for final inspection, we conducted our own walkthrough. We checked the shower installation, tile work, grout lines, fixtures, vanity, mirrors, lighting, plumbing connections, and finished surfaces.

We ran the shower and checked the drain. We tested the faucets and looked underneath the vanity for any signs of leaks.Then we went through the room again — this time looking at the small details.

We found a minor finishing issue around one section of trim. It wasn’t a major problem, but it was something we wanted corrected before Rachel saw the finished bathroom.

We fixed it, completed the final cleanup, and prepared the space for the final inspection and handoff. The required inspection process was completed, and the bathroom was ready for the homeowners.

Handoff Day

Linsy came by on a Friday morning around 10. We’d asked her to stay off the job site for the last three days — we wanted the reveal to land all at once. She stood in the doorway for a solid ten seconds, just taking it in. Then she walked to the island, ran her hand across the quartz countertop — right where that old cracked tile used to be — and turned around to face us.

“You built what I had in my head but couldn’t explain,” she said. And then she cried. The good kind.

Dan had been standing a few steps behind her the whole time. He’s not a big talker. He just walked up and shook our hands. Firm grip. That was enough.

Gig Harbor · Primary Bathroom Remodel

The Bathroom They Finally Made Their Own

A primary bathroom remodel in Gig Harbor — replacing an outdated tub and shower, updating the vanity, improving the lighting, and creating a more comfortable space that finally matched the rest of the home.

“We’ve Been Talking About This Bathroom for Years”

Rachel called us in early March. She and her husband had been living in their Gig Harbor home for nearly nine years. They loved the house, loved the neighborhood, and had slowly updated most of the rooms over the years. The primary bathroom was the exception.

“It’s not terrible,” Rachel told us on the phone. “That’s almost the problem. We’ve just kept putting it off.”

A few days later, we were standing in the bathroom with her. The layout was still functional, but everything felt dated. The large soaking tub took up a significant portion of the room, the shower felt enclosed, the vanity didn’t provide as much storage as they wanted, and the lighting left the room feeling darker than it needed to be. 

Rachel wanted a bathroom that felt brighter and more open. Her husband wanted a better shower and a vanity with enough room for both of them to get ready without constantly being in each other’s way. Neither of them wanted anything overly complicated.

They wanted a comfortable, timeless bathroom that felt like it belonged in their home. We took measurements, reviewed the existing plumbing and electrical, looked at the layout, and started talking through what was worth changing — and what wasn’t.

“We didn’t need a bigger bathroom. We just needed to use the space better.”

— Rachel, Homeowner

What We Saw That You Didn't

The good news was that the existing bathroom had a workable layout. We didn’t need to completely change the footprint to make a noticeable difference. The bigger opportunity was improving how the existing space was being used.

Issue 1

The Tub Was Taking Up Too Much of the Room

The existing tub had become more of a visual obstacle than a feature. Rachel and her husband rarely used it, so replacing it with a more practical shower allowed us to open up the room and give the space a cleaner, more functional feel.

Issue 2

The Vanity Needed More Function

The existing vanity didn’t provide the storage or counter space they wanted. We planned a new vanity around how both homeowners actually used the bathroom, with better storage, a more generous countertop, and improved lighting around the mirrors.

Issue 3

The Lighting Made the Room Feel Dark

The bathroom had adequate lighting, but it wasn’t doing the room any favors. We wanted the finished space to feel brighter without making it harsh, so lighting became part of the overall design rather than something added at the very end.

Demo Day. And the Surprise Nobody Wanted.

Once demolition began, we finally had a clear view of what was behind the existing finishes. The old shower and tub were removed, the vanity came out, and the walls and floor were opened where necessary. This is always the point where a remodeling project can reveal conditions that weren’t visible during the initial walkthrough.

We inspected the exposed areas carefully and checked the plumbing, framing, and substrate before moving forward. Fortunately, most of the existing conditions were workable.

Handoff Day

Rachel and her husband walked into the finished bathroom and immediately noticed how different the space felt.

The old tub was gone. The new shower made the room feel more open, the vanity provided better storage, and the updated lighting made the entire bathroom brighter.

“It finally feels like a bathroom we actually want our guests to use.”

Bonney Lake · Guest Bathroom Remodel

The Tub Nobody Had Used in Years

A guest bathroom remodel in Bonney Lake — replacing an outdated tub and shower with a comfortable walk-in shower, a brighter vanity area, improved lighting, and finishes that finally felt at home with the rest of the house.

"Honestly, We Haven't Touched That Tub in Years"

Daniel called us in late February. He and his wife had been living in their home in Bonney Lake for nearly eight years. The house had everything they needed, but the upstairs bathroom had never really caught up with the rest of the home. The layout worked. The finishes didn’t.The bathroom still had the original tub/shower combination, a dated vanity, builder-grade lighting, and tile that made the room feel darker than it actually was.

“We’ve talked about changing it for years,” Daniel told us. “We just never wanted to start a project without knowing what we were getting into.”

His wife wanted a brighter, cleaner vanity area with better storage. Daniel wanted to replace the old tub with a walk-in shower that would be easier to use and better suited to the way they live now. Neither of them wanted a bathroom that looked overly trendy. They wanted something simple, comfortable, and consistent with the rest of their home.

We came out the following week, took measurements, looked at the existing plumbing and layout, and talked through what could stay and what made sense to change.

“We didn’t need a bigger bathroom. We needed one that finally worked for us.”
— Daniel, homeowner

What We Saw That You Didn't

The good news was that the existing layout gave us a solid starting point. There was no need to completely reconfigure the room. Instead, we could focus on the things that would make the biggest difference in how the bathroom looked and functioned.

Issue 1

The Tub Was Taking Up Valuable Space

The original tub/shower combination was no longer serving the way Daniel and his wife used the bathroom. Replacing it with a walk-in shower opened up the room visually and created a more comfortable everyday setup without requiring a larger footprint.

Issue 2

The Vanity Area Needed More Light

The existing lighting left the vanity feeling darker than it needed to be. Better lighting became an important part of the remodel, along with a new vanity and mirror that gave the space a cleaner, more finished appearance.

Issue 3

The Bathroom Needed a More Cohesive Look

The existing finishes came from different eras of the house. Rather than chasing a highly trendy design, we focused on a simple combination of materials, fixtures, lighting, and finishes that would feel current while still fitting naturally with the home.

Demo Day. And the Surprise Nobody Wanted.

Once demolition began, we could finally see what was happening behind the existing finishes. Removing the old tub, opening the walls, and exposing the plumbing gave us a much clearer picture of the existing conditions.

As with any remodeling project, this is where hidden conditions can sometimes change the plan.

We inspected the exposed areas carefully, documented what we found, and communicated any items that needed attention before moving forward. For Daniel and his wife, that meant knowing exactly what was happening rather than discovering unexpected work at the end of the project.

THE PROJECT

Our Own Walkthrough Before the Inspector's

Before calling the project complete, we conducted our own walkthrough. We checked the shower installation and tile work, inspected the vanity and fixtures, tested the lighting, ran the water, checked the drains, and looked closely at the finished details throughout the room.

We also went back through the areas that had been opened during demolition to make sure everything was properly completed before the final stage.

During our walkthrough, we found a small finishing detail that needed attention. It wasn’t something most people would notice immediately, but it was exactly the kind of detail we wanted to catch before handing the bathroom back to the homeowners.

We corrected it, completed the final cleanup, and prepared the space for inspection and handoff.The required inspection process was completed as part of the project, and the bathroom was ready for the homeowners to use.

Handoff Day

Daniel and his wife came by to see the finished bathroom.The first thing they noticed was how much brighter the room felt.

The old tub was gone. In its place was a clean walk-in shower with a more open feel. The new vanity provided better storage, while the updated lighting helped transform the entire room.Daniel walked around the bathroom for a few minutes, looking at the details.

Then he smiled: “This feels like it finally belongs in our house.”

That was exactly what we were aiming for.

Auburn · Full Kitchen Remodel

The Kitchen She Fell Back in Love With

A full kitchen transformation in Auburn — from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. We updated the finishes, improved the functionality, brought the electrical and ventilation work up to the requirements for the project, and uncovered an unexpected moisture issue along the way.

"I Just Want It to Feel Bright in Here"

Linsy called us in late October. Her voice was calm but a little tired — the kind of tired you hear from someone who has already talked to several contractors and still hasn’t found the right fit.

“I’m 62,” she told us. “The kids are grown. They’ve all moved out. It’s just me and Dan now. I just want to enjoy cooking in my own kitchen again. I just want it to feel bright.” Two days later, we were at her home in Auburn. It was a classic late-1990s house — comfortable, well lived-in, and a little tight around the kitchen. Linsy greeted us with coffee and walked straight over to the island.

“This is where I spend most of my time,” she said. “But honestly? Every morning when I walk in here, I feel a little sad.”

We understood immediately. The dark honey-stained cabinets made the room feel heavier than it needed to. The white appliances were approaching twenty years old. The tile floor showed years of use, and the grout had seen better days. Then there was the tiled island countertop. It had been practical once. Now it made the entire kitchen feel dated.

“Every morning when I walk in here, I feel a little sad.”

— Linsy, homeowner

What We Saw That You Didn't

The good news: the layout actually worked. The island was in the right spot, the work triangle between the range, sink, and fridge made sense. No walls coming down — that’s always a win for the budget. But a few things caught our eye right away, and we told her about all of them on the spot.

Issue 1

Electrical That Hadn’t Kept Up With Code

Some of the existing electrical components needed to be updated as part of the remodel. We reviewed the outlets and wiring that would be affected by the work and planned the necessary improvements around the current requirements for the project.

Issue 2

The Range Hood Was Just Recirculating Air

The existing over-the-range microwave was recirculating air back into the kitchen. Linsy wanted a proper range hood with exterior ventilation instead. That meant planning for new ductwork and coordinating the ventilation work with the rest of the remodel.

Issue 3

The Floor Transition Into the Living Room

The existing kitchen tile met the living room flooring at a visible transition point. Because the kitchen floor was being replaced, we wanted that connection to look intentional rather than treating it as an afterthought. Small details like transitions can make a surprisingly big difference in how finished a remodel feels.

Demo Day. And the Surprise Nobody Wanted.

There is always a little uncertainty once demolition begins. You can inspect a kitchen carefully before construction, but removing cabinets, countertops, and flooring can reveal conditions that simply weren’t visible beforehand.

Once we started opening things up, we discovered moisture damage beneath part of the old island countertop. It appeared to have come from an older sink leak that had been addressed previously, but some of the underlying material had still been affected.

Fortunately, the damage was limited. We stopped, documented what we found, and contacted Linsy that afternoon. We showed her the photos, explained what needed to be repaired, and provided the additional cost before moving forward.

She took a moment and then said: “Good thing you found it. Go ahead.”

That’s what a remodeling relationship should look like.No surprises hidden until the final invoice. No guessing. Just a clear conversation about what we found and what needed to happen next.

THE PROJECT

Our Own Walkthrough Before the Inspector's

Linsy came by on a Friday morning. We had asked her to stay away from the kitchen during the final stage so she could experience the finished space all at once.

She stood in the doorway for a few seconds without saying anything. Then she walked toward the island and ran her hand across the new quartz countertop — right where that old tiled surface had been. She turned toward us.

“You built what I had in my head but couldn’t explain.”

And then she cried. The good kind. Dan had been standing a few steps behind her. He didn’t say much. He simply walked over and shook our hands. Sometimes that’s all you need to know.

Handoff Day

Linsy came by on a Friday morning around 10. We’d asked her to stay off the job site for the last three days — we wanted the reveal to land all at once. She stood in the doorway for a solid ten seconds, just taking it in. Then she walked to the island, ran her hand across the quartz countertop — right where that old cracked tile used to be — and turned around to face us.

“You built what I had in my head but couldn’t explain,” she said. And then she cried. The good kind.

Dan had been standing a few steps behind her the whole time. He’s not a big talker. He just walked up and shook our hands. Firm grip. That was enough.
