Our 5-Step Water Damage Restoration Process
DETERMINE THE SOURCE
Our technicians pinpoint all sources of water with infrared cameras and determine the extent of damage with specialized moisture readers.
PLAN OF ACTION
We take the time to explain all plans of action, including cost estimates. If we have to remove baseboards, tear out drywall and dispose of wet insulation, you know in advance.
WATER EXTRACTION & DRYING
We remove water with a industry-proven water extraction equipment. After our pumps, vacuums and line truck mounts have done their job, we take care of the drying process.
SPECIALIZED CLEANUP AND SANITIZING
Once everything is dry, we begin cleanup. Surfaces and porous materials are sanitized with appropriate techniques and antimicrobial products. Carpets come back to life with deep steam cleaning, and air scrubbers restore a fresh atmosphere.
FINAL RESTORATION
Minor jobs can require replacing small areas of sheetrock. Large projects might include rebuilding floors and walls. Whatever it takes, we get you back on your feet by making sure that your property is as good as new.
