Our 7-Step Emergency Flood Cleanup Process for Wheeling
1. Property-Wide Inspection
Our flood cleanup work starts with an immediate inspection of water-damage interiors, contents and belongings. We can also board up broken windows, shore up unstable structures and tarp damaged roofs.
2. Damage Assessment and Consultation
Next, we consult with you and outline our assessment of the flood damage to your home or business. We present you with our cleanup and restoration plan so that you know what to expect.
We’re happy to address your concerns and answer your questions.
3. Standing Water Extraction
Our powerful truck-mounted extraction equipment quickly removes standing water from crawlspaces and basements. We take care of residual water with specialized vacuuming equipment and set up heavy-duty dehumidifiers.
4. Advanced Structural Drying
As the dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from interior air, we run additional drying equipment throughout all flood-damaged areas. Our axial air blowers, industrial-grade air movers and hardwood floor drying systems run 24/7.
We closely monitor progress with moisture meters until all structural materials are completely dry.
5. Flood-Damaged Material Tear-Out
Unsalvageable materials are torn out to make way for remediation and reconstruction. For example, we remove buckled flooring, water-damaged ceilings and crumbing drywall.
We also clear out general debris, such as ruined carpets and soggy insulation. Everything is hauled away and disposed of, following all city demolition and recycling regulations.
6. Deep Cleaning and Mold Removal
Our remediation techniques prep interiors for final restoration. We begin this step by scrubbing all flood-damaged surfaces. Next, we sanitize, disinfect and deodorize all interiors.
Our technicians also remove and remediate mold with industry-certified products and techniques.
7. Complete Property Restoration
Our final work involves rebuilding, reconstructing and replacing floors, ceilings and walls. We take care of every detail, from trim to baseboards. With this last step, our teams completely restore your property to its pre-flood condition.
When we’re done, we invite you to perform a walk-through inspection. Your approval is our assurance that we’ve successfully restored your property, as well as your peace of mind.
