The Water Removal Process:

Initially, our technicians prioritize removing damaged materials, deciding whether restoration or disposal is necessary. This includes baseboards, insulation, furniture, upholstery, carpets, fragile wood, and drywall.

Once the damaged items are cleared, we proceed to dry out the water and disinfect the affected areas using specialized tools such as air movers and dehumidifiers. Mold damage is also addressed promptly during the water damage restoration process to prevent further spread.

Emergency Water Extraction

We swiftly remove standing water using high-grade equipment strategically placed for maximum efficiency.

Immediate water removal is initiated with our advanced pumping machines, followed by the removal and storage or disposal of affected belongings and structures. Upon completion, our technicians remove the equipment and properly dispose of the water.

Drying & Dehumidification

Identified areas are isolated and prepared for thorough drying and dehumidification, which may require the removal of belongings and upholstery for a comprehensive process.

Our local technicians position air-moving machines strategically to focus on moisture-laden areas, facilitating the extraction of trapped water. Water extracted is disposed of by our technicians in a suitable location, and moisture levels are continually monitored until normalization.

Carpet Restoration

We employ a specialized process to restore damaged carpets to their pre-loss condition, beginning with identifying the water damage source.

If salvageable, remaining water is extracted, and high-grade air-moving fans are used to prevent mold growth by removing moisture.

Throughout the drying process, our technicians keep you and your insurance agent updated. Once dry, all equipment is removed, and belongings are returned to their original positions.

Carpet Cleaning, Deodorization & Spot Removal

Water-damaged carpets are susceptible to mildew formation, causing unpleasant odors. We address this with thorough cleaning, deodorization, and spot removal.

Our technicians start with a comprehensive inspection and vacuuming of your carpet, followed by furniture removal for carpet repair. Spot and pet odor treatments are administered if necessary, and fiber or textile protection options are available for carpet preservation.

Water Damage Do’s and Don’ts

Ensuring safety during water damage restoration remains our top priority. Whether addressing mitigation or restoration after water damage, adhering to the following guidelines can significantly reduce the risk of setbacks from rain, floods, plumbing issues, or leaks from A/C or roofs.

What to Do

1. Shut Off Water: Immediately close your home’s water supply and seek professional assistance for repairs.
2. Exercise Caution: Be vigilant of slippery floors and potential trip hazards, including exposed electrical wires.
3. Remove Water: Use towels or mops to eliminate as much water as possible. In colder weather, ventilate by opening windows; in warmer weather, consider using air conditioning, if safe, to aid drying.
4. Elevate Upholstery: Remove loose cushions and elevate upholstered furniture to facilitate drying.
5. Manage Area: Clear away rugs and objects from floors to expedite drying.
6. Dry Storage Items: Open damp suitcases and storage containers, allowing them to dry in sunlight, if feasible.
7. Safeguard Valuables: Transfer paintings and delicate items to a secure, dry location.
8. Dry Clothing: Promptly dry all damp garments. Hang fur and leather items at room temperature to prevent damage.

What Not to Do

2. Do Not Use Electrical Appliances: Avoid operating TVs, radios, computers, or other electrical devices while standing on wet surfaces, especially concrete or tile floors.
3. Steer Clear of Outlets or Plugs: Refrain from plugging or unplugging electrical appliances or touching plugged-in devices.
4. Maintain Moderate Heat: Keep indoor temperatures cool, as mold thrives in warm, humid environments.
