Assessment
We will thoroughly inspect the affected areas to determine the extent of the damage, including checking for hidden damage behind walls, under floors and in other concealed areas. Meticulous documentation of the severity of the damage is important for preventing any further damage. It will also allow us to determine which damaged materials may be salvaged and whether any materials may need to be removed because of structural issues or contamination. Inspection by qualified, certified professionals is important for effective communication with your insurance company.
Extraction
Standing water is removed from the property using pumps, vacuums, and other specialized equipment. This step is crucial to prevent further damage and mold growth.
Drying and Dehumidification
Industrial, state of the art air movers, and dehumidifiers are placed in order to dry out the affected areas and remove excess moisture from the air and surfaces. The humidity levels will be closely monitored until they have returned to normal, ensuring that the area is completely dry. Daily inspections are performed ensuring that any necessary adjustments are made to thoroughly complete the drying process.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Affected surfaces, including floors, walls, and ceilings, are cleaned to remove contaminants. Different cleaning agents and methods may be used depending on the water category. Surfaces are sanitized to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.

Any mold growth is removed, and certain contaminated materials may need to be discarded. Specialized HEPA air filtration is used, and steps are taken to prevent future mold growth.
