Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Water Extraction

    Our team arrives promptly to assess and begin immediate water extraction, using powerful pumps to remove standing water and prevent further damage.

  2. 2

    Thorough Damage Assessment

    We perform a detailed inspection with thermal imaging to assess the class of water loss and identify hidden moisture in walls and floors.

  3. 3

    Moisture Mapping and Dehumidification

    Technicians utilize moisture meters and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers to map, monitor, and reduce moisture levels, preventing mold growth.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Air Quality

    Containment barriers and negative air machines are used to isolate the cleanup area, followed by antimicrobial treatments to sanitize and deodorize.

  5. 5

    Drying and Monitoring

    We employ air movers to enhance drying, keeping daily drying logs to track progress and adjust equipment settings to optimize humidity levels.
