Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    A rapid response team assesses the extent of water damage using moisture mapping and thermal imaging. These techniques help identify hidden water pockets and set a baseline for restoration.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    High-capacity pumps and vacuums remove standing water. This step is essential to prevent water from further wicking up the walls and saturating building materials.

  3. 3

    Drying and Dehumidification

    Air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers reduce moisture levels in the air and structure. This process helps prevent mold and secondary damage.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Mold Prevention

    An antimicrobial treatment is applied to affected areas to prevent mold development. This includes hard surfaces, flooring, and potentially impacted drywall.

  5. 5

    Final Inspection and Monitoring

    Daily drying logs and moisture meter readings ensure the drying process is effective, concluding with a comprehensive inspection to confirm restoration completion.
