Structural Drying/Water Extraction

A Flood...The One Emergency You Did Not Plan For!!!

If your home or business has flooded time is of the essence. The more time you wait before restoring your carpets and flooring, the greater your chances of developing a mold issue to deal with that could present a whole new list of problems and make clean up much more expensive.

Initial Evaluation and Inspection:

            Upon arrival at job site, Our trained specialist will inspect and evaluate the damage utilizing moisture meters, hygrometers and if needed infrared cameras.  A recommended scope of emergency service and drying procedures is discussed and agreed upon.

Extraction and Dehumidification:
            Our certified water damage technicians use state-of-the-art water extraction equipment to remove water from carpets, floors and crawlspaces. Powerful air movers, dehumidifiers, and other sophisticated drying equipment remove remaining moisture from the structure. Drying is a necessity in order to restore water-damaged materials to a pre-loss condition.

Damage to drywall and flooring can be obvious from large amounts of standing water.  However, water travels into hidden, void spaces inside walls and below flooring that can lead to the onset of mold if not detected and dried right away.  Time is critical and humidity control can prove to be the primary difference in preventing further structural damage.

As the science of water damage restoration has evolved over the past two decades,  IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration) has taken a leadership role in setting industry standards.  All Our field technicians and specialist are all IICRC certified to handle any water damage. 

 

Categories of Water:

Category 1 Water:  Water originating from a source that does not pose substantial harm to humans.  Also referred to as “clean water.”

Category 2 Water:  Water containing a significant degree of chemical, biological and/or physical contamination and having the potential to cause discomfort or sickness if consumed by or exposed to humans.  Also referred to as “gray water”.
