Our Process of Water Damage Restoration

1: Quick Response to your Call

We are well aware that you need an immediate response to your call as the damage has begun and it will get worse with each passing minute. We have a full team that is available 24/7 and will answer your call immediately. When you call us we will ask for basic information which mostly includes discussing your problem and information about your insurance provider. On average we reach your location in less than 60 minutes and it is very rare that we are late, unless there is some traffic problem or your location is far away from us.

2: Damage Inspection Upon Arrival

Once we are at your house, we will immediately start off with the damage inspection process which involves thoroughly checking every corner of your property to look out for all the damage and to determine how to effectively restore it and prevent any further. Before we start we will always report you with our assessment and explain you the restoration process.

3: Taking Action

It could be very confusing if you are not told what we are about to do to your property. This is why we take the time and explain our plan of action which includes the cost estimate that will happen during the entire process. We might have to remove baseboards or even tear out drywall and dispose of any wet insulation. In that case you will be informed about it. If we are able to save the carpet and recover furnishings at your house you will be well-informed of all the options.

4: Water Extraction, Drying and Then Dehumidifying

Of course the first step towards water damage restoration is to extract the water. We do this using our state-of-the-art hi-tech equipment which includes pumps, vacuums and truck mounts. Our goal is to extract as much water as we possibly can and then begin the drying process which is done using blowers and other equipment. Finally, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to ensure there is no bad smell left behind, and also to prevent mold growth.

5: Cleaning Up & Sanitizing

After extracting the water, drying everything and dehumidifying the air, the next process is cleanup which includes sanitizing the surfaces and porous materials. This is done by using specialized techniques and antimicrobial products that are child and pet safe. Don’t worry about wet carpets. Our powerful deep steaming machines will not only dry them out completely but also ensure their fibers don’t get damaged. Our team is also equipped with air scrubbers which help in making the surrounding atmosphere fresh. Our quality equipment can also help recover your valuable items that have been soaked.

6: The Full Restoration

We never rush into completing our job and we will not leave your property until it is fully restored to its original condition or until you are satisfied. Sometimes the job is minor which includes only replacing small areas of a drywall while others are large scale projects that require rebuilding entire floors and walls. No matter how big or small the job is we promise to bring your place back to its original condition.
