How We Clean Up Water Disasters
Excess moisture in your home or business can cause collateral damage if it is not eliminated quickly and properly. Our crews are highly trained and equipped to execute the following steps to clean up water damage fast and restore your home and life back to normal.
Steps To Clean Up Water Disasters:
- Eliminate water source
- Extract bulk water
- Moisture mapping (see explanation for moisture mapping below)
- Remove wet materials
- Calculate how much equipment is needed
- Set up drying equipment
- Monitor frequently
- Remove all equipment once dry standards have been reached (typically 3-5 days)
- Enjoy a moisture free space
Additionally, with our detailed documentation practices, we will help you prepare for your insurance claim. A lack of or incorrect documentation can put a stop to insurance coverage. Our crews are highly trained in this area and their thorough documentation procedure will guarantee that you are fully prepared for a claim.
Also, as mentioned above, we are thorough with our moisture mapping process. Moisture mapping is essential to tracking down every last drop of hidden damp material. Because water does not stop at the door, its path must be followed. Water moves through flooring, baseboards, drywall, and hides inside of walls, furniture, and textiles.
Any water that remains undetected will lead to dangerous mold growth as quickly as 24-48 hours. This presence of mold puts your home and family are risk for further destruction and health complications. We use advanced technology to measure the moisture at the site of the source and follow it as far as it could possibly reach. These same measurements are repeated after we complete the drying process to guarantee a dry and safe home.
Truly, we hope your home or business never goes under water. However, should you find yourself in a damp disaster, we are trained, equipped, and have crews ready to mitigate the damage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are your first call! 615-669-5329
