Water Inspection & Assessment

Our experts will inspect your home and assess the extent of the flooding using tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters. From there, we can determine the best equipment and techniques to use to effectively restore your home to pre-flood condition.

Water Removal

All standing water will be removed using equipment like pumps and commercial vacuums, acting as quickly as possible to limit water damage and prevent future mold growth. Our experts can then assess the damage to personal belongings, appliances, and other basement contents, and remove any salvageable items for safekeeping.

Sanitation

Floodwater often contains dangerous pathogens like E. Coli and other bacteria or viruses, so it is important to thoroughly clean flooded areas. We use 200-degree water to sterilize affected surfaces, as well as antimicrobial solutions when necessary. This kills any pathogens and leaves your basement safe and healthy. We will fully explain any chemicals used and allow you time to make sure family members and pets are kept safe during the process.

Structural Drying

Moisture from flooding can soak deep into porous surfaces like wood and drywall. After cleaning, we will use equipment like fans, heaters, negative air machines, and dehumidifiers to remove any remaining moisture and leave the structure as dry as possible. This helps to prevent future mold problems, and we will monitor the process with moisture meters and document the results to ensure it is successful.
