Our Water Damage Restoration Process


Flood Damage Safety & Precautions for Olney, MD

Our process for the safest water damage assessment begins with the following steps:

1) We inspect your home for structural damage. We want to make sure the home or business is safe to be occupied for you, your family, and our staff. We will notify you immediately of any concerns.
2) We wear personal protective equipment such as suits, respirators, boots, and gloves.
3) We regularly inspect our equipment for thermally protected motors, ground plugs, and fray in the cords.
4) We post signs to prevent cross-contamination and to prevent and slip and falls.

Inspect & Assess Water Damage

Water can be extremely unpredictable and move into places that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Our professional moisture detection equipment includes infrared cameras, moisture meters, and other tools to find where the water has traveled. This equipment lets us know what is wet and how wet it is. After we’ve inspected the water damage, we put a plan of action together to ensure everything is dry and safe.

Flooded basements and crawlspaces can present even more challenges than regular room spaces. Hidden moisture can lead to mold and mildew that can invade and ruin your stored contents and valuables. Our job is to detect and remove the water in your basement quickly and completely as well as anywhere else in your home or business.

Olney Water Damage Cleanup & Removal

After locating the water damage, we begin removing the bulk of the water including any standing water. When large amounts of standing water are present, we use water pumps to remove the water from your property quickly. Removing the water as fast as possible helps to prevent any mold or other microbial growth. To extract carpet, tile, and concrete we use our powerful truck mounted extraction equipment with an array of tools for these various flooring surfaces. By completing this step in a short period of time, it reduces humidity in your home immediately.

Whether you’ve discovered flooding from a broken or leaky pipe, damage from frozen pipes, a sewer line break, a sink or toilet overflow, or a malfunctioning appliance like a water heater, washing machine, dishwasher or refrigerator in your home, our flood damage technicians are equipped to handle any problem of any size. All it takes is one phone call and we are on our way to handle all your water damage cleanup needs.

Clean Contaminated Areas

There are 3 classifications of water that we identify as categories:

  • Category 1 water is simply fresh, clean water from a pipe break.
  • Category 2 water can be a number of things from a dishwasher overflow, to water coming from the ceiling down to another level. We consider this type of water slightly contaminated.
  • Category 3 water is considered grossly contaminated and would be water such as sewage backups, and rain water that backed up from a sump pump or came from the outside. It can also be category 1 or 2 water that has sat for a few days increasing the microbial level. This requires a professional sewage damage restoration company to ensure the area is thoroughly decontaminated.

We're trained in how to identify what category of water we're dealing with to make sure we clean any affected areas properly to ensure your safety. We will flush the areas with hot water and at times we will apply an anti-microbial agent. Anti-microbial agents are used to deodorize, sanitize, and prevent mold growth. Children, older people, and others with weak immune systems or respiratory problems can get sick from strong chemicals such as antimicrobials. We will advise if any safety precautions are needed.
