If you’re wiping or mopping up a small spill in the middle of the floor that is okay. But, the problem is, if water has flooded a large portion of your home or office, it’s the water you can’t actually touch or see, the water that is behind the wall or under the floors, that causes the problems. Dark cavities are the perfect place for mold to grow. Without any meters to measure the moisture, you won’t be able to find and remove any water you can’t see hiding in the structure. All that excess water promotes mold and mildew growth, and compromises the structural integrity of the materials. Mold exposure presents a very serious health threat to everyone in the building. In addition, if the water damage comes from a contaminated place, it presents a very serious health threat. If this is the case, you need to AVOID ANY CONTACT and call us immediately.

First, after we extract the water, we must restrict the affected area. Second, we remove any non-salvageable damaged materials. Third, we photo catalog every part of the damage and all damaged items. After that, we spray antimicrobial solutions on the affected area. Shop vacs and common household fans aren’t just designed to remove enough moisture or generate enough air movement to dry your home or office completely after a flood. So, we use certified, high-speed, air movers and dehumidifiers. We set up the equipment in a specific pattern, creating the most efficient drying system for your property. While the equipment controls the humidity levels in the air, we monitor the progress on a daily basis with certified meters to measure the moisture. Last step is we will get in touch with your insurance company to facilitate efficient processing of your insurance claim. We’re experts at this, and we’ve helped several homeowners recover quickly from water damage loss.

When it comes to drying a home or business it varies on a lot of key factors. Completely drying a structure will always vary on the type of water damage, how bad it was, how long the water dwelled, and the type of building materials involved. For example, concrete takes a much longer time to dry than wood does. Water damage restoration usually takes an estimate of two to three days to completely dry. Larger buildings usually take a longer time to dry than smaller ones.

We strategically place our equipment so it will operate to the best of its ability according to the moisture . We also monitor the progress of every water mitigation job regularly to see where we can efficiently make adjustments. Remember our job is to get you clean, dry and sanitized as quickly as we can. Monitoring helps achieve that goal.

Please don’t! The drying process requires 24 hours a day for multiple days. It depends on the size of the loss, on average, the estimated cost to run this equipment usually is no more than $3 per day. We realize that the noise may become a problem for sleeping purposes so we encourage you to call your insurance agent to see if your policy covers alternate living expenses or any business expenses.

Absolutely not, We use several different antimicrobials for every water damage mitigation job. These prevent mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. Most of our certified products are rated safe for children and pets. If you have any concerns about chemical exposure, ask the technician on call which anti-microbial solution he will be using. But to be safe, it’s wise to keep yourself, children, and pets away during the drying process.
