Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    Upon arrival, our technicians conduct an immediate assessment, identifying the source of the leak and categorizing the water damage according to industry standards to tailor an effective response. This includes evaluating whether the water is clean, gray, or black, as each requires a different handling approach.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    Utilizing high-power extraction equipment, we remove standing water from your property, which is critical for minimizing structural damage and halting further spread of moisture. Our teams prioritize this step to ensure rapid recovery of spaces prone to major water pooling, like basements.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers work in concert to significantly reduce moisture levels, employing directional airflow to expedite drying and prevent mold growth. In critical areas, such as those with hardwood or complex flooring, our team takes special care to adjust techniques according to material susceptibility.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Antimicrobial Treatment

    We apply antimicrobial agents to prevent potential mold growth and ensure all wetted structures and contents are sanitized for your safety. This is especially important to prevent health hazards associated with Category 2 and 3 water exposure. Our comprehensive sanitization plans are customized to fit the specific exposure risks identified in the assessment phase.

  5. 5

    Final Inspection and Restoration

    Our experts conduct a thorough final inspection to confirm the water damage is fully addressed, taking moisture meter readings to validate the effectiveness of the drying process before restoration. During this phase, we also perform any necessary restorations to reinstate your property's integrity, including drywall and carpet evaluation and replacement if necessary.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. East Grand Rapids homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
