Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    Upon arrival, our team conducts a comprehensive assessment of your property to evaluate the storm damage thoroughly. Utilizing thermal imaging inspections and moisture mapping, we can detect hidden moisture pockets and map out the full extent of the damage, tailoring our approach accordingly.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    Removing standing water is our immediate priority. We deploy high-powered water extraction equipment to efficiently remove water from basements, crawl spaces, and affected areas. Prompt extraction is critical to preventing further issues like mold growth or structural compromise.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying

    Our dedicated technicians utilize state-of-the-art air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers to manage moisture levels effectively in affected areas. Ensuring thorough structural drying is crucial to preventing mold and mildew growth, preserving the integrity and safety of your home.

  4. 4

    Mold Prevention

    We conduct antimicrobial treatments to mitigate the risk of mold growth, a common challenge in the aftermath of water intrusion. By establishing containment barriers and employing negative air machines, we ensure affected areas remain sanitary and suitable for safe occupancy post-restoration.

  5. 5

    Ongoing Monitoring

    Continuous monitoring is essential to confirming the success of our restoration efforts. We conduct daily moisture meter readings and maintain comprehensive drying logs to track progress and adjust strategies as necessary to meet the standards defined by the IICRC S500.

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. Kentwood homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
