Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment and Inspection

    Upon arrival, we conduct a comprehensive inspection using moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify all areas of moisture accumulation. This allows us to tailor a precise recovery plan, targeting both visible and hidden threats to your property.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    Using high-powered portable and truck-mounted pumps, we remove standing water swiftly to minimize further harm to your property. Our methods ensure that water is thoroughly extracted from every corner, reducing any potential for subsequent damage.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying

    Deploying air movers and dehumidifiers, we meticulously dry the structure, adjusting equipment placement based on daily drying logs. This process stabilizes the environment, preventing mold growth and further structural issues.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Mold Prevention

    Antimicrobial treatments are applied to prevent mold, ensuring your home is sanitized and free from bacterial growth post-extraction. These treatments build a defense against mold, an essential step in preserving your home’s integrity.

  5. 5

    Final Assessment and Documentation

    A thorough post-drying inspection with detailed documentation helps confirm complete dryness and satisfy insurance requirements. Our methodical approach guarantees that your home is restored to a pre-loss state, ready for any insurance scrutiny.

We Work With Your Insurance
