While You Wait for the Crew

A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we reach Kentwood.

Do

  • Turn off the main water supply to prevent more damage
  • Move valuables to a dry area away from potential water sources
  • Ensure the safety of electrical appliances and outlets by avoiding contact with water
  • Increased ventilation when safe by opening windows and doors to promote air circulation

Don’t

  • Do not use electrical appliances in wet areas as this poses both shock and fire risks
  • Avoid using a household vacuum to remove water, as it’s not designed for this task and can be hazardous
  • Steer clear of touching water if it's near electrical outlets to prevent electrocution

Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    Our team responds with urgency, conducting a detailed assessment using thermal imaging and moisture mapping. This step determines the extent and class of water loss, crucial for planning effective restoration tactics.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    By deploying high-powered pumps and vacuums, we swiftly eliminate standing water. This pivotal action prevents further damage like mold growth and starts the healing process for your property.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying and Dehumidification

    Once water is extracted, we set up advanced air movers and dehumidifiers. These reduce relative humidity to safe levels, targeting moisture in materials to stop further seepage or structural warping.

  4. 4

    Cleaning and Sanitization

    Our attentive sanitization process, including antimicrobial treatments, ensures your environment is fully restored and health risks like mold are diminished through meticulous cleaning procedures.

  5. 5

    Restoration and Repair

    We methodically return your property to its original state, repairing, repainting, and reinstalling salvageable materials, effectively reversing damage and restoring comfort and safety to your home.
