What does flood damage restoration include?
Floodwater from a natural disaster or toilet overflow is hazardous for human health. Therefore, it is wise to let professionals handle the restoration process, which includes:
- Water extraction: Immediate floodwater removal minimizes the spread of damage and speeds up the drying process. We work hard to preserve your home and remove the damaged materials. Depending on the level of water, we can use a self-priming trash pump since the floodwater may contain solids such as tree branches, rocks, among other debris.
- Structural drying: The drying process is essential to prevent mold growth. We use state-of-the-art equipment that helps us dry even the hard-to-reach areas and speed up the process.
- Demolition and cleaning: Our team has advanced training and resources that help us save as much property as possible. To clear damaged areas effectively, we offer selective demolition services using care to remove what is necessary. We can use a carpet knee kicker, and a carpet razor knife to remove the carpeting and pad.
- Application of anti-microbial products to prevent mold growth: Since mold is a living organism, it may flourish in a humid area. It can spread through airborne spores that only an effective treatment can stop. We use anti-microbial solutions when cleaning and sanitizing for full remediation.
- Moisture level monitoring: Even after water removal, cleaning, and drying the affected property effectively, we inspect the affected area to ensure your property is safe to occupy. Our experts can use a non-penetrating moisture meter to detect moisture. The device is useful in detecting moisture in materials such as drywall and plaster. The equipment reads deep into materials and surfaces.
