What to Expect from the Water Damage Cleanup Process

  1. Inspection- First, one of our experts will inspect your property to determine the extent of the damage and make a plan to address all the areas of concern.
  2. Extraction- The next step in water damage cleanup is to get rid of any water that’s still in your home. Our team uses high-powered pumps and vacuums to suck up this water and move it outside and into a storm drain, or into a tank for later disposal.
  3. Evaporation- Once the liquid water is gone, we will get to work addressing the water that has seeped into your walls, floors, furniture, and other affected items. We will use specialized equipment to draw out that moisture and evaporate it away.
  4. Dehumidification- Lastly, we will thoroughly dehumidify the air in your space in order to get rid of even trace amounts of that moisture in the air. All of these steps are designed to prevent mold growth and rot– even the humidity in the air can encourage both if allowed to linger for too long.
