Water moves fast. Drying has to start faster.
Water soaks into drywall, insulation, subfloors and cabinets within hours. What looks like a wet floor is usually wet walls and framing too. The goal is to get everything back to a normal moisture level before materials swell, delaminate or grow mould.
Our IICRC-certified technicians use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find where the water went, not just where you can see it. Then we extract standing water, remove what can't be saved and set up air movers and dehumidifiers. We check the readings as it dries, and you get a copy.
Clean, grey and black water
The restoration industry sorts water into three categories. Clean water, from a supply line for example, can often be dried in place. Grey water, from a washing machine or dishwasher, needs more cleaning. Black water, from a sewer backup or outside flooding, means porous materials it touched have to come out. Which one you have changes the scope and the cost, so we tell you which it is and why.
