Water in your home can leave it vulnerable to more damage. Doors, windows, walls, and Sheetrock can become weakened from the initial damage and further through unseen decay.

The faster you get the water extracted and start the drying out process, the less overall damage you will have.

Our crews are trained to quickly work in your home and with the contents of your home to remove water. Contents often require different treatment depending on the effect of the water damage.  Treatment can include drying, deodorizing, sanitizing, protection and storing. Our equipment is designed to remove and extract water in a controlled environment. Our method depends on your unique situation. It requires monitoring moisture, humidity and temperature of the affected areas including floors, walls, carpet, and contents. After the drying process is complete, the damage must be assessed and a restoration plan developed according to the specifics of your project.

The restoration plan can involve repair to your many of the structural components in your home such as repair and replacement of sheetrock walls and ceilings, wood trim, doors, windows, cabinets. Flooring including carpet, wood floors, tile and marble can be reinstalled or replaced. Restored contents must be cleaned and sanitized before replacement.

Moisture sensitive surfaces such as cabinets, baseboard and wood can swell and become disfigured.  Paper goods are ruined and furniture stains begin to appear on the carpeting which typically stain it permanently.

Within Hours:

Water is absorbed by drywall causing it to soften and warp. Wood furniture exposed to water can be permanently damaged due to discoloration and swelling. Carpeting that becomes wet can be ruined due to delamination, which is the separation of the carpet from its backing.

Within Days:
