Water can destroy finishes, warp structure, and fuel mold—fast.

Storm/flood damage cleanup
Large-loss teams handle debris removal, water extraction, drying, and sanitization, stabilizing structures and contents after storms or overland floods.
What Is Water Damage Restoration?
Water damage restoration returns your property to a clean, dry, safe condition after leaks, floods, or sewage incidents. A complete project typically includes source repair, extraction, structural drying, cleaning/sanitization, mold prevention, verification, and—when needed—repairs/rebuild. Our moisture mapping identifies hidden pockets so today’s spill doesn’t become tomorrow’s mold issue.


Emergency Checklist (What to Do Now)
-
Shut off water at the fixture or main, if safe.

-
Move valuables and small furniture to a dry area.
-
Limit foot traffic on wet carpet/hardwood to reduce spread and damage.

Truck-mount or high-lift portable extraction; weighted wanding for carpet/pad; cavity ports reach behind baseboards and inside walls.
Containment, Drying & Dehumidification
Dust barriers/negative pressure as needed; optimized ratios of air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to meet psychrometric targets.
Sanitization, Odor Control & Daily Monitoring
Category-appropriate antimicrobials; HEPA filtration where indicated; daily logs of RH/GPP and material moisture content with equipment adjustments.
