Damage From Hurricane
Storm and water damage pose serious risks to property owners, such as:- Electrocution: if you see an area where water could have entered an electrical outlet—always wait for a professional to secure the damaged area.
- Water from storm drains and sewer lines backing up and entering your property.
- Mold, if the affected area is not properly dried and treated.
- Disease and illness from contaminated water flooding your property.
Our expert technicians perform a thorough storm water extraction and cleanup process, taking all precautions to ensure everyone’s safety.
- We conduct an initial assessment of the area that includes identifying the source of entry of the water and taking steps to prevent further water entry – which contains the water and minimizes the possibility of further damage to your property.
- Next, we categorize the type of water that has invaded your property by identifying the source of the water and the various levels of contaminants that may be present. Proper categorization is critical so that we select the appropriate extraction and cleaning method.
- Our full assessment of the water damage includes determining the amount of flooding that occurred and the level of dampness—in floors and carpeting, water absorption or stains on walls, and dampness of porous surfaces such as brick or concrete.
- Standing flood water extraction is done using professional-grade truck-mounted equipment and submersible pumps that remove the water directly to our truck. Once the water is removed we check for areas where the potential exists for mold to grow, and take appropriate steps to ensure an infestation does not occur.
- We carefully inspect all property contents for water damage, including personal belongings and building materials – salvaging what can be cleaned and restored, and properly disposing of items that cannot be restored or renovated.
- Specialized equipment including dehumidifiers and heat dryers are used to thoroughly dry the affected area—building materials, flooring (including hardwood)—and ensure moisture and humidity levels meet the building’s dry standards. With our moisture-mapping techniques and professional equipment, we monitor and measure the amount of moisture saturation in the air, and track those measurements throughout the entire drying period.
- Using environmentally safe products and practices, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the area, including taking steps to remove dank, musty odors that sometimes occur with flooding. We take the necessary steps to restore and renovate areas of your property that sustained structural or other damage. Our goal is to restore your property to its pre-storm-damage condition, and to do so with minimal disruption.
