Removal of Water and Moisture

Excess water can penetrate building materials such as drywall and carpeting. It may cause water to spread and motivate mold growth.

To do this, technicians use high-power water pumps and vacuums to remove water from your home or office.

 

Drying Water Damaged Area

After most of the water has been removed, it is now essential to dry off all of the property's surfaces. Again, it is critical to ensure that all moisture has been removed.

Technicians employ modern dehumidification equipment to dry the area thoroughly. The process lasts for a few days or weeks, depending on the water.

 

Clean and Disinfect

The property is checked for possible mold infestations after it has dried. The area is then carefully cleaned and disinfected.

This includes antimicrobial treatments for all surfaces and any remaining affected furnishings.
