Expert Storm Damage Assessment
When a storm wreaks havoc in Downriver, assessing the damage quickly is critical to prevent further issues such as mold. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to identify the extent of storm damage. Equipment like moisture meters and thermal imaging aids us in mapping the moisture in your property. This accurate scope of work helps us pinpoint areas where moisture may hide, from carpet fiber to the crevices of your basement, ensuring no remnants of water are left behind.
In the Downriver region, where basements are prevalent, water can quickly become a concerning issue. Whether it's rainwater wicking up your walls or a sump pump failure, our team is prepared. We monitor relative humidity levels and create containment barriers if necessary, to prevent secondary damage. Our moisture mapping and thermal imaging inspection are industry standards, providing insights essential for an effective recovery strategy.
Professional Water Extraction and Structural Drying
Once the assessment is complete, our focus shifts to removing standing water and drying the affected areas. In basements, where water tends to accumulate, our team uses high-powered extractors to ensure complete water removal. For structural drying, air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers are employed to eliminate moisture from drywall, subfloors, and carpets. Our goal is to save as much of your home’s materials as possible while preventing mold growth.
Water can come in different classes and categories, and each requires tailored handling. From Category 1 clean water to more contaminated Category 3 black water, we ensure that your environment is sanitized thoroughly. Our daily drying logs allow us to track progress and adjust strategies as needed to achieve optimal results. By deploying negative air machines and antimicrobial treatments, we ensure that your home is restored to a safe and healthy state.
