- Sanitizing & Cleaning Water damage often brings contaminants into your property. We clean and sanitize affected areas, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for your family or business

Water Damage Mitigation
The time required depends on the extent of the damage, but typically, drying takes 3-5 days, and full restoration can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
In most cases, yes. However, if the damage is extensive or hazardous, we may recommend temporary relocation.
Most insurance policies cover water damage from sudden events like pipe bursts. We work with your insurance company to maximize your claim.
Water damage can occur for various reasons. Natural disasters, such as floods, and plumbing failures can lead to burst or clogged pipes. Additionally, appliances may malfunction or be improperly connected. Overfilled or clogged sewage systems can result in raw sewage backing up into your property. Furthermore, external elements like roofing, gutters, and windows might be improperly installed or damaged, allowing water to seep in over time. Inside the home, areas with water exposure, such as cracked tiles in showers, can also lead to water damage.
Regular maintenance around your home can help identify potential water intrusions before they escalate. Check all appliances and exterior components that come into contact with water, such as septic tanks and gutters. If you live in an area with freezing temperatures, ensure that valves are adequately insulated. Monitor your water bill for unusual increases, as this may indicate a leak in the system. Lastly, make sure everyone in your household or staff knows how and where to shut off the main water supply in case of an emergency to minimize potential water damage.
If left unaddressed, water damage can severely compromise your property and diminish its value. It can lead to both structural and cosmetic damage, creating safety hazards. Mold can begin to grow within 12 to 36 hours of water exposure if not treated promptly, posing serious health risks.
If you observe water damage, it’s crucial to address it immediately. Neglecting the issue can lead to irreversible damage and decrease your property’s value. Structural integrity may be compromised, and mold growth can occur within 12 to 36 hours if the situation is not properly handled.
Our pricing is transparent and free from markups. All equipment and tools are priced according to standard industry practices, and you will only pay for what is necessary, as per the IICRC standards for drying and restoration. We accept various payment methods, including checks, cash, and credit cards.
Yes, water is categorized into three types:
Category 1: Also known as “clean water,” this includes sources such as broken water supply lines or sink overflows. While not harmful initially, it can develop into Category 2 if left untreated.
Category 2: Known as “grey water,” this includes water from dishwashers or washing machines. It contains a significant amount of contaminants and can cause discomfort or illness. If untreated, it can evolve into Category 3.
Category 3: Referred to as “black water,” this includes sewage (like toilet backups) and water from sources such as ground, sea, or surface water. This type is extremely unsanitary and harbors harmful bacteria and fungi, leading to health risks.
It is not advisable to attempt water damage cleanup on your own. As mentioned, different types of water require specific personal protective equipment for safety. Water can move in unpredictable ways, and specialized tools are needed to detect moisture that may be trapped or hidden. Even a small amount of hidden water can lead to secondary damage and mold growth.
No, just because an area looks dry doesn’t mean it is safe. Water can hide in unexpected places, and special tools are necessary to detect trapped moisture. If even a small amount of water remains, it can lead to secondary damage and mold growth.
Many clients choose to upgrade their property during the reconstruction process. After the initial phase is complete, our trained staff will discuss any upgrades you may want to implement. If insurance funds are available to cover damages, we will assist you in using those funds as credit towards your desired upgrades.
