Sudden water damage is an issue for 14,000 Americans every single day.
If the misfortune of water damage should happen to you, we certainly hope you’ll entrust SERVPRO with your cleanup and care. Here’s what you can expect when you enlist our help.
Emergency Contact. When we first chat, we’ll ask some questions to help shape our understanding of the issue and its potential effects on your property. Then we’ll figure out the best time for us to arrive for in-person assessment.
Inspection and Water Damage Assessment. Once we pull up to your home, we can look over the damage and property, and stop the source of water leakage if it’s still occurring. Then we’ll go forward with the plan, apprise you of any items that we estimate will need removal and replacement, and warn you about any hazards the damage may have created.
Water Removal. Removal begins with the arrival of our pump trucks, which will remove the standing water from your home. We’ll go to whatever lengths are necessary to see to it that your home gets back in the dry.
Damaged Material Removal. Now we can get to those items which are beyond restoration. We’ll haul them away, leaving us to work with the areas and items which can be restored.
Cleaning, Sanitizing and Deodorization. Of course, the water doesn’t leave cleanly, does it? It will have left behind stains and other unpleasantness, which we can now scrub away.
Drying. Excess moisture will still be in the air and on your surfaces, and that breeds mold after a short while. So we’ll use specialized equipment and techniques to rid every affected surface of moisture, giving you the dehumidified area you need.
Monitoring. We’ll be watching, always watching. Your SERVPRO professionals will be in regular contact, keeping you updated on the situation and making any needed changes to the game plan.
Repairs and Construction. Depending on your situation, there could be anything from some simple carpet replacement to drywall and full area reconstruction. That’s the final step for us, leaving you with a seamless, fully restored or reconstructed home, free of the slightest hint of damage. We’ll make it Like It Never Even Happened.
When water damage strikes, make the call to SERVPRO for A-to-Z cleanup and restoration. We’ll make your damaged property look “Like It Never Even Happened.”
