Home Full of Water

Containment and Equipment

This is a common story...

Jackie and her family returned home from a trip to find standing water all over her downstairs. Her wood floors were soaked.

Our certified technicians arrived within an hour and began extracting the water in the home.  The technicians moved all of the client's contents and prepared two drying zones. Plastic barriers were placed to promote quick and efficient drying for the structure. The wood floor was removed where it was damaged and unsalvageable. Baseboards and drywall were also removed to prevent mold growth. Air movers and dehumidifiers were used for 3 days to dry the rest of structure, inside cavities and flooring. 

We limited the damage by acting fast and 40% of the floor was saved. The family was allowed to stay at their residence during the drying process and we used barriers to separate working/drying areas.
