Water Damage Restoration   Restoration Division

By having the right equipment, and understanding the principles involved in the water damage restoration process, we can not only restore wall to wall carpet and pad but oriental carpets, upholstery, and structural materials like dry-wall board, thereby saving you and your clients hundreds or thousands of dollars in replacement costs. We have both Water Damage and Advanced Structure Drying Certifications at your service.

The primary purpose of the emergency service is to "preserve, protect and secure the property from further damage." Water damage claims increase substantially if prompt action is not taken to contain the damage. Restoration is only justified when it financially, or in some other important way, out performs replacement. If replacement is the best option, you will be informed at the time of inspection.

Frequently the result of plumbing or roofing problems, water damage should be handled without delay. All procedures as well as final results should be documented.  Future value and insurability of the property could be in jeopardy so act promptly.

Don't just Dry Carpet, Dry the STRUCTURE.

How do I know when the structure is dry?
You can only be certain of a dry structure by taking thorough measurements with moisture detection instruments. All affected materials should be returned to pre-loss condition within 4 percent (or points) of dry standard for your area.

What do moisture meters do?
There are several types of moisture detection instruments. Each instrument is designed for a specific application.

Hydrosensors determine where moisture has migrated to in carpet in pad. They detect moisture content as low as 17 percent. Use Hydrosensors to map out affected areas.

A Moisture Counter reads moisture content in materials without penetrating the surface. It has three settings for use with a variety of structural materials. Use it on vinyl flooring, furniture, drywall or any other surface that should not be penetrated. The Moisture Counter reads to a depth of 5/8".

A Moisture Pro takes penetrating readings of moisture content. It includes a hammer probe for driving insulated pins into hardwoods, subfloors or other structural materials. This meter allows you to take exact readings at specific depths. Compare day-to-day readings from the Moisture Pro to verify drying progress as moisture migrates back out of structural materials.

The DHT is a digital thermo-hygrometer. It measures the temperature and relative humidity of the air. Use the readings from the DHT to determine that you are controlling the humidity in the drying environment.

All WET Areas Of a Water Damage Must be Addressed.

Water damage can easily leads to mold unless ALL wet areas are dried properly. Simply addressing the carpet and pad are not enough. Here you see the carpet, padding, cabinets, and the lower 6 inches of wall board ALL being dried down AT THE SAME TIME. Dehumidification & air movement equipment are the principal tools.

This is our approach: to handling water damage in the most efficient way to PREVENT MOLD FROM OCCURRING....

• Help DRY DOWN WATER DAMAGED MATERIALS
• Identify the extent and severity of microbial contamination.
• Help you take precautions.
• Supervise and monitor decontamination procedures.
• Perform clearance testing to confirm that remediation was successfully completed.

Our environmental service has successfully addressed many water damaged interior structures such as walls, ceilings, floors and contents.

A team of professionals will develop a restoration plan detailing the protocol and scope of drying, which we will follow until metered moisture levels are normal.

Personal and/or business belongings that can be cleaned and restored are itemized, evaluated and removed in a manner which may involve using a professional moving service
