Assessment
Once on the scene, the team will evaluate the extent of the damage and what it will take to complete the storm restoration process. Technicians will walk through the area, make a plan and share it with you.

Taking out the Damaged Items

Water Removal
Next, the team will use commercial-grade machines to extract all the water from your building. Crews will use heavy-duty fans and dehumidifiers to dry and the affected areas and remove all traces of moisture.

Sanitizing
Dry floors, walls, and ceilings are not enough. To discourage the growth of mold, technicians will use powerful chemicals to kill any bacteria.

Rebuilding
Crews will then clean and dry all items. They will also replace and restore building materials.
