Any amount of unexpected water can cause a lot of damage, fast. We're ready to deal with your water damage emergency day or night.

Water damage can disrupt your home or business in an instant, but with the right approach, recovery is within reach. The water damage restoration process involves several crucial steps to ensure your property is thoroughly dried, cleaned, and restored to its original condition. At SERVPRO, we specialize in this process, providing expert mitigation services tailored to your needs.

The first step is assessing the extent of the damage, including identifying the water source and classifying the contamination level. This evaluation helps determine the most effective restoration strategy. Next comes water extraction, where specialized equipment removes standing water to prevent further damage. Once the water is removed, the focus shifts to drying and dehumidification. High-powered air movers and dehumidifiers are used to eliminate excess moisture, even from hard-to-reach areas like walls and under flooring.

After drying, the property undergoes cleaning and sanitization to eliminate contaminants and prevent mold growth. This process includes disinfecting surfaces and salvaging items whenever possible. Finally, the restoration phase focuses on ensuring the property is fully prepared for use by addressing and resolving any remaining concerns and optimizing its readiness for future needs.
