  • As soon as we get a call, we get to work investigating your property for water damage. Here’s a brief overview of how we approach the restoration process.

    Damage assessment and documentation

    Imaging technology can help identify hidden water damage in Greater Charlotte, NC where heavy rainfall and hurricanes can cause flooding. Be mindful of hurricane- and heavy rainfall-caused flood damage, it can welcome contaminants into your home and cause greater damage than other forms of water damage. Check regularly for leaks or water accumulation to detect problems early.

  • Industrial pumps and vacuums are used to efficiently extract water from your property. Moisture levels in the affected areas are monitored in order to ensure an effective extraction. Once saturated materials cannot be repaired further, they must be removed carefully in order to protect against further damage to the local environment.

    Drying and mold growth prevention

    Dehumidifiers and industrial-grade dryers can help remove excess moisture to stop mold growth in Greater Charlotte, where high humidity is common. Dehumidifiers should also be utilized in order to control humidity levels on a property. Water damage restoration professionals must address excess moisture as soon as possible to mitigate further issues.

  • A key part of water damage restoration is cleaning the affected areas to stop mold growth. Professionals perform surface and deep cleaning on surfaces and use air purification techniques to improve the air quality in affected areas.

  • Fire and smoke damage repair often requires eliminating lingering smoke odors, making removal a challenging challenge. For this task, professionals use various techniques like thermal fogging or hydroxyl machines. Proper ventilation must also be implemented alongside thorough cleaning to combat this odor problem for optimal results.
