Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment and Safety Check

    Once we reach your property, our first priority is conducting a detailed evaluation to determine the scale and source of water damage. Simultaneously, we perform a safety check to establish a secure environment, addressing any immediate hazards such as electrical risks or structural integrity issues.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    Swift water removal is paramount. Utilizing industrial-grade pumps and vacuums, we begin extracting standing water without delay. This essential step significantly reduces the potential for water to wick into walls and structural elements, mitigating the immediate risk of extensive damage and facilitating faster drying.

  3. 3

    Moisture Mapping and Inspection

    With the bulk of water removed, we use advanced moisture meters and thermal imaging technology to meticulously map residual moisture. This allows us to target our drying efforts precisely where needed, ensuring no hidden dampness remains that might foster mold or cause further structural degradation.

  4. 4

    Structural Drying

    Deploying air movers and dehumidifiers in strategic locations, we focus on thorough moisture removal. Continuous monitoring, through daily drying logs and relative humidity assessments, informs adjustments to our techniques to optimize drying efficiency and effectiveness across all affected areas.

  5. 5

    Sanitization and Final Checks

    Post drying, we apply rigorous antimicrobial treatments to prevent microbial growth. Before wrapping up, extensive final checks confirm adequate drying and sanitization, ensuring your environment is safe and habitable. We then prepare comprehensive documentation to assist you with the insurance claim process.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Chesterfield homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
