While You Wait for the Crew

A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we reach St. Louis.

Do

  • Shut off the water at the source or the main valve if you can reach it safely
  • Cut power to affected rooms at the breaker if outlets or appliances got wet
  • Move photos, electronics, and valuables somewhere dry
  • Take photos and video before you move anything large — your claim will thank you

Don’t

  • Use a household vacuum on standing water
  • Walk under sagging ceilings or across buckled floors

Our Process

  1. 1

    Assessment

    We inspect the damage, map how far it reaches, and give you a clear plan and estimate before work begins.

  2. 2

    Mitigation

    We stop the damage from spreading - extracting water, boarding up, or containing the affected area.

  3. 3

    Cleanup & Drying

    Commercial equipment removes moisture, soot, or contamination, and we verify with instruments - not guesswork.

  4. 4

    Sanitizing

    Affected surfaces are cleaned, deodorized, and treated so your home is safe, not just dry.

  5. 5

    Restoration

    Our reconstruction team rebuilds and finishes every damaged surface so it looks like nothing ever happened.
