Assessment of the Damage

The first step toward the restoration of your home after a flood is an assessment of the damage. The team of SERVPRO professionals conducts a thorough inspection of both the interior and exterior of your house to determine the extent of the damage.

Our experts also discuss restoration plans with you during this step. While some restoration such as roof repair must be started immediately, you have some more time to decide on some other issues that are not of immediate importance.

The Process of Flood Damage Restoration

Once all the terms are agreed upon, the restoration work begins with removal of any standing water on the property. Once the standing water is removed, the SERVPRO experts use some sensors to detect hidden moisture in the carpet and other areas of your home.

Our experts use equipment such as moisture meters and Thermohygrometers to determine the best conditions necessary for the complete moisture removal.

Extractors are used to remove water from carpets and upholstery while industrial dehumidification equipment help to create the best conditions for water extraction.

The cleaning process usually starts within eight hours of our team’s arrival on the site. Although the time needed to complete the task can vary depending on the extent of damage, SERVPRO experts work hard to keep it to a minimum.
