1. Rapid Response and Initial Inspection
Time is of the essence when dealing with water damage. That’s why our team is on call 24/7, ready to respond immediately. Our experienced technicians will conduct a thorough inspection, using advanced tools to identify the extent of the damage—even hidden moisture behind walls and under floors.
We’ll create a detailed restoration plan tailored to your business’s unique needs, keeping you informed every step of the way.
2. Expert Water Extraction and Dry Out
Removing standing water and drying out the affected area is critical to preventing secondary damage like mold growth. SERVPRO uses industrial-grade pumps, air movers, and dehumidifiers to dry your space quickly and effectively. Our team monitors moisture levels daily, ensuring that every corner of your property is completely dry.
3. Repairs and Reconstruction
Unlike many restoration companies, SERVPRO handles repairs and reconstruction in-house. From replacing drywall and flooring to rebuilding structural elements, our skilled professionals ensure that your property is restored to pre-damage condition without the hassle of coordinating with multiple vendors.
This seamless process saves you time, money, and the stress of managing multiple contractors.
4. Content Cleaning and Storage
Your business relies on more than just the physical space—it also depends on the items inside. Whether it’s office furniture, electronics, or inventory, SERVPRO offers specialized content cleaning services to restore your items to their original condition. For items that need to be moved off-site during the restoration process, we provide secure, climate-controlled storage.
5. Final Touches for a Safe, Functional Space
Once the repairs are complete, we’ll perform a final walkthrough to ensure every detail has been addressed. We also sanitize and deodorize the space, creating a clean and healthy environment for your employees and customers.
