Initial steps in the mitigation process

Dry Down plan and Removal of Moisture

Our IICRC-trained technicians will come out and begin our drying plan for the affected area of your property. This is done through: 

  • Water Extraction 

  • Removal of wet carpet pad and carpet

  • Removal of molding and toe kicks

  • Removal of wet insulation

  • Removal of wet drywall, panel, or flooring when needed

  • Treatment of affected area with non-harmful plant based anti-microbial agents

  • Placement of professional water mitigation equipment

  • When sewage is involved most building materials can not be salvaged

 

We will then test the affected area to ensure moisture levels have retuned to pre-loss levels

Most dry downs will require mitigation equipment to be left onsite for three to five days.  During this time we may need to inspect the property to insure proper drying and equipment placement.
