Here is what usually happens during a professional visit, step by step.

Analysing And A Walkthrough

The first thing the crew will do is walk through your home with you. They will want to see where the damage is, what areas are wet, and how far the water has spread. You will talk through what caused the damage and when it happened. That way, they can figure out how bad things really are. This part is usually simple. You show them the trouble spots. They might ask if you have turned off the water or power, and if anyone has tried to clean up already. This is one of the most important steps. You have to tell them every single detail to help make their work a little easier and spot the problem.

Deeper Inspection

There are a few things that the naked eye can miss; well, this is where the professional steps in. Our crew gets in the tools and walks you through the level of damage. These instruments help in checking where the water or moisture has reached and how much repair work is required. They may use a moisture reader or a thermal camera to spot damp spots that are not obvious yet. The goal is to find every place the water has touched. Skipping this part can lead to future problems like mold or weak walls. We take this step very seriously, as this will help determine the repair costs too.

Removing Any Excess Water

If there is water still sitting around, our team will get out all the pumps and get the removal. Pumps or vacuums, it depends on how much water is lying around. This process as soon as the inspection is done, as water lying around will only make it worse. Once the visible water is removed, the work is half done. This water must have seeped into the surfaces, floors, etc.

Drying The Surfaces

Fans and dryers will enter your place now. It is important to remove every single spec of moisture from the place. This is only possible when the fans and exhausts work in the best manner possible. This process might take a lot of time, and patience is the key.

The simple solution to all the problems is a phone call. Our job is not just to clean water, but to help you tackle all the mess.
