Water/Sewer Damage

Water damage (water contamination) can strike your home or company at any time from tornadoes, floods, pipes bursting, roof leaks, sprinkler system discharges, toilet overflow, leaking sink, leaking shower, or even something as small as a leaking door or window.

No matter where the water originated from, damage can quickly cause material deterioration, corrosion, rotten wood, and if left wet with a high moisture content to building materials, it can even compromise the integrity of the structure.

Moisture left unattended can promote different types of mold and mildew growth. Some mold can grow in as little time as 48 – 72 hours. This is why it's critical that your home or office begin the drying process within the first 24 – 48 hours of finding the water contamination.

Once finding the water contamination, contact us immediately. The quicker we can respond, the less invasive the drying process will need to be. Just because items within the structure are wet does not mean they are damaged. We use different drying methods along with multiple detection tools to find the source of the problem and correct its effects to the structure. Our Services include (click a heading to expand/contract):

• Determining the Source
  Using penetrating and non-penetrating moisture detection meters, hydrometers and thermal imaging cameras that help us to pinpoint the exact source of the water contamination.
  
• Providing Annual Moisture Detection Surveys
  With this, we provide detailed documentation showing the status of the structure. This prevents a small moisture problem from becoming a large reconstruction problem. CLICK HERE for more information.
• Air Movement
  using high velocity air movers, axle air movers and air injection machines that give us the ability to create air movement in the largest of areas and to the smallest of cavities, bringing dry air to wet surfaces. Air movement between subfloors and hardwood flooring is possible with our air movement equipment giving us the ability to dry what was once impossible.
  
• Dehumidification
  With refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifier units that can remove hundreds of gallons of moisture per day from building contents and structural components.
  
• Heat Drying
  Using electric, and self contained gas heating systems that can speed up the evaporation process and sometimes dry structures in less than 24 hours.
  
• Documentation
  With detailed charts showing moisture content and relative humidity in affected areas. These readings are taken from the first day to the completion of the drying, showing the progress of the drying.
• 24-hour Emergency Response
  Call (336) 656-3583. Trained and certified IICRC technicians with years of experience are ready for service 24 hours a day.
