Emergency Burst Pipe Cleanup
Emergency cleanup begins with shutting off the water and power to flooded rooms, then pumping out standing water right away.
Burst Pipe Mold Prevention
Drying quickly after a burst pipe is the main way to limit microbial growth. Framing that stayed wet can be treated with an antimicrobial once dry.
Water Damaged Floor Removal
Flooring is lifted where readings show water underneath, and the subfloor is dried and checked for soft spots.
Flooded Room Drying
Each flooded room gets air movers aimed at the floor and lower walls, and dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the air.
Wet Drywall Removal
Wet drywall left in place after a large flood tends to sag, crumble and smell, so removing it often saves time and money.
