A part of mitigation after water invades a home’s interior, water damage cleanup helps ensure that the area is once again sanitary and poses no threat to health. In the cleanup phase, we remove contaminants and anything harboring contaminants. We also eliminate remnant moisture and dispose of any debris cluttering the area.
Our Cleanup Services Remove Pollutants & Moisture
Removing unsalvageable carpeting and other flooring, carrying soaked particleboard furniture out to the dumpster, rolling up saturated insulation, or making flood cuts to drywall and putting the pieces into black plastic bags can make it seem like your house is falling apart. Instead, we are doing the opposite – protecting your residence by removing compromised material that will only cause worse damage.
Our Approach to Safe Water Damage Cleanup
When grey or black water washes throughout a home, our cleanup process will directly reflect that. We will wear specialized gear to protect us from contamination as we make durable surfaces sanitary again by scrubbing or washing with towels, sponges, brushes, mops, and other cleaning tools. Our techniques work well for walls, floors, wood and metal furniture, countertops, and similar structures. We use stiff brushes, HEPA vacuums, and antimicrobials sprayed onto the surfaces for soft materials, like your family’s bedding, cushions on the sofa and chairs, and other hard-to-remove items.
How Cleanup Improves Air Quality and Reduces Odors
Our goal throughout this phase is to eliminate viable spores, bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. One of the immediate and positive side effects of water damage cleanup is the reduction of bad odors. Residents notice the change, as it is pretty significant. Air scrubbers and topical treatments take odor neutralization a step further. Desiccant machines and other machinery that help dry a residence also reduce the number of odor-causing molecules in the air. Our cleanup services significantly improve indoor air quality.
Proper Disposal Habits Protect the Environment
One aspect of our cleanup services is the disposal of anything compromised by dirty water. Several things require specific handling to protect the community and the environment. We adhere to any regulations or standards addressing such items. For example, motor oils and other fluids, paint, adhesives, solvents, and batteries require specific disposal.
Saving Items That Matter Most
For belongings impacted by water damage but showing potential for restoration, restoring such items saves money and time over replacing those same items. It helps create continuity from before the event to after we complete the home restoration. Some items we might restore include sturdier furniture, household textiles, small items (jewelry, knick-knacks, and decorations), and many children’s toys.
