Water Damage Restoration

Water Extraction

Our high powered water extraction equipment really sucks! (in a good way)

• Any standing water will be forcefully extracted using a portable water extractor and light wand attachment. This initial extraction of the affected area will contain further migration of water within the structure decreasing drying time mitigating further damage.
• Deep Extraction: a sealed or weighted tool will remove maximum amount of water from materials such as carpet and pad, this will save building materials, increase evaporation, and reduce drying time. (This saves you and your insurance co. money!)
• Water removal by extraction is 12 times more efficient than evaporation alone.

Inspection

• During the initial inspection, we determine the extent of water damage which allows us to formulate and implement an effective restorative drying plan.
• Moisture meters allow us to map the extent of water migration, and determine degree of saturation of affected materials.
• Initial temperature, relative humidity, and specific humidity readings are taken to be used for comparison during the drying process.
• Ongoing inspections will be conducted throughout the drying process to assess changes in the drying environment.

Dehumidification

This is how we take water vapor out of the air. Our standard is to get the relative humidity below 60% quickly to prevent secondary damage to your home.

• We use cutting edge low grain refrigerant industrial dehumidifiers that are engineered for the demands of water damage restoration.
• These high tech units operate extremely efficiently removing up to 130 pints of water per day while conserving electricity use at the job site. They also allow us to remotely monitor the drying progress.

Air Movers

• We employ DRI-EAZ Jet CXV axial air movers. An extremely efficient and powerful unit that pushes air at 3200 CFM (cubic feet per minute) while drawing only 3 amps of electricity. (Comparable units commonly used by competitors push only 2250 CFM while drawing up to 7.2 amps!)
• Also in our air moving arsenal are DRI-EAZ Sahara HD Turbo Dryers. These units are specifically designed to dry carpets and walls. It has the ability to push air around corners creating a continuous flow of air throughout the structure.
• We can use these air movers with interair drying attachments that allow us to effectively dry inside wall spaces, behind cabinets, under hardwood floors, and in other structural areas, saving time and reconstruction costs.
• Additional assets in the air moving arena are the high powered Vortex Axial Fans. These help create negative pressure in water damaged areas that will prevent cross-contamination to other parts of the structure. These fans can also be utilized in an open drying system to introduce warm dry air from outside when weather conditions permit, further expediting the restoration process.
