Services
Water Damage Restoration
Our water damage specialists respond within 1 hour with industrial extraction equipment and thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture. We dry structures 2-3 days faster using patented drying systems that prevent mold growth. Technicians follow strict IICRC standards for category 1-3 water damage, including sewage remediation with HEPA filtration and antimicrobial treatments.
Mold Remediation
Certified mold inspectors use moisture mapping and air quality testing to identify contamination sources. Our containment protocols with negative air pressure prevent spore spread during removal of affected materials. Post-remediation verification ensures complete elimination of microbial growth through third-party lab analysis and final clearance testing.
Fire Damage Cleanup
We perform complete fire damage restoration including soot removal, odor elimination with ozone treatments, and structural repairs. Our technicians clean contents using specialized solvents and employ thermal fogging to neutralize smoke odors. We coordinate with contractors for rebuilding while maintaining documentation for insurance claims.
