Our office staff, Tracy and Rhonda, will answer your call and dispatch our water clean up crews.

A water disaster can happen any time of day or night. Our company operates 24 hours a day – 365 days a year. Our staff is highly trained in IICRC standards for emergency water clean up and restoration. Each water damage is different, and our team understands what is happening and what needs to be done. After discussing the situation an estimator will be dispatched to your home or business to begin the mitigation process.

Our crews understand using the proper equipment makes a difference in properly and efficiently drying down your structure to reduce time and expense. Scoping the area of the water damage involves locating all the areas of the structure into which water has intruded. They will also determine how much moisture has been absorbed into the structure and the contents in the home. The crews use detection devices such as:

Moisture Sensors are used to detect moistures in carpets and carpet padding.

Moisture Meters are used to determine the actual moisture content of various materials. SERVPRO crews use this meter to test the moisture in daily until there is no moisture detected and the area has been dried completely.

Thermo-hygrometers measure both temperature and relative humidity. Capturing these two readings and using a psychrometric chart it will calculate specific humidity, dew point and vapor moisture.

Infrared Cameras can identify the location and extent of moisture in walls very effectively.

Manometers are used to measure the difference in air pressure when creating a negative air pressure environment.

After the crews have determined the areas that have been affected by water using the different detection equipment the clean up process begins.
