Once the mitigation process is complete, our team can then begin the Cleanup phase of the process. This is where the drying and dehumidifying of the property is done, making sure that the remaining water on any surfaces, flooring, or walls is dried out or removed completely. This phase can take a few days to a few weeks and involves placing industrial-strength drying fans throughout your home. After drying and dehumidifying, your water damage restoration team will make sure that all surfaces, flooring, and walls have been cleaned and sanitized thoroughly, using hospital-grade sanitizers to kill any remaining bacteria or contaminants that may still remain. Once our team is satisfied with the results and the moisture levels are at an acceptable range, we will get your sign-off before moving onto the water damage repair and rebuild phase.
