As professionals in this field, we respond quickly to water damage occurrences to minimize your losses and water damage restoration needs. We cannot stress this fact enough.

We have state-of-the-art equipment and all of our technicians are certified with the IICRC (International Institute of Cleaning and Restoration Certification) and SCRT (Society of Cleaning and Restoration Technical) for water damage restoration and structural drying.

We use moisture detecting devices such as:

• Thermal imaging Cameras
• Penetrating Probes
• Non-Penetrating probes

These devices are used to detect where water has traveled, since water always takes the path of least resistance and can get nearly anywhere in your home or business. We want to be able to test if the moisture has wicked up your walls or gone under your baseboards. It is very important that hidden water be discovered and dried thoroughly. It is very important to make sure these areas are not wet. Dark and damp areas run the risk of microbial growth, odor, and risk to your health.
