๐ง Advanced Water Extraction Equipment
Our fleet includes truck-mounted extraction units, portable extractors, industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture detection equipment. We use the same professional-grade equipment trusted by restoration companies nationwide, but with the personal service of a local Maryland company.
Our Proven 6-Step Water Damage Restoration Process
Our systematic approach ensures thorough water damage restoration while minimizing disruption to your life. Every step is documented for insurance purposes:
1. Emergency Response
Within 60 minutes of your call, our certified technicians arrive from our Lanham headquarters with professional equipment to assess the situation and begin immediate water damage mitigation.
2. Damage Assessment
We conduct a thorough inspection using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and hygrometers to determine the full extent of water damage and develop a comprehensive restoration plan tailored to your specific situation.
3. Water Extraction
Using powerful truck-mounted and portable extractors, we remove standing water quickly to prevent further damage. Our industrial-grade equipment can extract thousands of gallons per hour, significantly faster than standard equipment.
4. Structural Drying
We strategically place commercial dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to create optimal drying conditions. Maryland's humid climate requires specialized drying techniques - we monitor moisture levels daily until complete dryness is achieved.
5. Cleaning & Sanitizing
All affected areas are cleaned and sanitized using EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth and eliminate odors. Personal belongings are cleaned using specialized techniques appropriate for each item type.
6. Restoration
The final step involves restoring your property to pre-damage condition or better. This may include minor repairs like drywall replacement or major reconstruction projects - we handle it all with our licensed contractors.
