To any business, water damage can be a disaster regardless of the amount of water involved. Water damage can happen at any time and to any structure. Time is of the essence to reduce the amount of damage sustained and to help get your business back up and running as quickly as possible.
Despite the best preventative efforts, water has the ability to affect commercial property with devastating results. Since water saturates everything is touches, almost immediately it works silently to seep into walls, floors and furniture potentially causing massive amounts of damage. It is imperative to extract standing water within the first 24-48 hours of a flood in order to reduce the favorable environment in which mold and other microbes can breed and grow.

Services.us Restoration’s Water Damage Restoration and Cleanup Process Includes:
- First, a Services.us Restoration Specialist & first responder crew will arrive on site and immediately begin to remove the excess water & establish a proper drying plan to fit the needs of each particular damage situation.
- The Services.us Restoration Specialist will begin by identifying the affected areas: by using special instruments such as thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters and thermo-hygrometers, the Services.us Restoration Specialist will survey every inch of the property to determine where and how much damage has been sustained.
- The next step is identifying the category of water damage: 3 categories exist. Clean Water, Gray Water and Black Water. Learn more
- The final step to establishing a drying plan is identifying the class of water damage: 4 classes exist numbering 1 to 4. Learn more
- Once your approval has been given, the next step is to remove all traces of standing water. Even an inch of water left standing for too long can lead to the breeding of bacteria causing mold and mildew. Secondary damage is prevented by using dry down methods that quickly eliminate excess water.
- Next, the moist and damp environment is stabilized by using large high capacity air dehumidifiers and high velocity air movers to extract damp air that can cause further growth of mold and mildew. Fresh and dry air is blown back into the environment to stabilize and dry the air further.
- The structure is safely monitored daily to ensure restoration to pre-damage conditions.
- Carpets and flooring are replaced, and all surfaces are cleaned and dried.
- When the water damage restoration process is complete, your contents are returned to their original surroundings. If you prefer, you may choose to have them stored in our storage facilities until the restoration process is complete.
