Extracting water is the most important step in the restoration process.

The first 24 hours following a water loss are the most important in preventing secondary or permanent damage. Within four hours of receiving a loss notification, a SERVPRO professional will be on-site to help ensure a water damage is handled by completing the following steps.

INSPECTION SERVPRO® professionals will inspect affected areas to determine the extent of water damage and will review the inspection with you to answer any questions before beginning the work.

EMERGENCY SERVICES SERVPRO® professionals will take steps to help protect your home or business, as well as personal property and other contents, from further damage by extracting the excess water and preparing the area for drying. They will explain the needed emergency services to you step-by-step.

MONITORING to help ensure your home or business and belongings are dried to appropriate industry standards, a SERVPRO® professional will monitor the drying process. The updates will be consistently communicated with you.

RESTORATION SERVICES SERVPRO® professionals will repair structural materials, reinstall carpets, and clean affected areas of your property and contents. A final walkthrough of the job site will be conducted with you to help ensure the property was returned to its pre loss condition.
