Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment and Inspection

    Upon arrival, our team conducts a thermal imaging inspection and moisture mapping to identify all areas affected by flooding. This critical step helps in categorizing the type of water involved and determining the class of water loss, enabling a targeted and effective response plan that addresses potential problem areas fast.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    Using industry-grade equipment, we remove standing water quickly to prevent secondary damage. Our high-capacity pumps and wet vacs are tailored to efficiently handle significant volumes like those common in Sacramento floods, ensuring that water is not only removed from flat surfaces but also from absorption points like carpeting and subflooring.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying and Dehumidification

    Our experts deploy air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers to reduce moisture content and stabilize the indoor environment, crucial in Sacramento’s variable climate. We monitor progress with daily moisture meter readings and relative humidity checks, keeping track of ongoing changes in the environment to adjust tactics quickly if needed.

  4. 4

    Cleaning and Sanitization

    Affected areas are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial agents to eliminate contaminants, especially important if category 3 'black water' or sewage has been involved. Sanitization prevents mold and restores air quality by ensuring that harmful microorganisms are neutralized, particularly in common living areas and HVAC systems to prevent further air quality issues.

  5. 5

    Restoration and Reassessment

    Finally, we repair damaged structures and reassess for any remaining moisture areas. This step includes replacing salvageable materials and ensuring your home is safe and fully restored to its pre-flood condition, all while adhering to the scope of work agreed upon previously, bringing your home back to life and ensuring it meets both aesthetic and safety standards.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Sacramento homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
