water flood 1 Step 1: We first contact the home owner, business owner, or other appropriate personnel to arrange for immediate inspection of the damaged areas.

Step 2: Trained restoration specialists visit the site and assess needs.

Step 3: We remove all standing water with wet vacuums and pumps and dry all surfaces. Interior walls and sub floors are then dried using high-volume air movers to circulate air at high rates of speed.

Water Extraction Equipment

Moisture detectors, hygrometers and other meters measure the extent of moisture saturation.
Infrared camera may be used to identify water location for thorough water removal.
Submersible and gas-powered pumps for continuous pumping of high-level water.

Important documents, works of art, furniture, draperies, computers, appliances, and electric equipment are thoroughly dried and brought back to pre-damaged conditions whenever possible.

Drying Equipment

Drying equipment helps prevent property water damage like swelling and warping of floors, walls and furniture.
Industrial grade dehumidifiers minimize secondary water damage.
High-speed air movers create airflow across walls, carpets, pads and furniture, evaporating moisture.
Some situations call for special drying techniques that require state of the art equipment and training.

Step 5: Professionals trained in the latest techniques then dehumidify the premises to remove airborne particles, mildew, mold, and odor caused by excessive moisture. Finally, the site is decontaminated and disinfected to kill bacteria resulting from organic waste with specially formulated antimicrobial solutions.

Sanitizing and Deodorization

Deodorization products control odors from excessive moisture.

Disinfection products stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms.

In this blog post, we'll discuss the importance of school restrooms, the challenges they face, and some ways to improve them. As mentioned, school restrooms are an essential part of a student's day. Not only do they serve a practical purpose, but they also help create a sense of community. By providing a safe space for students to take care of their needs, restrooms are an important part of fostering a sense of security. Unfortunately, school restrooms are often neglected and suffer from a lack of resources and maintenance. This can lead to dirty and even dangerous restrooms that can cause health problems for students. Often times students communicate the need to wait until they get home to use the restroom. This can be because the restrooms are dirty, lack of toilet tissue or paper towel, or fixtures are broken or inoperable. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to improve school restrooms and create a safe and comfortable environment for students. One way to improve the restroom experience is to be sure the restrooms are regularly cleaned and maintained. This includes ensuring that all facilities are in working order and that any issues are addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the restrooms should be stocked with adequate supplies, such as soap and toilet paper. Ultimately, school restrooms are an important part of the educational experience and should be given the attention they deserve. By implementing these simple steps, schools can create a safe and comfortable environment for their students.
