How to address Your Utah flood and water damage
Assess the damage
We immediately determine what type of water has caused the damage as it will determine how Flood Pros attacks the water damage emergency. Moisture meters and infrared cameras allow us to quickly locate the source and location of wet surfaces. Besides to obvious damage, our professionals can help you assess additional damage, the type that is hidden or not immediately accessible, the type that could cause structural damage and long term expenditures.
Extract and Dry Immediately
The EPA advises that you begin restoration of Water Damage within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth. We use high-powered water extraction equipment combined with industrial strength Air Movers and Dehumidifiers to ensure fast and efficient drying. Timely intervention of our mitigation services will keep contamination to an absolute minimum.
Odor Removal
Even clean tap water when left standing will begin to generate unpleasant odors after just a few hours. Using advanced thermo-foggers and EPA approved botanically based disinfectants, we will neutralize particles as small as 50 microns. The penetrating fog reaches into cracks and voids touched by water and moisture and leaves them fresh and odor free.
Mold Remediation if Needed
If any sign of mold is detected, we begin a four-step process to eradicate mold growth on surfaces and in the air. First we seal off the contaminated area and establish Negative Air pressure. Second we remove the affected materials, such as moldy drywall and particleboard, or employ the dry and sand method for wood studs and framing. Third, we provide a HEPA Vac treatment to remove all unseen bacteria and settled spores from furniture and household items, and in crawl spaces and HVAC systems. Lastly, every surface is disinfected with negative ion technology to remove minute airborne particles.
