Detailed Emergency Damage Restoration Offerings in Decatur

Firefighting Water Cleanup

After a fire, firefighting water soaks ceilings, walls and floors well beyond the burned area. That water is extracted and those rooms are dried.

Mold Remediation Services

Materials with mold after a leak are removed in a contained area, and the framing is cleaned and dried before rebuilding.

Structural Drying Services

Air movers and dehumidifiers dry walls, subfloors and framing after extraction, with readings taken daily until each material is normal.

Storm Damage Repair

Storm water is cleared from ceilings, walls and floors, and wet insulation and drywall are removed where needed so the structure can dry.

Emergency Water Extraction

Removing standing water within hours keeps it from wicking higher into walls and soaking further into subfloors.
