Water & Sewage Extraction

Water is the number one cause of damage to properties. It can result from pipe failure, natural disasters or numerous other manmade or natural events. While water damage from a broken pipe is commonly covered in a conventional insurance policy and national flood insurance covers water from natural disaster, few realize that their coverage isn't adequate for many other causes of flooding-causes that often go overlooked by property and home owners, such as water run-off or sewage backups.
There are 3 categories of Water Loss: Clean Water, Grey Water and Black Water-commonly referred to as Category 1, 2 and 3.
Clean Water (Category 1) is generally the result of a broken water line, appliance water line, sink or tub overflow, broken toilet tank, rain water, etc. Called Clean Water because the source is likely not a source of contaminants. While passing through a property, Clean Water can quickly become classified as Grey Water.
Grey Water (Category 2) may contain contaminants or bio-pollutants such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, and is found to be a result of damage from aquariums, appliance waste lines, waterbeds, toilet bowls, and other such water containers. As with other classifications, a Grey Water situation can quickly become a Black Water classification, as microorganisms that cause illness or breed disease are spread.
Black Water (Category 3) poses the most serious risk of contaminations and can be caused by rainwater that has passed over a source that has a negative effect on human health such as oil from a parking lot, pesticides from a yard, raw sewage from a broken waste line, chemicals, etc.
No matter what the source, Flood Response will assess the risk, measure the extent of damage and determination the classification of water loss to provide the most adequate and safest treatment available to restore your property.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

When a property has undergone extensive water damage, structural drying and dehumidification are required to eradicate water accumulation and future damage that can occur as a result. Flood Response uses dehumidifiers, thermal drying systems and other leading-edge technologies to remove moisture from the air, while air movers are used to wick away moisture and dry building materials. Thermal Imaging Cameras are also used, allowing us to see hidden pockets of moisture in the structure to be dried out, thus preventing the growth of harmful fungus such as mold.

Mold Remediation

Mold can grow and spread just about anywhere moisture and a food source are present: walls, carpet, floors, insulation and wood, to name a few. Exposure can cause a variety of health problems as well as allergic reactions. To protect the health of occupants, Flood Response removes and eliminates future mold growth beginning with assessing the way a structure was built, evaluating humidity levels and controls, and recommending and repairing any structural deficiencies.

Flood Response provides preventative measures as well as structural and content assessment to prevent the further spread of mold. Mold remediation includes evaluation of the affected area (where either mold or moisture are present), effect on health and safety of occupants, creating a remediation strategy and performing the abatement process. We are committed to providing the utmost care to ensure proper maintenance as required, restoring the property to be declared safe for occupants, as well as the containment and removal of affected materials.

Board-up, Security Fencing & Site Stabilization

When damage occurs, few people are in the right frame of mind to take additional precautionary measures to protect their property. Flood Response's team of emergency service professionals can asses any hazardous situation after a loss, and protect the property by covering roof openings, boarding-up open doors and windows, shoring up unstable structures, and surrounding the area with temporary fencing to secure it from intruders. These services not only protect the property itself, but also protect the owner's potential liability by keeping the area as safe and secure as possible.

Demolition Debris Removal

A clean job site is our priority. Flood Response is dedicated to serving our clients by ensuring we maintain a safe and clean job site immediately following a property loss. Removing both unsightly and hazardous debris is the first step in the restoration process, and is one of the ways we provide our clients with the professionalism they deserve as we strive to restore functionality and normalcy as quickly as possible to their damaged property.

Smoke Residue Removal

Even after a small fire is put out, the damage left in its wake can be overwhelming. A fire doesn't necessarily have to burn a structure extensively to require a thorough professional clean-up. Smoke may travel throughout the ductwork system and affect an entire building. Even a light smoke residue should be treated properly and not smeared onto the surface, in order to prevent a lingering odor and damage from potential chemical makeup of the soot residue.

Flood Response's professional team can help identify salvageable personal items, classify their condition and arrange for proper cleaning and storage of these items. We also provide a comprehensive, detailed inventory of items that remain, including proper documentation, photos and video for all contents listed to ensure proper processing with your insurance claim.
