Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

After extensive damage to your home or business, your walls, flooring, and ceiling will most likely require professional cleaning services. In addition to cleaning your property’s structure, we will clean your furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other restorable belongings damaged by the water. Most flooding and water damage also require professional odor removal and deodorization since wet materials have a very distinct odor. We aim to cure the underlying cause rather than creating a temporary solution. Professional sanitation will be employed to create a clean and healthy environment. One element of this process utilizes our air scrubbers to reduce new contaminants entering the environment as a result of the damage. Rest assured, our job isn't finished until the structure is perfectly clean and habitable.
