Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    A rapid response team arrives to assess the situation, identifying the extent and category of water involved using thermal imaging and moisture mapping.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    Using industrial-grade equipment, we swiftly remove standing water to prevent further damage to flooring and substructures, focusing on affected crawl spaces and slabs.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying

    Air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers are deployed to reduce moisture levels, preventing mold growth and ensuring all areas are dry. Special attention is given to potential vapor barriers.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Mold Prevention

    Once dry, antimicrobial treatments are applied to all surfaces to prevent mold and sanitize areas, especially crucial in previously submerged crawl spaces.

  5. 5

    Final Inspection and Documentation

    A thorough inspection confirms all moisture is eliminated. Documentation is completed for both internal records and insurance claims, ensuring all steps meet IICRC S500 standards.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Oakland homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
