While doing extensive mitigation work for a house with water damage, our team took great care in putting up protective coverings in doorways and on floor near the damage. They want to keep any particles from construction and the moisture from making its way into other rooms.

With jobs that involve water damage and drying a space, our crew members take a moisture reader to see just how wet something is. We check the moisture levels throughout the drying process to make sure that our equipment is doing it job.

This is a moisture meter.  It detects the amount of moisture in you walls, ceilings and floors.  The floor got wet because of a pipe break.  We used this moisture meter to see how wet the floor was.  As you can see by the picture, the floor was 99.9%.  This floor is going to need immediate drying in order to save it from buckling.

Our crew is getting ready to go mitigate water at a local residence that got sewer water from the recent fall rain. It's a Sunday morning and we are ready to go 24 hours a day.
