We will need to determine the type of water that has affected your home so we can start the cleanup and restoration process accordingly. Following a water damage, all affected materials and content will need to be removed or properly dried and disinfected. 

The types/categories of water that are involved will be determined by some of the following:

• Is it water from rain, condensation, leaky pipes, etc.?

• Is it water from dishwashers, washing machines, toilets, etc.?

• Is it water from sewage or serious flooding from nearby rivers, etc.? - This water can cause serious health problems.
