At MRC Restoration, our team understands the urgency of addressing water damage promptly. Once the source of the leak has been identified and stopped, we swiftly move into the water extraction and drying phase. This critical step involves removing standing water and reducing moisture levels to prevent further damage and potential mold growth.

• Direct Water Removal: Our technicians utilize powerful truck-mounted or portable pumps, wet/dry vacuums, and other specialized equipment to extract as much standing water as possible from the affected areas.
• Air Movement and Dehumidification: After the visible water has been removed, we employ a strategic combination of high-velocity air movers, axial fans, and dehumidifiers to promote rapid evaporation and moisture removal. This process helps dry out saturated materials, such as carpets, walls, and structural components.
• Monitoring and Adjustment: Throughout the drying process, our team closely monitors moisture levels using specialized meters and sensors. We make adjustments to the equipment placement and settings as needed to ensure efficient and thorough drying.

To expedite the drying process and prevent secondary damage, we may also implement additional techniques, such as:

1. Removing Wet Materials: Saturated materials like insulation, drywall, or flooring may need to be carefully removed to facilitate drying and prevent mold growth.
2. Controlled Demolition: In severe cases, controlled demolition may be necessary to access and dry out hard-to-reach areas or structural cavities.
3. Freeze-Drying: For delicate items like books, documents, or photographs, we offer specialized freeze-drying services to stabilize and preserve these materials during the drying process.

Our team remains on-site, monitoring progress and making adjustments until optimal drying conditions are achieved. We understand the importance of thorough drying to prevent long-term damage and ensure a successful restoration.

Cleaning and Sanitization

Remediation is the next crucial step, which involves cleaning, drying, deodorizing, and sanitizing salvageable materials, while removing unsalvageable items. At MRC Restoration, we follow a comprehensive cleaning and sanitization process to ensure the affected areas are restored to a safe and healthy condition.

1. Debris Removal: Our team carefully removes any debris, damaged materials, or contaminated items that cannot be salvaged. This includes saturated insulation, drywall, flooring, or other porous materials that may harbor mold or bacteria.
2. Surface Cleaning and Disinfection: We use specialized cleaning solutions and techniques to thoroughly clean and disinfect all affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and structural components. Our antimicrobial treatments help eliminate potential mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms that could pose health risks.
3. Deodorization: Water damage can often leave behind unpleasant odors. Our team employs advanced deodorization methods, such as thermal fogging or ozone treatment, to neutralize and eliminate stubborn odors from the affected areas.
4. Content Cleaning and Restoration: We understand the sentimental and monetary value of personal belongings. Our team meticulously cleans and restores salvageable items, such as furniture, electronics, documents, and cherished possessions, using specialized techniques and equipment.

Reconstruction and Repairs

After the cleaning and sanitization process, any damaged building elements must be reconstructed or repaired. Our team of skilled contractors and specialists work diligently to restore the affected areas to their pre-loss condition, ensuring a seamless and high-quality finish.
