When furniture is left on damp or wet flooring after a water damage, it can produce stains, as seen here in the picture. When we arrive to help mitigate the situation, we put blocks and pads to lift the items to keep them from sitting on the wet areas and protect the flooring. Sometimes these stains can be removed during a carpet cleaning while other times, the insurance or customer may choose to remove the carpeting.

Winter is coming...words we don't want to hear, but are true. One thing to remember is that you want to do anything you can to prevent ice dams and frozen pipes. This Old House wrote this article to help you do just that! Have a safe and happy winter!

We do our best to not leave trash behind at your home. Instead we utilize dumpsters or Bull Bags that are set up onsite, and then removed within 48 hours of a pickup scheduled. Bull Bags offer the option of being on your grass or driveway, but leave behind no damage. The material allows for water to flow out keeping your grass watered during the summer and helps prevent burned grass.

Secondly, when demo is part of the drying plan, we aim to limit the dust throughout the rest of your home as much as possible.
