Our Process

  1. 1

    Assessment and Safety Precautions

    Our team first conducts a thorough assessment to gauge the extent of the sewage damage. Safety is paramount, so they take precautionary measures to protect homeowners and our crew before proceeding.

  2. 2

    Sewage and Water Extraction

    Using powerful pumps and vacuums, we extract sewage and standing water from the affected areas. This immediate removal minimizes water damage and begins the process of salvaging the property.

  3. 3

    Drying and Dehumidification

    We deploy air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure and eliminate moisture. Low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers and air movers target water hidden beneath floors and behind walls.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Odor Removal

    To ensure safety and cleanliness, we apply antimicrobial treatments and advanced cleaning agents. This process eliminates harmful pathogens and helps in controlling odors effectively.

  5. 5

    Restoration and Final Inspection

    Following cleaning and drying, we restore affected areas to their pre-loss condition. A final inspection ensures all areas are dry, sanitized, and ready for comfortable habitation once more.

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. Houston homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
