Water repair or water cleanup is a multi-phase process. PRC will first inspect the area and attempt to stop the water source from creating any additional damage. The next step is to remove all standing water from flooring or the crawlspace. Our professionals will remove any compromised materials which typically include carpeting, carpet padding, baseboards, insulation, clothing, upholstery, fragile woods like plywood or particle board and gypsum containing materials, like sheetrock walls and ceilings. Once the house is clear of any compromised items and all standing liquid is pumped out, the technicians will work hard to dry and disinfect the area. This process takes several days, requiring the use of air mover fans, dehumidifiers and, occasionally, heat injection fans. While the home is drying out, technicians will perform daily visits to monitor the moisture content of the affected areas.
