Wood flooring in your home that has been damaged by water must be continually evaluated by qualified technicians during the drying process. We use professional-grade drying systems and dehumidifiers to create the ideal environment for wood floors to dry efficiently, and optimally to resume their original shape. Depending on the density of hardwood flooring and the type of finishes used, complete drying may take up to three weeks or longer. If you file a claim, your insurance adjuster will work with you to make the final decision as to whether the floors in your home will need to be refinished or replaced.
Depending on the extent of the fire or smoke damage, it may be advisable to move all your belongings to a secure facility for cleaning and storage, and to make room for restoration or construction. ServiceMaster Restore will work with you and your insurance claim representative to manage this process seamlessly.
Disinfection services should be considered for your business or commercial property whenever there is a potential risk of contamination from pathogens or other harmful substances. This could include situations such as an outbreak of an infectious disease, rodent feces and other pathogens. Our highly trained technicians are equipped to properly remove and dispose of contaminants, reducing the risk of spreading them to other areas and ensuring the safety of your employees, customers and visitors. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to protecting your business and the health of those in it. Prevention is key when it comes to potential hazards.
