Santa Ana Water Damage Restoration
Anything more than a few square feet of wet carpet is an emergency. That’s because even without major flooding water quickly quickly makes its way through flooring, up walls, and into the structure. Harmful levels of moisture can last for weeks but damage such as mold, warped wood, and drywall disintegrating can get going in as little as 24 hours.
Following ANSI/IICRC S500 and other standards and guidelines (https://www.iicrc.org/standards/iicrc-s500/) we’ll use moisture meters and IR cameras to locate hidden moisture then move on to water mitigation. In cases of significant or natural flooding, that includes debris removal and extensive cleaning and disinfection. We’ll complete water extraction from building surfaces (walls, ceilings, and floors) then move on to structural drying with advanced dehumidifiers and other specialized equipment. Finally, we’ll take care of repairs to complete your water damage removal.
Unique in Santa Ana we’re specialists in wood floors. After water extraction, we’ll deploy floor mat systems that vacuum out even more moisture through seams then set up an e-Tes system of plastic tents and electric heaters for controlled drying. This is a great example of our mitigation-first approach, with the big dollar and disruption savings over ripping out and replacing the hardwood floor.
Santa Ana Mold Remediation
Mold can grow hidden in complete darkness, so don’t underestimate its extent nor its risks to health. It’s a real problem, especially for today’s “tighter” energy-efficient buildings, discoloring paint and wallpaper as well as destroying porous building materials. Releasing spores and other contaminants it triggers allergies, flu-like symptoms, and asthma attacks. And certain species, not just black mold, also release highly dangerous toxins.
Following ANSI/IICRC S520 (http://www.iicrc.org/standards/iicrc-s520/) and EPA guidelines as well as OSHA requirements we use isolation, HEPA air filters, and negative-pressure exhaust to prevent contamination of surrounding areas as we follow industry best-practices for mold removal and crawl space cleaning. We’ll also extend mold abatement to surrounding areas and remove musty odors. Our crews can also repair mold damage, replacing drywall, trim, ceiling tiles, flooring, and so on.
Fire Damage Restoration
Fire damage restoration is about as tough as it gets, covering the range of our full-service capabilities. So it’s not the least bit surprising if beyond a sense of loss you’re feeling overwhelmed looking over the scene. Starting with an assessment by a certified inspector our crews begin making any needed structural reinforcements and securing building openings with tarp overs and build-ups. Then they’ll take care of remaining fire restoration tasks such as debris removal, repairs, demolition, and reconstruction. When fire hoses or fire sprinklers are involved in water damage restoration and mold remediation become major concerns. If so, our water damage restoration technicians will be there right away.
Smoke and Odor Removal
In almost every instance smoke and fire odor removal will be a major part of the fire damage restoration effort. Smoke can permeate the entire building, including areas far from the fire as well as inside appliances and electronics. Toxic to humans and pets, smoke also contains acidic compounds that quickly discolor, stain, tarnish, and corrode a wide range of materials including fiberglass and Formica, walls, trim, and hardware, and plumbing fixtures — even tile, porcelain, and glass. It’s difficult to remove and requires our certified technician’s expertise to do the job right and recover as many items as possible. Our dry-ice blasting equipment quickly removes smoke, soot, and char from building surfaces.
Crime and Trauma Scene Cleanup
Our biohazard cleanup specialists as well as our certified cleaning and restoration technicians are ready to quickly and discretely take care of trauma scene cleanup including unattended death, suicide, accident, and crime scene cleanup. There’s no need for you to face the unpleasant scene — and considering health hazards such as blood cleanup you shouldn’t.
Sewage Damage Restoration
Flash floods and rising waters bring soil bacteria, viruses, and fungi and a sewage backup are even more likely to bring disease-causing organisms. Gross and technically “grossly unsanitary” IICRC Category 3 (“black water”) flooding calls for exceptional precautions by the sewage cleanup crew and absolutely thorough cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. Whether from sewer damage of a blockage, our sewage remediation specialists have everything covered, including proper Santa Ana transportation and disposal.
