Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Inspection & Assessment
We map visible/hidden moisture with infrared cameras and calibrated meters, then present a clear plan and estimate.
Water Extraction & Removal
High-capacity pumps and extractors remove standing water from floors, basements, and crawl spaces to stop secondary damage.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers pull moisture from walls, flooring, framing, and insulation. We record daily moisture readings until dry standards are reached.
Cleaning & Sanitizing
Repairs & Reconstruction
We coordinate licensed NJ contractors for drywall, flooring, insulation, trim, and finish restoration as needed.
Final Inspection
A moisture audit and walkthrough confirm your property is safe, clean, and fully restored — with documentation for your insurer.
