Water damage restoration is more than about removing water. Most of the time, water may have time to pass through walls and in the padding of carpet, and if left too long mold and mildew can form causing major health problems for anyone exposed to it.
We repair the structural damage and begin our deep clean process to remove the odor, water, debris, or soot that is involved. Then, carpets and flooring will be installed and walls will be rebuilt.
Healthy Home will go further in ensuring that when we leave your home or business after water damage that it is not only clean, but safe for you and your family. If the damage is extensive, we have our team on stand-by and construction experts that can repair any amount of damage, big or small.
