Roto-Rooter’s Water Damage Cleanup Process and Equipment
Our water damage restoration team is trained to the highest industry standards as established by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). This means Roto-Rooter’s water damage cleanup processes follow all IICRC guidelines for cleanup, drying, decontamination, and restoration.
Contain Water Damage
Roto-Rooter’s water damage cleanup process in living areas of a home is to install floor protection and barriers to contain damage to the affected areas, control the environment, and prevent cross-contamination of unaffected areas of the home or business.
Extract Water & Sewage
Roto-Rooter will use powerful, professional-grade water extraction vacuums to remove all water and sewage from the affected zone.
Remove Unsalvageable Contents
We’ll remove all unsalvageable contents from the area. This may include wet and contaminated carpeting, padding, and other flooring, as well as saturated drywall, insulation, and furniture. The type of water contamination (clean water, gray water, or black water) will determine what can be salvaged and what cannot.
Sanitation
We’ll clean and deodorize all affected areas. If microbial growth, including mold, is suspected, an indoor environmental professional will test the area. If necessary, Roto-Rooter’s certified microbial remediation experts will complete mitigation work to rid the structure of bacteria and prevent future growth. Our sanitation efforts go beyond surface cleaning to include air purification with professional air purification equipment, which eliminates odors, airborne spores, allergens, pathogens, and other contaminants.
Drying
Roto-Rooter’s team will install special air movers and dehumidifiers, which will be left in place for a prescribed amount of time to dry all salvageable contents and the structure itself. Our crews will closely monitor the drying process with electronic moisture sensors to track progress and ensure that everything is thoroughly dried to IICRC standards.
Equipment Removal and Inspection
When the drying process is completed, we’ll remove our equipment and perform a final inspection of the space to ensure it is ready for any necessary reconstruction.
Common Causes of Water Damage
No matter the source, our 24/7 water damage restoration services ensure a fast response to prevent structural issues and mold growth.
