    Water damage assessment and documentation

    Water damage in Charlotte can come from many things, including heavy rainstorms and hurricanes that lead to serious flooding—and not all water damage is immediately visible. Using advanced imaging technology, we can uncover hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, and in other hard-to-reach areas before it causes costly structural issues or mold growth. With over 27,000 properties in Charlotte at a moderate risk of flooding, it’s critical to act quickly when water intrusion occurs. The longer moisture remains, the greater the risk of contamination, structural damage, and expensive repairs.

  • Industrial pumps and vacuums are used to efficiently extract water from your property. Moisture levels in the affected areas are monitored in order to ensure an effective extraction. Once saturated materials cannot be repaired further, they must be removed carefully in order to protect against further damage to the local environment.

    Dehumidifiers and industrial-grade dryers can help remove excess moisture to stop mold growth in Greater Charlotte, where high humidity is common. Dehumidifiers should also be utilized in order to control humidity levels on a property. Water damage restoration professionals must address excess moisture as soon as possible to mitigate further issues.

  • A key part of water damage restoration in Charlotte is cleaning the affected areas to stop mold growth. Professionals perform surface and deep cleaning on surfaces and use air purification techniques to improve the air quality in affected areas.
