Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Once our crew has determined that all moisture has been removed from the property, we continue on to another step to make sure everything looks, smells, and feels "Like it never even happened." Wet materials have a very distinct odor that doesn't usually go away when the moisture has been removed. Professionally deodorizing your home or business is part of our process as well as professionally cleaning your furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other restorable belongings damaged by the water. Our team of cleaning experts work with you to clean and restore the things that are most important to you.
