When you call our local Staunton, VA team, you can expect a rapid, systematic approach to protect your property and prevent further damage.

Step 1: 24/7 Emergency Contact & DispatchThe moment you call, our team is activated. We'll ask key questions to understand the situation and dispatch a crew to your Staunton, VA home, often within the hour.
Step 2: Damage Inspection & AssessmentOur certified project manager will arrive and immediately assess the scope of the water damage. We use tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to find all hidden water. We'll identify the water source, determine its category (clean, gray, or black water), and develop a safe and effective restoration plan.
Step 3: Emergency Water ExtractionWe use powerful, truck-mounted extraction units and submersible pumps to remove thousands of gallons of standing water quickly. This step is critical to preventing secondary damage and mold growth.
Step 4: Drying & DehumidificationAfter the standing water is gone, the moisture in materials like drywall and wood must be addressed. We strategically place high-velocity air movers and industrial-grade dehumidifiers to create a powerful drying vortex, pulling moisture out of the air and all affected materials.
Step 5: Cleaning, Sanitizing & Odor RemovalWe thoroughly clean all restorable surfaces. Depending on the water category, we use professional-grade antimicrobial and sanitizing treatments. We also use specialized equipment to remove any lingering odors, ensuring your home is clean and healthy.
Step 6: Restoration & ReconstructionThe final step is restoring your home to its original condition. This may involve minor repairs, like replacing drywall and painting, or major reconstruction, like rebuilding entire rooms. Our skilled team can handle the entire process from start to finish.
