Extract
Large-loss extraction on carpet tile and hard floors.
Dry in phases
Containment and drying planned around open hours.
Report
Moisture maps and logs by area for the claim.
Keeping the business running
The crew works in phases, drying one area while another stays open where safety allows, and runs louder equipment overnight when the space is closed. Containment separates the work area from customers and staff. Desiccant dehumidifiers and large air movers handle open floor plans and commercial carpet tile.
