Water Damage Cleanup and Drying

Water damage cleanup and drying for basements and crawl spaces that removes standing water, pulls wet materials and dries the structure before mold can settle in.

When water gets into a basement, time matters. Carpet pad, drywall and wood can hold moisture for days, and mold can start growing in a day or two in warm, humid conditions. A quick cleanup and a thorough drying plan can save a lot. After a heavy Nashville storm, many basements see an inch or two of water from a failed sump pump, a clogged drain or a window well that overflowed, and fast action makes the difference between a messy day and a major repair.

We first make the area safe, which may include shutting off power to wet areas and checking for contaminated water. We pump or vacuum standing water, remove soaked carpet and pad and take out wet drywall and insulation that cannot be saved. We set air movers and dehumidifiers and use moisture meters to track drying until readings return to normal. We clean and disinfect where appropriate and document the work with photos that may help your insurance claim. Then we fix the cause, whether a pump, a drain or a leak, so the next storm does not repeat the story.
