WATER DAMAGE

CLEAN EARTH FLOOD and CARPET, INC. goal is to get your property back together for you as soon as possible. Our first priority is to limit further loss and damage. Our second priority is to hasten THOROUGH drying of structure and contents to help prevent mold. We will try to minimize disturbance to you, however some inconvenience may be inevitable.

WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION MAY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

  • Work authorization agreements signed.
  • Moisture detection to determine the extent of damage. We check all surfaces including walls, carpets, sub-flooring, and crawl spaces as needed.
  • Water extraction, if needed.
  • Move and block up furniture as needed.
  • Application of safe deodorizer, disinfectant to inhibit bacterial growth and mildew in carpets.
  • Set up drying equipment.
  • Monitor drying equipment and drying progress. THOROUGH drying typically takes 3-7 days, but can take longer.
  • Paperwork for insurance company and owners.

Once THOROUGH drying is complete, we can proceed with the following:

  • Repairs of all types, if needed.
  • Reinstall carpet and pad.
  • Clean affected carpeted areas.
  • Move and reset furniture as required.
  • Final inspection and sign off.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRYING EQUIPMENT

  • Do not turn off the equipment until our technicians tell you the areas are dry.
  • Keep the room temperature at 70 degrees minimum and 90 degrees maximum. This may include the usage of your air conditioning system to keep temperature below 90 degrees. The dehumidifier will only function properly if the room temperature is remained between 70 - 90 degrees.
  • If an air mover must be moved, unplug it and wait until the fan stops.
  • If the carpet with an air mover under it begins to move vigorously (flop a lot), turn of the air mover and call us.
  • If windows must be opened for fresh air, open a minimal amount so as not to slow the drying process.
  • The drying equipment is designed to run 24-hours a day. If you see there is a problem (unusual noise or hot odor), unplug the unit and call our office.
  • Do not let unattended children or pets around the equipment while in operation.
  • You may be asked to empty the dehumidifier water collector, if you are able.
  • If the equipment must be turned off to sleep, turn it back on as soon as possible. The longer the equipment runs, the sooner it will be gone
