Common questions
Can a business stay open during water damage mitigation?
Often parts of it can. We work room by room and set up equipment so unaffected areas stay usable where it is safe.
What is a flood cut?
Removing the bottom section of wet drywall, usually 2 to 4 feet up, so the wall cavity can dry and any hidden damage can be seen.
