Process of Identify the Source of the Problem

1. Process of Identify the Source of the Problem RESTORBYDSM.COM

2. 1. Identify the Source of the Problem From the very beginning, we do a thorough examination using specialized moisture-detection meters, probes, and sensors to determine the extent of the damage so we can develop an effective plan for returning your property to its pre- loss condition. We inspect and tag items for your insurance company and provide photographic documentation.

3. 2. Evaluate Carpeting Based on the amount of damage, we may be able to leave the carpet and pad in place to dry. In more severe cases, however, we will remove the pad to prevent microbial growth and create a better environment for dehumidification or possibly replace both the carpeting and pad. www.servicemasterrestore.com

4. 3. Evaluate Other Flooring We will then evaluate your tile, vinyl, laminate or hardwood floors to determine whether these areas can be effectively dried or if it is more cost effective to replace them. During this process we often have to remove the flooring to address moisture trapped beneath the surface and determine whether the subflooring needs to be dried or replaced. www.servicemasterrestore.com

5. 4. Evaluate Walls, Ceilings, and Cabinets In many situations, removing baseboards is required to address moisture trapped between the baseboard and the wall. We may also drill holes in walls, sheetrock and ceilings to allow trapped moisture to escape, prevent microbial growth and limit further damage. Still, in many cases, drywall and sheetrock will need to be replaced. www.reallygreatsite.com
