Our fast response to clean and restore water-damaged Olathe homes protects properties from further damage.

Mitigation is the initial wave of actions our professionals take when we are first notified of a water damage incident for a local home or business. Our fast response to emergencies ensures that specific actions targeting the worst damage get started as soon as possible.

Clearing Surface Water Concerns

Initially, water damage mitigation in Olathe homes must target active threats directly like standing surface water. Pooling of any kind is highly destructive to exposed materials and contents, making it a priority to use various extraction tools and pumps to manage this water threat quickly.

Structural Assessments and Repairs

Our experienced professionals must determine the condition of exposed structural elements. After situations like burst pipes, our general contractor license ensures that repairs can get started quickly. These capabilities also allow us to conduct controlled demolition and full-scale build back when restoration completes.

Thorough Drying Solutions

Drying is one of the earliest processes that our professionals want to start. These options help manage surface water concerns and protect the exposed materials in areas where the damage occurred. Key elements in this process include:

• Axial fans
• Centrifugal air movers
• Portable heaters

Mold Prevention Solutions

Another vital mitigating step that our professionals can take to protect your property further and prevent unnecessary harm is safeguarding against the development of mold and microbial threats. With naturally occurring spores in nearly every environment, moist conditions become a breeding ground for colonies. Inhibitors and cleaning products make certain services uninhabitable by active spores and protect against destructive mold development.
