Occupant and worker safety is ServiceMaster Restore’s top priority. During the initial inspection, safety hazards are identified and addressed, including debris removal, air quality, electrical issues, slip and trip hazards, etc. Burnt electrical appliances are separated out for disposal, and questionable electrical appliances are unplugged and tagged for evaluation of safe operation. Electrical power may have to be turned off until evaluation by a licensed electrician is completed.
We understand the importance of safety and cleanliness in your home, especially when dealing with potentially harmful biological waste or pathogens. That's why our highly trained technicians use specialized products and equipment to properly remove and dispose of these hazards. Before beginning any cleanup process, our team will isolate the affected area to prevent further contamination and damage to your home. We also take extra care to remove any unsalvageable items before thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the space, leaving it safe and livable for you and your family. Trust us to handle the biohazard cleanup process with precision and care, allowing you to have peace of mind in the safety of your home.
Drying time after water damage in your commercial property is determined by a combination of factors including the location, duration and source of water; the types of building materials in your facility; weather conditions; and how quickly emergency services are started. Through consistent monitoring and evaluation of the drying process, our trained technicians can determine when the drying is complete. For example, carpet may feel dry to the touch, but padding and subfloors may still be wet underneath. While there are no hard and fast rules to determine how long your property will take to dry, we can tell you it may take between three and five days or more, depending on the conditions.
