Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Englewood residents
Water leaked between floors in our Englewood apartment—can you handle multi-unit drying?
Yes, we are highly experienced in managing water damage in multi-unit apartment buildings in Englewood. Failures in aging plumbing risers are a common occurrence. Our team coordinates directly with property management to gain access, efficiently extracts water from all affected units, and provides detailed, unit-by-unit moisture documentation. This organized approach ensures that repairs in your Englewood building can proceed quickly with minimal disruption to tenants.
Our Englewood storefront had a leak—can you work after hours to avoid disrupting business?
Absolutely. We understand that for a business in Englewood, minimizing downtime is critical. We frequently schedule our restoration work after business hours, utilizing quiet-mode equipment and setting up professional containment barriers. This strategy allows us to complete the drying process efficiently while keeping public areas of your Englewood storefront safe and operational for your customers during the day.
The bottom of my drywall is wet—does it all need to be removed?
Not necessarily. For many water damage situations in Englewood homes and businesses, we can save the majority of the drywall. Our technique involves removing only the baseboards and then using specialized cavity ventilation systems to blow dry air into the wall. We treat the area with antimicrobials and only repaint once our moisture meters confirm the wall is completely dry, avoiding unnecessary demolition in your Englewood property.
Will you be able to remove the musty smell after the drying is complete?
Yes, eliminating musty odors is a critical part of our process in Englewood. We use commercial-grade HEPA air scrubbers throughout the job to filter out mold spores and particulates from the air. This, combined with a thorough antimicrobial treatment of all affected surfaces, effectively removes the odor. For severe cases, we can also use advanced technologies like hydroxyl generators while the work is in progress to ensure your Englewood property smells fresh and clean.
