When water damage strikes, make the call to SERVPRO of Bartow County for A-to-Z cleanup and restoration.

Each day, around 14,000 Americans experience some type of water damage in their home. While this number can be overwhelming, you can rest assured that if it happens to you, your local SERVPRO team will be there to help you. We know what disasters can do to a home and the havoc it can create in your personal life! That’s why we are readily available at any time of the day and ready to help.

To help ease your mind, here’s a look at our patented water damage restoration process, compiled after decades of experience:

- Emergency Contact -

Once you call us in the wake of your emergency, we will ask important questions so that we can get a better understanding of your situation. Then we will set up a time to get to your home so that we can assess the damage and work out a plan for how to move forward.

- Water Damage Inspection & Assessment -

When our technicians arrive, they immediately get to work. They start by closing off the main water source. Then they’ll walk through your house and property, doing an assessment of the damage and identifying hazards. Once this assessment is complete, they’ll provide you with a defined plan for next steps.

- Water Removal -

The longer water sticks around, the more damage occurs. Step one is ridding your house of standing water. We do this by using powerful pumps and extraction tools to get rid of hundreds and even thousands of gallons of water. This speeds up the drying process and reduces the risk of mold growth.

- Damaged Material Removal -

While we always do our best to restore as much as possible, water damage will render some materials and possessions unusable. Those items will be removed from your house quickly to provide space for other items to dry out efficiently.

- Cleaning, Sanitizing & Deodorizing -

Water can cause a powerful odor, and one that will not go away on its own. We use machines that can remove contaminants from the air of your home, and this will help clean your home but also sanitize and deodorize it.

- Drying -

Once the standing water is gone, moisture often lingers. We use specialized equipment to restore normal moisture levels in your home. By doing this, we can help reduce the risk of mold growth in your home.

- Monitoring -

We will set up our equipment to help extract any remaining water or moisture that is still in the home. While we do that, we will stay in constant contact so that you don’t feel abandoned. We will make stops by your home to oversee the equipment and ensure that the project is moving at the rate we wish for.

- Repairs & Construction -

Just because your home is dry doesn’t mean the work is complete! In fact, the work is only beginning. At this final step, we will work to restore any issue your home is still having, whether it’s something minor or a major rebuild.
