Our IICRC Certified Technicians are experts in helping homeowners navigate their property damage

Water mitigation refers to the process of properly drying, cleaning, and restoring a home or business back to preloss conditions after some type of water damage has affected the property.  Proper water mitigation efforts can keep your project's costs lower and get back to normal sooner.  Every water loss is unique and requires both the skill and knowledge to navigate the loss. Our IICRC certified-trained technicians can handle water mitigation in Midway regardless of the size or scope of the loss.  We know what to look for in both residential and commercial losses to help prevent secondary damage due to hidden damage such as:

• Floor damage – There could be hidden damage lurking under the surface. If you notice wood or laminate floor that is buckling or cupping, linoleum peeling, or grouted tile loosening, then you may have an issue that calls for professional restoration.
• Wall damage – Swollen walls become a telltale sign that water is a problem from within. Before bloating, walls may also present with peeling paint, cracking, bubbling wallpaper, or feel soft to the touch.
• Mold damage – Due to the potential for health effects, mold is never anything to ignore. Any damp, dark areas of your Midway property should be inspected regularly. If you ever notice musty odors of visible mold, this points to a moisture issue that must be addressed carefully.
