EMERGENCY WATER REMOVAL

After a flooding event, removal of the excess water is a crucial step in the mitigation process.  DRS has the training and specialized water extraction equipment to expedite water removal.  That equipment includes the industry's most powerful carpet and pad extractor, making it possible to remove up to 97% of the water from your carpet and padding.  Don't pull up your flooded carpet until you've talked to us.

STRUCTURE DRYING

Even a small amount of water can migrate beyond your flooring and absorb into structural materials such as drywall, framing, finish carpentry, insulation and cabinetry.  Without the use of specialized moisture meters, this type of structural moisture is very hard to identify until permanent damage is done.  If called soon enough, DRS can locate and effectively identify and dry your structure.

HARDWOOD FLOOR DRYING (click to read more...)

Water can have catastrophic affects on hardwood flooring.  Hardwoods react slowly to moisture and often don't begin to show signs of damage until they've been wet for a few days.  Wet hardwood flooring can take weeks or months to dry naturally, allowing more than enough time for fungal growth on the underside of the wood planks.   DRS' wood floor drying systems can quickly and safely dry your hardwood floor investment.

IR (Infrared) Thermography

IR thermography is a state-of-the-art inspection method for professional water damage restoration.  The evaporative cooling effect of water on structural materials allows otherwise invisible damage to be identified and dried.  DRS was the first restoration firm in Nebraska to use infrared for diagnosing water intrusion into buildings and considers it a must for proper monitoring of the drying process. 

Mold Removal

Mold growth inside a structure is simply water damage that has gone untreated.  In the unfortunate event that you discover mold growth in your home or business, DRS can help.  Although it's not our core business, water damage restoration firms must be trained and educated in mold contamination.  DRS is IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) AMRT certified to remove mold from your water damaged building materials.
