How We Restore Your Property


Water damage restoration experts begin by assessing the extent and source of the water damage. Experienced professionals use thermal imaging and other sophisticated tools to detect hidden damage or mold growth. Using this data, they develop a plan specifically designed for your San Luis Obispo property.

Once a damage assessment has been conducted, the next step is to drain away water from your property with industrial-grade vacuums and pumps. This step is especially crucial in coastal cities such as San Luis Obispo. To guarantee the efficacy of the extraction, we use moisture detection tools to identify any lingering moisture.

Water-only removal of carpet water isn’t enough to prevent damage. Professionals employ industrial dehumidifiers and dryers to extract excess moisture. This prevents mold growth and helps protect against long-term structural damage.

The final step is cleaning and restoring the property. Surface and deep cleaning techniques are used to kill bacteria and stop the spread of mold, while filters help purify the air and remove unpleasant odors.
