We treat all leaks — anything from roof leaks to a toilet break.
First, water is extracted, and the area is sanitized with an anti-microbial agent and dried out. Drying typically takes 3-5 days. During those 3-5 days, we check the moisture levels daily to ensure the levels are dropping. We use up-to-date equipment and moisture meters to ensure all water has been discovered. Once the relative humidity has dropped below the required saturation level, the equipment is removed, and repair of the damaged area is conducted.
