Antimicrobial treatment is applied to framing and subfloor with extra attention given the higher mold risk below grade.

"Our sump pump failed during a storm and they not only cleaned up the water but explained exactly why the pump failed." — Carla D.
"They saved most of our finished basement drywall by only cutting where the moisture readings showed a problem." — Reggie F.
"Found a foundation crack we didn't even know we had. Glad they checked instead of just drying and leaving." — Nadia S.
We diagnose which of these applies before starting cleanup.
Sump diagnostics are included so the same flood doesn't happen again.
No, we assess materials individually and only remove what moisture readings confirm is saturated.
Basements dry slower due to higher natural humidity levels compared to upper floors.
A specific staining pattern along a wall often points to a foundation crack, which we check for.
