Water

TeamiDry – your property recovery contractor plays a critical role in helping people recover from a flooded home or building by offering expertise, resources, and services to restore the property to a safe and livable condition.

We work closely with insurance companies and adjusters.  We work for you and don’t rely on insurance referrals and leads for our business. That way you can be sure we are focused on taking care of you – not the insurance company or Third-Party Administrator.

Here’s how we assist in the recovery process:

1. Assessment and Inspection

Damage Assessment: A contractor begins by evaluating the extent of the damage caused by the flood. This includes assessing structural integrity, identifying safety hazards, and checking for hidden water damage that may not be immediately visible.

Insurance Documentation: They help homeowners or property managers document the damage for insurance purposes, providing reports, photos, and detailed descriptions to ensure the claim process goes smoothly.

2. Water Extraction

Removing Standing Water: The first step in recovery is extracting water from the flooded property. Contractors use specialized equipment like pumps, vacuums, and industrial-grade dehumidifiers to remove as much water as possible to prevent further damage.

Mold Prevention: Elevated levels of moisture are a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Quick water extraction and moisture control are key to preventing mold growth.

3. Drying and Dehumidification

Drying Out the Building: After water removal, contractors use commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to dry out the structure, including walls, floors, and ceilings. This process helps prevent long-term damage like wood warping, peeling paint, or rusting metal, and mold.

Air Quality Management: Contractors may also use air scrubbers to filter out contaminants from the air, such as mold spores, bacteria, and other harmful particles that can result from a flood.

4. Cleaning and Sanitizing

Cleaning Surfaces and Belongings: A disaster recovery contractor will clean and sanitize all surfaces, including carpets, and other personal items that may have been affected by the flood. This step is important for health and safety, as floodwaters may carry contaminants.

Odor Removal: They may also use special deodorizing equipment or treatments to remove any lingering odors caused by the flood.

5. Coordination with Insurance and Other Services

Insurance Claims Assistance: TeamiDry will assist homeowners with navigating their insurance claims, ensuring that they receive the proper coverage and compensation for the damage and recovery.

TeamiDry provides critical and valuable expertise, and key resources to mitigate the damage caused by flooding, ensure the safety of the property.
