Step 2: Inspection and Water Damage Assessment
A thorough inspection of the home and assessment of the water damage will be conducted so SERVPRO of Hurst-Euless-Bedford technicians can determine the proper scope work. Also, the water source must be identified, turned off and be checked for contamination before the drying process can begin.
The category and classification of water: Category 1/Clean, Category 2/Significantly Contaminated and Category 3/Grossly Contaminated must be identified to restore your home and belongings safely to industry specifications. SERVPRO of Hurst-Euless-Bedford will identify the category of water to determine the specific restoration processes used to safely restore your property.
A structural assessment is the most important step to assist the technician with a plan of action. Drywall, ceilings, attic, roof, bathrooms, and bedrooms are just a few areas to be checked during the assessment. Our technicians will check all areas with thermal imaging cameras to find all the hidden water.
