Tip: Do not enter flood-affected areas until professionals say it’s safe!

3. Drying, Dehumidification & Content Drying 🌬️📦

Hidden moisture breeds mold and weakens structures. Nomac Restoration uses industry-leading methods to ensure a thorough dry-out:

• Strategic Placement: Air movers and industrial Dehumidification units target wet areas.

How long does it take?
Most properties are dried in 3-7 days, depending on the extent of water damage and environmental conditions.

4. Cleaning, Sanitizing & Infection Control 🧽🦠

Water damage can leave residues, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. We get your space clean and safe:

• Surface Cleaning: All affected flooring, walls, and contents are cleaned and sanitized.
• Infection Control: Hospital-grade disinfectants eliminate pathogens. We follow CDC and IICRC standards.
• Mold Remediation: If mold is detected, we contain and remove it safely using HEPA filtration and professional protocols.
• Odor Removal: Persistent smells? Our deodorization process makes your home feel “like new.”
