At this stage of the process, our focus is on containing all active water damage and removing excess moisture from the environment. Our technicians will deploy commercial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and water extractors, all working together to remove standing water, dry structural materials, and stabilize humidity levels. This phase is critical to prevent further deterioration and microbial growth. It's important to note that no demolition can begin until proper moisture levels are confirmed and we have conducted any required testing for asbestos, lead paint, or other environmental hazards, in full compliance with local and state building regulations. By following these safety standards, Elite Service Contractors ensures that every restoration begins on a clean, legal, and responsible foundation.
