From Standing Water Call to Documentation

Every standing water removal call in Elkhart follows the same documented IICRC protocol. Average on-site response: 45 minutes. The phases run in order because each one depends on the last one being finished right.

1. Inspection & Moisture Mapping — Thermal imaging and pin-type moisture meters identify the full extent of water intrusion, including hidden moisture in wall cavities, subflooring, and ceiling assemblies that visual inspection alone would miss.
2. Water Extraction — Truck-mounted or portable vacuum extractors remove standing water and surface moisture from carpet, padding, hard surfaces, and confined cavities. Effective extraction reduces total drying time by hours or days.
3. Structural Drying — Calibrated low-grain refrigerant or LGR dehumidifiers paired with axial and centrifugal air movers create a controlled drying environment. Equipment counts follow IICRC chamber-math formulas based on cubic footage and saturation level.
4. Antimicrobial Treatment — EPA-registered antimicrobials are applied to affected surfaces to prevent microbial growth during the drying period and to neutralize any organisms already present in Category 2 or Category 3 water.
5. Final Verification & Documentation — Daily moisture logs, photographic records, equipment receipts, and final dry-to-baseline readings are compiled into a documentation package for your insurance adjuster and your records.

• Low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers — Industrial dehumidifiers calibrated for water damage drying, capable of pulling moisture out of structural materials at low ambient humidity levels.
• Axial and centrifugal air movers — High-velocity airflow placed according to IICRC drying chamber math (typically one mover per 50-75 sq ft of affected area, plus additional units for confined cavities).
• Pin and pinless moisture meters — Direct moisture content readings on wood, drywall, and masonry, used to verify dry-to-baseline targets before equipment is removed.
• Thermal imaging cameras — Identify hidden moisture in wall cavities, ceiling assemblies, and behind cabinets that visual inspection cannot detect.
• HEPA air scrubbers — Filter airborne particulates and microbial spores from the work environment, especially during Category 2 or 3 water cleanup.
• EPA-registered antimicrobials — Applied to affected surfaces to prevent microbial growth during drying and neutralize any organisms in contaminated water situations.
