How it works

The restoration process

1

Initial assessment

A technician inspects the affected areas of your Universal City property and identifies the source and extent of the water intrusion.

2

Mitigation plan

Based on the assessment, a mitigation plan is put together - what needs extracting, drying, or removing, and roughly how long it will take.

3

Water extraction

Standing water is removed using pumps and extraction equipment, prioritizing areas at the highest risk of further damage.

4

Structural drying

Air movers and dehumidifiers are set up to dry out affected materials, with moisture levels checked periodically over the following days.

5

Sanitization

Affected surfaces are cleaned and treated to address contamination risk and reduce the chance of mold developing afterward.

6

Final inspection

A final check confirms materials are back within a safe moisture range, and documentation is provided for insurance purposes.
