Six county outlines, the six this business covers, projected from the service area geometry. The latitude and longitude grid, the scale bar and the north point are computed from one affine projection fitted by least squares to the county centroids of the source geometry, with a largest residual of about two statute miles at this plate scale. Five of the six river courses are named in the county file and the Pompton is named on the Wayne record in the town file. The mark BM 1 is the computed centre of the six counties, not a street address. The rain cells and the sweep are a seeded drawing that shows the plate is live. They are not a weather feed and no forecast is claimed.

    What we handle

    Water damage is the primary business, with mold remediation and carpet, rug, upholstery and duct cleaning by the same team. Every job is performed at your property, any hour, by appointment.

    • 01

      Water Damage Restoration

      Emergency extraction, structural drying and insurance documentation.

      The EPA drying window for wet materials is 24 to 48 hours before mold risk rises.

    • 02

      Mold Remediation

      Inspection, containment, removal and written verification.

    • 03

      Carpet Cleaning

      Hot water extraction, dry the same day.

      Most carpet is walkable in about two hours and dry the same day.

    • 04

      Rug Cleaning

      Fiber appropriate cleaning for wool and delicate rugs.

      Wool holds water for days, so a rug is dried fully before it goes back down.

    • 05

      Upholstery Cleaning

      Fabric appropriate cleaning, read by the cleaning code.

      The W, S, WS and X codes on the label decide the method.

    • 06

      Air Duct Cleaning

      HVAC cleaning after a water loss or mold, to the NADCA standard.

      After a water loss or mold, the HVAC can move spores through the whole house until it is cleaned.

    • 07

      Restoration and Reconstruction

      Putting back what the water took out, after the drying is signed off.

    Scene four, the reading

    Category and class, in plain language

    The S500 standard sorts water by how clean it is (category 1 to 3) and how much of the room is wet (class 1 to 4). The category decides what is dried in place and what comes out; the class decides how much drying equipment the room needs.

    Category 1. Clean water from a supply line. Often dried in place if reached quickly.

    • Category 1Clean water from a supply line. Often dried in place if reached quickly.
    • Category 2Gray water from an appliance or overflow. The pad usually comes out.
    • Category 3Contaminated water from ground water or sewage. Porous materials come out.

    8.4 Percent WME, drawn DRY

    Illustration of how a wall reads after a loss, not a live measurement. Water wicks up from the base, so the reading climbs as the probe drops toward the tide line and stays high below it. On a real job a technician reads the same wall daily with a meter and writes the figures down.

    Typical drying times after a water loss.
    SurfaceTypical time
    Carpet, walkableAbout two hours with airflow
    Carpet, fully dryThe same day in most homes
    Structural dryingThree to five days, read daily
    Wool area rugDried fully before it goes back down

    Standing water is extracted the same day. The times above are read with moisture meters, not guessed.

    What is under a wet floor

    Layer 01

    Carpet

    Most carpet is walkable in about two hours and dry the same day.

    Category 1. Clean water from a supply line. Often dried in place if reached quickly.

    Layer 02

    Pad

    Under the carpet is the pad, and it holds water long after the surface feels dry.

    Category 2. Gray water from an appliance or overflow. The pad usually comes out.

    Layer 03

    Subfloor

    Structural drying runs three to five days, with the readings taken daily.

    Category 3. Contaminated water from ground water or sewage. Porous materials come out.

    Layer 04

    Slab

    The EPA drying window for wet materials is 24 to 48 hours before mold risk rises.

    Nothing below this line dries, which is why the reading above it decides the job.

    The extraction

    Standing water is extracted the same day.

    The morning after

    Then the meters go in, and the readings are written down every day until the room is at the dry standard.

    Odor, mold and pet stains

    What we stand behind

    We back the work with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, and we do not mask an odor: a lingering smell means material is still affected or still wet, so the source is removed and dried rather than covered.

    The team is IICRC certified and family owned since 2010, and the same crew that dries a loss cleans the carpet and the ductwork after it.

    Field notes

    Three plates from a water loss

    Every mark on this page is drawn. There is no photograph on it, because there is not one verified photograph of this crew, this equipment or this work to put here yet.

    Photograph slot. Three real job photographs belong here, one for each plate, taken on a job with the customer permission. Until the owner supplies them this page shows drawings and says so, because every image on the old site was made by a generator and none of it shows this crew.

    Excellent job with the mold remediation in our building basement storage & conference room. They completed the work quickly after discovering mold on the wall. Their work was thoroughly done and their pricing was very fair.
