Step 2: Inspection and Water Damage Assessment
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
SERVPRO of North Clackamas/Happy Valley wants to make your water damage process as smooth as possible. When either the customer or the insurance calls a job into SERVPRO of North Clackamas/Happy Valley, we schedule your initial inspection immediately. Our trained technicians will arrive on time and begin our detailed inspection of your residence or commercial space. This includes checking the source of the loss, all areas of your residence or commercial space to check for moisture within the floor, walls, cabinets, and ceiling as well as taking measurements. This allows us to make a plan of action that will make your space look “Like it never even happened.”
Identify and Stop the Water Source
We will check for the source of moisture in your home or business. The source must be stopped before any restoration or drying of the building can be successful.
- Stop the Source
- Check for Contaminated Water
Identify the Type of Water
We will identify the category and classification of water damage to ensure our professionals restore your property based on industry guidelines. The level of contamination of the water will affect the specific restoration processes we use.
- Category 1: "Clean Water"
- Category 2: "Gray Water"
- Category 3: "Black Water"
Survey the Extent of the Water Damage and Inspect the Premises
We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. In addition, we will inspect for safety concerns that may be evident. If there are any safety issues like lead or asbestos, please bring them to our attention.
