Inspection and Assessment

The type of storm or disaster determines what actions we need to take and what equipment we use. Tornadoes and torrential rains can cause severe water damage. Lightning strikes can cause devastating house fires. When you call us, one of our representatives gets an idea of what type of support you need and dispatches a team that is prepared to handle your crisis. Once your Project Manager and crew is onsite, they immediately assess the damage so everyone can get started.

All damages are thoroughly evaluated, and depending on the extent of damages; you may be required to relocate during the restoration process. Your Project Manager and crew handle everything needed to complete a quick and organized move-out process. Once everything is secure, and out of the way, the cleanup process can begin.

Water Removal

In the Midwest, it’s not uncommon for water damage to occur when storms hit your home or office. If water damage is discovered, we quickly begin our water extraction process. Our crews at SERVPRO of Olathe / Lenexa are well-prepared with on-hand equipment such as powerful wet/dry vacuums, which can quickly extract water. When exposed to moisture, mold can grow rapidly. Extracting water right away can help prevent mold damage. After eliminating as much water as possible, we use our high-powered air movers and fans. State-of-the-art drying and dehumidifying techniques can help give your home or office healthy and clean results.

Handling your Personal Belongings with Care

When large storms strike, you’ve likely watched as news helicopters fly over businesses and homes that endured significant destruction. Open roofs and sides of structures are often completely exposed, as you see personal belongings blown throughout the home and yard. Rest assured, the construction of your home isn’t our only priority - the loss you’ve suffered is often much more personal.

At SERVPRO of Olathe / Lenexa, we strive to preserve your items. Personal possessions, including antique or vintage items, are something that you never want to part with. We do our best to restore irreplaceable photographs and documents using one or more advanced drying and dehumidification processes.

Contents Claim Inventory Service
