The Water Damage Restoration Process
How Restoration Technicians Clean Your Kansas City Home
All it takes is a small pipe leak to pour gallons of water into your home. Within hours or days of exposure, carpeting, drywall, and hardwood can be thoroughly saturated and become breeding grounds for mold and contaminants. While a Kansas City homeowner's first instinct is to get rid of the damage, there may be more to the damage than they can easily detect.
Staff That is Trained to Handle Any Size Disaster
SERVPRO is always available to address disaster within hours of your initial contact. Crews never go into a disaster cleanup scenario without a plan and the means to execute it and restore your home to its preloss condition.
Crew chiefs, project managers, and production managers alike are experienced in guiding Kansas City property owners through the mitigation process. They can do an initial inspection of the situation in your home.
The initial inspection can involve the use of a variety of moisture measurement technologies, including:
? Thermal imaging cameras to see behind structures
? Nonpenetrating moisture sensors to assess surfaces
? Thermo hygrometers designed to measure air temperature and humidity
Ready When You Are
No matter what size disaster strikes in your home, SERVPRO trucks are fitted with the gear necessary to remove water damage effectively. However, the work does not start without your approval, and we strive to coordinate with both you and your insurance adjuster to make restoration as smooth and stress-free as possible.

We clean all of the restorable items and structures damaged by the water. We are adept at cleaning contents using a number of techniques. Our professionals are trained to provide sanitizing treatments and to remove odors and deodorize your property.
