The Principles of Water Damage

When it comes to water damage, the IIRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification) sets high standards for restoration companies conducting water damage restoration services in your home or business. Based on these standards, the following are SERVPRO of Manahawkin’s 5 Principles to getting the job done...  

1. Provide for the Safety and Health of our Staff and Occupants. 

The scene of water damage can become a dangerous and unhealthy environment quickly. We value the safety of our employees and customers.  

2. Document and Inspect. 

To fix the problem, we must know the problem. Our experts make sure to learn the extent of the damage and source of the water intrusion. Inspections continue throughout the mitigation process because checking our work is important to getting the job done right! 

3. Mitigate any Further Damage. 

The goal of mitigation is to control damage from moisture or other contamination. We identify the source and extent of the damage you have and put preventive measures in place to arrest the process ultimately avoiding further damage.  

3. Clean and Dry Affected Areas. 

Our goal is to reduce the time that materials are excessively wet. The faster we achieve dry conditions in your home or business, overall damages will be minimized.  

4. Complete the Restoration and Repairs. 

SERVPRO of Manahawkin is a full-service restoration facility. We service Ocean County New Jersey and our experienced team can also provide repair services, to truly help make it “Like it never even happened."
