Flood Restoration

Our 6 Phase Process

We have the largest and most experienced team of technicians in Idaho. We efficiently restore your property after flood damage, minimizing disruptions to your life. At Disaster Kleenup, we consistently invest in the latest disaster cleanup technology, specialized training, and advanced equipment to ensure thorough and proper repairs. We restore residential and commercial properties by taking the following steps to expedite a swift recovery:

Phase 1.

Secure & Access

Upon arrival, we will obtain your authorization to begin mitigation services on the flood damage of your property. We evaluate all affected areas, beginning with the source, to establish the initial scope of work and outline the best course of action.

Phase 2.

Water Extraction

We begin by extracting water to stop the spread of moisture. In a carpeted area, the wet carpet and padding may need to be removed and disposed. Any wet insulation, ceiling tiles, dry wall and all other absorbent materials will also be removed.

Phase 3.

Mold & Mildew Prevention

DK will apply an EPA–approved antimicrobial treatment to affected areas, inhibiting any bacterial reproduction. Rapid response reduces the risk of structural damage and mold. This treatment deodorizes as it sanitizes, and is safe for children and pets.

Phase 4.

Dehumidification

We strategically place industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to accelerate evaporation. In addition, DK monitors moisture levels to ensure the drying process is proceeding correctly and rapidly in order to prohibit mold and mildew growth.

Phase 6.

Reconstruction

Once mitigation is complete, our team of professional contractors will begin reconstruction of walls, floors, ceilings, structural elements and woodwork to their pre-loss condition. We want your home to match your memory of it before the flood damage.

Phase 5.

Personal Property Cleaning

We understand that every item in your home is precious and they will receive our greatest care. DK’s advanced facilities are dedicated to cleaning and eliminating bacteria from your belongings. This process will also eliminate mold growth and odors.

Water Damage

IS WATER REMOVAL COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?

Insurance coverage depends entirely on your insurance policy. If your basement flooding is caused by a flooded toilet or broken pipe then the answer will most likely be yes. If the flooding is caused by rainfall, you may need a flood restoration policy. Your insurance company can provide you with a definitive answer.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DRY?

Depending on a variety of conditions, most properties take an average of 3-5 days to completely dry. Continuous operation of professional drying equipment along with monitoring and adjustments made by a Disaster Kleenup team member will ensure the quickest drying outcome for your space.

HOW DO YOU MONITOR THE DRYING?

Our certified mitigation technicians will take moisture readings to determine moisture levels in the affected areas. Throughout the drying process, a representative from Disaster Kleenup will schedule periodic checks so they can monitor moisture readings and adjust equipment to accelerate drying.

IS IT SAFE TO STAY ON-SITE DURING THE DRYING PROCESS?

Noise and wind velocity created by air movers are sometimes bothersome. However, it is safe to stay on-site unless instructed otherwise by your insurance company, your Disaster Kleenup representative, or your physician if you have unique medical circumstances. When in doubt, call us for advice.

WHY IS THERE A STRANGE ODOR?

Even if the source of water that caused your flood is fresh, many property owners notice a strange smell following water damage. What you smell is bacterial off-gassing odor from building materials, furniture, dormant spills or possible pet accident areas. Most odors dissipate as the humidity drops back to normal levels. Additionally, we apply antimicrobial treatments to reduce bacterial growth and eliminate odors.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER A FIRE?

Mold Remediation

WHAT IS MOLD?

Mold is a microscopic organism that grows on plant or animal matter. It serves the important environmental function of breaking down dead material and recycling nutrients. To reproduce, mold produces spores that can spread through insects, air, or water. Under the right conditions, the spores feed on moist textiles and materials, multiplying and spreading.

IS MY HOME PRONE TO MOLD?

Virtually any home is prone to mold. All it needs to grow is sufficient moisture and organic material. Mold often grows when humidity, condensation, or a water leak comes into contact with drywall, carpet padding, or tile.

WHAT SYMPTOMS INDICATE MOLD EXPOSURE?

The symptoms of mold exposure are similar to seasonal allergy symptoms. Headache, skin irritation, throat irritation, cough, respiratory problems, nasal and sinus congestion, and eye irritation are very common symptoms of mold exposure. Individuals with a respiratory illness or compromised immune system are at a high risk for health problems from mold exposure.

CAN I BECOME SICK FROM MOLD?

Some individuals will become sick from exposure to mold. Symptoms are very similar to the flu, and often, challenging to diagnose. If you feel you are experiencing adverse health conditions as a result of mold exposure, contact your primary care physician, or a certified medical practitioner that specializes in biotoxin exposure, such as the specialists at One Wellness.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A MOLD PROBLEM EXPOSURE?

If you notice a furry, slimy, or discolored patch in the home, or detect a musty odor, you might have mold growth. Mold commonly grows in window moldings, shower curtains, air conditioners, bathroom tiles, and areas prone to water.

HOW DOES MOLD REMOVAL WORK?

We recommend professional mold cleanup for any amount of mold growth, slight or excessive. The earlier you catch it and take action, the quicker the restoration. Mold cleanup involves identifying and correcting the source of the water, discarding affected materials, and cleaning the area with industry-standard, antimicrobial disinfectants.

WHO IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT?

The property owner is responsible for payment. If you have filed an insurance claim, DK will collect your deductible at the time of service. The day following your loss, you can expect a call from our manager of new accounts, making sure we have all the information to quickly and accurately submit your claim and set up your account. Your DK estimator will take care of working with your insurance company, ensuring the claims handling process runs as smoothly as possible.

Sometimes mold can hide in covered areas that you may not notice, like behind appliances, wallpaper, or under flooring. If you have concerns that mold is lurking in your hidden corners, call DK. We have more than 50 years of mold remediation experience. We’ll even come to your home and evaluate the area at no cost to you.
