Water Damage Restoration
When we respond to a water damage emergency, we begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property to assess the damage. This initial evaluation helps us understand the scope of the problem and enables us to create a customized restoration plan.
Locate and Stop the Water Source
We identify the source of the moisture in your home or business and ensure it’s stopped before we begin any drying or restoration efforts.
Evaluate Water Contamination
We determine the type and level of contamination of the water to guide our restoration strategy according to industry standards. The water's category and classification will influence the specific methods we use.
Category 1: "Clean Water"
Category 2: "Gray Water"
Category 3: "Black Water"
Assess the Damage and Inspect the Property
We thoroughly assess the extent of the water damage and check how far the moisture has spread to ensure a complete restoration. Additionally, we perform a safety inspection to identify any potential hazards, such as lead or asbestos. Please inform us if you’re aware of any such concerns.
Move or Protect Furniture
To protect your furniture and belongings, we move items or place blocks under them to prevent rust stains or damage from the wet carpet.
Water Extraction Process
After the initial inspection and damage assessment, we begin the water extraction process, which removes the majority of the water from your property. Using powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units, we efficiently extract hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water to minimize further damage.
Move-Out / Pack-Out Services
If your home requires significant restoration or cleaning, we can handle an organized move-out to protect your belongings from additional damage during the restoration process.
Emergency Water Removal
Our trained technicians start the water removal process as soon as possible. Depending on the volume of water, we may use heavy-duty submersible pumps along with industrial-grade wet/dry vacuums. Removing the majority of the water not only speeds up the drying process but also helps prevent secondary damage, including mold and bacterial growth.
Use Submersible Pumps and Industrial Wet/Dry Vacuums
Carpet and Pad Inspection
We inspect the carpet and padding to determine if they need to be removed to prevent further damage to the subfloor.
Inspect Carpet and Remove if Necessary
Water Removal Equipment
We use advanced moisture detection tools, such as hygrometers and moisture meters, to assess the extent of moisture saturation. Infrared cameras may also be used to detect hidden water behind walls and ceilings. For continuous water removal, we rely on submersible and gas-powered pumps, along with truck-mounted and portable extraction units for optimal efficiency.
Drying and Dehumidification
Once the excess water has been removed, the floors and walls might appear dry, but a closer inspection will show they are still damp. Materials like wood, drywall, and flooring are porous and tend to hold onto water. If this moisture isn't properly removed, it can cause the materials to weaken, warp, or even promote mold growth.
Drying Process and Dehumidification
Our specialists will take measurements of the room's temperature, humidity, and size to determine the right number of air movers and dehumidifiers needed for efficient drying. We will monitor the process closely using moisture meters to ensure the materials reach the desired moisture levels.
Monitoring the Drying Process
We regularly check the moisture levels in the floors and walls to ensure the drying is progressing as planned.
Monitor Floors
Monitor Walls
Drying Equipment
Heavy-duty dehumidifiers are used to prevent secondary damage, such as swelling or warping of floors, walls, and furniture. High-powered air movers create airflow over carpets, walls, pads, and furniture, which helps speed up the evaporation process.
Contents Restoration and Cleaning Services
Your walls, flooring, and ceilings will likely need professional cleaning. In addition to restoring the structural elements of your property, we will also clean your furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other salvageable items that have been damaged by water. Water damage often requires specialized odor removal, as damp materials tend to produce a strong, lingering smell.

Your mold, exposed.
Any home or business can quickly develop a mold infestation if there is a water source present. Mold can begin to spread within 48 hours. Since mold can produce allergens and irritants, it's important to contact us for an inspection if you suspect a mold issue. If mold is found, we have the proper training, equipment, and expertise to effectively remediate the problem.
For more information on mold and what to do until help arrives, be sure to review these mold damage tips.
Understanding Mold
There is a lot of confusion surrounding mold and mold remediation. Some restoration companies claim to remove all mold from a property, but this is not possible. Mold spores are naturally present both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float through the air and can enter your home or business through windows, HVAC systems, or even on your clothing or pets. Here are a few key things to know:
Mold is present almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors.
Mold spores are tiny and float through the air, entering your property through windows, doors, HVAC systems, or even hitching a ride on your clothes or pets.
Mold thrives on moisture. When exposed to water, these spores can grow into colonies, producing allergens and irritants.
Before mold remediation can begin, the source of moisture must be addressed. If the moisture problem isn’t resolved, the mold may return.
Mold often produces a musty odor, which can help you identify affected areas.
High indoor humidity levels can also promote mold growth. It's ideal to keep humidity levels below 45% to help prevent mold issues.
The Mold Remediation Process
Every mold infestation is different, from the extent of mold growth to the types of materials affected. Each case requires a customized approach, but the overall process remains the same. The following steps outline our standard procedure for mold remediation:
Emergency Contact
Inspection and Mold Damage Assessment
Mold Containment
Air Filtration
Removal of Mold and Contaminated Materials
Cleaning of Affected Belongings and Contents
Restoration
Common Mold Misconceptions
Understanding indoor mold can be challenging, especially with sensational news coverage and misleading ads that confuse the issue. By educating yourself on the facts about mold, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of both the problem and the remediation process.
You may have seen alarming news reports about the dangers of “black mold” or “toxic mold.” These stories can often be overwhelming and confusing, so it’s important to understand the facts about mold to separate myth from reality.
Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly known as “black mold,” does produce allergens and irritants, but many other types of mold can also cause similar reactions. Regardless of the type or color, all mold should be treated with caution—avoid affected areas and do not touch or disturb the mold.
How Can I Identify Black Mold?
Since various types of mold can cause health issues, it’s important to contact us, no matter the color or appearance of the mold. In many situations, multiple types of mold can be present in the same home or building. If you suspect mold, it’s best to contact SERVPRO of University Park immediately.
Handling Fire Damage
Fire and smoke restoration should begin immediately, as smoke residue (soot) is acidic and can cause lasting damage, including corrosion and staining, if left untreated. An essential part of the restoration process is odor removal, as smoke smells can linger on clothing, furniture, carpets, and even within air ducts.
Cleaning up after a fire can be a lengthy and challenging process, which is why you need professional help. Our fire damage restoration team is experienced in thoroughly cleaning and deodorizing affected areas, including walls, ceilings, and air ducts.
If not properly addressed, smoke particles can remain trapped in materials, causing the odor to persist long after cleanup. Our team uses advanced, safe techniques to eliminate odors and restore your property and belongings to their pre-fire state.
Don’t delay—contact us as soon as possible to begin the restoration process.

How Our Experts Get It Done
Moisture, in the form of liquid or vapor, is a major factor in mold growth. It provides the perfect environment for fungi to thrive. By managing moisture properly, we can prevent and control mold in your home or business. When mold does occur, our experienced remediation team is ready to restore your property.
We are frequently referred by doctors, legal professionals, and environmental specialists for our comprehensive, health-focused mold remediation. We adhere to the ANSI/IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation and implement the latest updates in every project involving sensitive environments. Our process strictly focuses on removal—no antimicrobials or encapsulants are used. We only use dish soap to clean and break surface tension during remediation.
Our supervisors and technicians are highly trained in using engineering controls, containment methods, low-dust removal techniques, and proper debris disposal. Above all, we are empathetic to the specific needs of our clients and sensitive to the unique circumstances they may be facing.
In addition to mold remediation, we also handle repairs to the source of water intrusion and carefully restore both the interior and exterior surfaces affected by mold. Whether you’re dealing with health concerns, legal disputes, or real estate issues, we provide the expertise and extra care required in these situations. Let our dedicated team support you through the process.

With our extensive experience in fire and water damage repair, we work to prevent further destruction and save you money, while ensuring a quick and comprehensive recovery.

Failing to follow proper procedures can expose you and others to serious health risks, while spreading microscopic spores that can worsen the situation. The EPA has found that mold exposure, even indirectly, can cause allergies, respiratory issues, weakened immune systems, and long-term organ damage. Mold doesn’t need to be visible to cause harm—it can thrive in hidden, dark areas and release harmful toxins.
Modern, energy-efficient buildings can trap moisture, providing the perfect environment for mold growth. Because mold thrives in damp, concealed spaces, it can be difficult to detect and remove. Rest assured, our licensed mold removal and odor control specialists are here to provide a safe and thorough remediation process.
