Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing

Your property’s walls, floors, and other surfaces will likely need professional cleaning treatments after water damage. Besides cleaning your property’s structure, SERVPRO® of Friendswood/Pearland, Stafford, Missouri City North and Fresno will also clean your belongings, like furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other restorable personal items, damaged by the water. Flooding and water damage often require odor removal and deodorization treatments, since wet materials have an unpleasant odor.

We use a scientific approach to water removal and water cleanup that emphasizes monitoring and documenting the drying process from beginning to end.  Every water damage event is a little different, and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same.
