Schedule Your Free Damage Assessment

Inspection on a Centennial home is room by room, not a quick glance. We measure walls with non penetrating meters at multiple heights, check baseboards and trim, pull insulation in suspect cavities, look behind cabinets and appliances, inspect under sinks, around water heaters and washing machines, and trace the basement perimeter and slab joints where rural clay soils push moisture through. A thermal imaging camera maps temperature differentials that signal hidden moisture, a penetrating meter confirms the actual moisture content of the material, and a hygrometer reads ambient temperature and humidity. The reason for the thoroughness is simple: the most expensive problem in water restoration is hidden moisture missed on day one that fuels mold colonies 30 days later. Centennial homes with crawl spaces and partial basements especially demand this level of mapping.

I agree to be contacted by Centennial Water Restoration regarding my inquiry.

Insurance covers most sudden water damage in Centennial homes, but claims live and die on documentation. Photos before mitigation, moisture readings during, and a scope that matches the loss keep Hamilton County claims moving. Restoration done right builds the file while it dries the house.

Thermal cameras find the cold signatures evaporating water leaves in walls and ceilings. On Centennial losses where the leak path isn't obvious, imaging turns an exploratory demolition into a targeted opening. Less tearing out, faster drying, smaller invoice.

Emergency response across Centennial and every surrounding community in Hamilton County: one number, live dispatch, and crews that measure success in dry readings and returned keys.

About Us

Local Expertise, Real Results

Showing up when the call comes in, then doing the job the way the IICRC standard says to do it.

When a pipe bursts, a sump pump quits, or a storm pushes water into a Centennial basement, the first hour matters more than any other. Centennial Water Restoration dispatches a crew within 2 hours, runs the assessment on arrival, and starts extraction the same visit. License #RC21100059, IICRC trained, and the same crew handles the work from mitigation through reconstruction.

Centennial Water Restoration provides water damage restoration in Centennial and the surrounding Fountain County communities, including Kingman, Yeddo, Steam Corner, Attica, and Covington. Our crews are dispatched throughout the Centennial service area for residential and commercial losses, from a leaking supply line in a farmhouse off US Route 41 to a flooded basement in a rural ranch home. The work is handled by experienced technicians on a licensed and insured crew, led by IICRC certified technicians who do this every day. We have built our reputation on showing up when Centennial homeowners need help most, then doing the job right the first time.

Every project follows the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, and any mold remediation work is performed under the IICRC S520 standard. That means a structured approach: initial moisture assessment using thermal imaging and penetrating meters, controlled extraction sized to the loss, structural drying with monitored air movement and dehumidification, and antimicrobial application when conditions call for it. Before reconstruction starts in any Centennial home, we verify materials have reached dry standard against unaffected baseline readings. The rigor matters because what you cannot see, hidden moisture inside a wall cavity or under a subfloor, is what fuels mold growth and structural rot 30 days later.

Our Promise

Three commitments to every Centennial homeowner who calls us. First, fast emergency response with crews dispatched day or night, because every hour without extraction expands the damage. Second, IICRC certified technicians trained to the S500 standard, working with calibrated meters and commercial drying equipment, not guesswork. Third, a free on site inspection before any work begins, with clear communication on scope, and we coordinate with your insurance carrier if you have an active claim.

Why Centennial Chooses Us

Why Homeowners Around Centennial Choose Us

Centennial homeowners get IICRC certified crews, room by room moisture mapping, and clear scope and pricing before any equipment runs or any wall comes out.

Around the Clock Emergency Response

Burst pipes do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Centennial homeowners can reach our 24/7 emergency line any time, with crews dispatched quickly day or night. Extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers ride on the truck, so drying setup can begin the same visit. The faster water comes out, the less your home loses.

IICRC S500 Certified Crews

Our technicians are certified to the IICRC S500 standard, the recognized benchmark for water damage restoration. In practice, that means proper Category classification, documented moisture readings, and drying to a verified standard rather than a visual guess. For you, it means the job is done to a defensible protocol that holds up with your insurance carrier and protects your home long term.

Mitigation Through Rebuild

One call covers the full scope, extraction, structural drying, controlled demolition, mold remediation when needed, and reconstruction. Drywall, flooring, paint, and trim are handled by the same company that dried the structure. Centennial homeowners do not have to find a separate contractor to finish the job once the equipment leaves.

Insurance Coordination

We document the loss with photos, video, and written moisture readings from the first walkthrough. Then we coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster on scope, justify mitigation per industry standard, and keep the paperwork moving. You stay focused on your family while we handle the claim communication.

Our Process

The Order We Work In on a Centennial Job

Step one in any Centennial water loss is the on site moisture assessment. Our certified tech walks the affected areas with thermal imaging and meters, identifies the source (broken supply line, dishwasher or washer failure, sewage backup, storm intrusion through a damaged building envelope), and classifies the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 per IICRC S500. The full scope of damage gets mapped before any drying equipment goes in, so we know what we are treating. This phase typically takes one to two hours depending on the size of the loss.

Step two is documentation and insurance coordination. Before mitigation begins, we capture photos and video of every affected area, log meter readings on a written moisture map, and contact your insurance adjuster directly. Scope of work is matched to coverage, and mitigation is justified per industry standard so the claim moves cleanly. Most Centennial homeowners never see the back and forth paperwork, we handle it with the carrier. You get a clear summary of what is happening, what is covered, and what to expect next.

Step three is drying execution and controlled reconstruction. Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed according to structural drying calculations based on the square footage, materials, and Category of water involved. Daily monitoring with logged moisture readings continues until structures hit dry standard against unaffected baseline materials. Demolition happens only where wet materials cannot be saved, then reconstruction follows: drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, and trim to put the Centennial home back the way it was before the loss.

Rapid Emergency Dispatch

When the call comes in, a certified technician and crew load extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and meters, then head out. Centennial homes get priority emergency dispatch around the clock. Setup begins the same visit so drying time starts as soon as possible.

Category Determination

Water is classified as Category 1 (clean from a supply line), Category 2 (gray from appliances or toilet overflow without solids), or Category 3 (black water, sewage, floodwater) per IICRC S500. The classification drives the protocol, what gets dried, what gets cut out, what gets contained. Meter readings and assessment notes are logged in writing.

Insurance Partnership

We work directly with your insurance carrier, providing documentation, photos, moisture maps, and scope justification. You will not see surprise line items because the scope is set before work proceeds. We coordinate with your adjuster, and we work with your insurance carrier, but we make the paperwork side as easy as possible.

Drying to Verified Standard

Air movers and dehumidifiers run on calculated placement, with daily monitoring and logged readings. Materials are confirmed dry against unaffected baseline moisture content before any reconstruction begins. Skipping this verification is how mold problems show up weeks later, and we do not skip it.

WHAT WE SEE IN CENTENNIAL

What Causes Water Damage in Centennial

Sink Drain and P-Trap Leaks

Drain water carries food waste, soap, and whatever went down the sink, which pushes it out of the clean category under IICRC S500. Porous cabinet material that soaked it up generally comes out instead of getting dried in place.

HVAC Condensate Line and Pan

An air conditioner pulls a real volume of water out of the air on a humid afternoon, and all of it is supposed to leave through the condensate line. Block that line with algae and the pan overflows, and an attic air handler puts it straight into the ceiling below.

Downspouts Discharging at the Foundation

Clogged gutters overflow at the back edge and run down the wall, soaking the band joist and the top of the foundation. The spring seepage call in a Centennial home very often starts at a gutter nobody has cleaned in three years.

Appliance Failures

Dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerator ice maker lines, and water heaters fail without warning. Slow leaks behind appliances can run weeks before the wall behind them shows visible damage.

Sewer Line Backups

When a sewer line backs up into a Centennial home, it’s Category 3 water and requires full containment, PPE, and disinfection. Not a job for shop vacs and bleach.

Toilet Wax Ring and Flange Failure

Look at the flooring at the base: a lifted edge on vinyl, a dark ring on wood, grout that stays damp. Under it the subfloor and often the joist top have been wet a while, and both get read with a meter before anything is scoped.

While You Wait

What to Do in the First Hour After Water Damage in Centennial

Start by stopping the water, then keep people and pets away from wet outlets and dirty water. Everything else on this list protects your things and makes the drying go faster once our crew gets to your home in Centennial.

1. Close the main valve first

Find the main shutoff and close it all the way. A round handle turns clockwise, and a lever handle turns so it sits across the pipe. If the valve won't move, your water utility can usually shut off service at the meter.

2. Stay clear of anything electrical

Stay out of any room where water has reached outlets or extension cords. If the breaker panel is dry and you can reach it without standing in water, switch off the breakers for the wet area. If you can't reach it safely, call your electric utility.

3. Treat sewage water with care

Water from a sewer backup can carry bacteria, so avoid touching it with bare skin. Close the door to the affected room if you can, and keep everyone on a dry floor until the crew arrives with protective gear.

4. Move what you can't replace

Carry keepsakes and important papers to a dry room upstairs. Then pick up anything sitting on a wet floor, starting with cardboard boxes and anything made of paper, since those soak up water quickly.

5. Protect wood floors and furniture

Wood soaks up water quickly, so wipe off what you can and set furniture legs on foil or small blocks. Pick up area rugs so the floor under them can start to dry, and roll heavy ones onto a dry surface.

6. Leave wet drywall and carpet in place

It's tempting to start pulling things out, but leave wet drywall and carpet where they are. Our crew takes the damage photos and moisture readings before anything is removed, and that record goes into your photo report.

7. Let the air reach wet spots

In rooms with clean water, open closet and cabinet doors so air reaches the wet spots. On a hot, sticky day, keep the windows closed and leave the air conditioning on, since it pulls moisture out of the air.

8. Call before the water spreads further

The sooner the crew starts drying, the more of your floors and walls can be saved. Call as soon as the water is off, even late at night, since our dispatch line runs 24/7.

Call us when the source is off, and keep your phone nearby so the crew can reach you on the way.

How We Work

Three Simple Steps

The steps below are the same on every job, and the crew explains each one before it starts.

1

The Phone Call

Everything from extraction to containment is already staged. Arriving fast is how a flood stays a repair.

2

Mapping the Damage

Ambient temperature and humidity get logged to set drying targets. This phase usually runs one to two hours.

3

Dry, Then Done

Nobody signs off until the numbers do. Daily readings track progress until dry standard, typically 3 to 5 days here. Contaminated material is bagged, logged, and disposed of properly.

What You Get

What's in the Photo Report You Get From Our Crew

The photo report lets you see the damage for yourself, room by room, with the crew's photos and the readings behind every recommendation we make in your Centennial home. It starts on the first visit and grows as the drying goes.

The source, in pictures

Whether it was a cracked pipe or a sump pump that quit, the first photos in the report show the source up close and in the context of the room around it. That helps your plumber see the same thing we saw.

Water you can't see

Water often ends up somewhere out of sight, like under cabinets or inside a wall cavity. The report shows those spots with readings and photos so nothing gets closed back up while it's still wet.

Pictures you can keep

Every photo in the report comes from our crew, taken on site during each visit. You keep a copy of the full set, which is handy if you sell the house later and a buyer asks about the water damage.

Saving what can be saved

Drying in place is usually less disruptive than tearing out and replacing, and the readings show when it's possible. The report notes what the crew is drying in place and what it plans to remove, with photos of both.

The drying log

The report keeps a running log of the drying, with the readings from each visit and notes on the equipment in each room. It's the easiest way to see how close your home is to dry.

Seeing it for yourself

The point of the report is that you can see the damage for yourself. We show you the same photos and readings the crew used, and you can ask about any of them before the work goes further.

Sharing the report

The report is yours to share with anyone you choose. We document damage with a photo report and walk you through what we found, so you can decide with your insurance company, and your own policy spells out what it covers.

The report starts the moment our crew walks in, so the sooner you call, the sooner you'll have a clear record of the damage.

Before You Hire

Questions to Ask a Water Damage Company in Centennial

Use these questions with any water damage company you call in Centennial.

Who will be working in my home?

Ask whether the crew works for the company you called or for a subcontractor, and who's in charge on site each day.

How will you show me it's dry?

Ask for moisture readings on the first visit and the last one, so you can see the numbers reach dry standard.

Can I see an itemized estimate?

Ask for every line item in writing. Many insurers price water losses in Xactimate, so an estimate in that format is easier for an adjuster to review.

Does my policy require a certain company?

Ask your adjuster before you sign anything, and read the work authorization so you know what you're agreeing to.

What happens if you find mold?

Ask how mold behind walls or under floors gets handled, and whether that work is priced apart from the drying.

Who handles repairs after drying?

Ask who replaces drywall, flooring, paint and trim once the structure is dry, and whether one company can do both stages.

Indiana Climate

Indiana Weather Drives Restoration Calls Year Round

Centennial sits in a corner of Indiana that takes the full hit of severe spring storms, summer humidity, and hard winter freezes. Heavy spring rain combined with snowmelt saturates clay soils and pushes water into basements, July storms drive rain through compromised building envelopes, and January cold snaps split supply lines in older farmhouses.

Spring Saturation Flooding

West central Indiana springs combine heavy rain with rapid snowmelt, and the clay heavy soils around Centennial hold that water against foundations for days. Hydrostatic pressure pushes groundwater through basement walls, slab joints, and crawl space vents. When called in, we extract standing water, set dehumidification to drop interior humidity, and treat affected materials before mold takes hold.

Winter Pipe Bursts

Indiana cold snaps push temperatures well below freezing, and older Centennial farmhouses with uninsulated crawl spaces or exterior plumbing runs are especially vulnerable. A supply line splits at 2 AM, and by morning a kitchen ceiling is on the floor. We extract immediately, dry the cavity properly, and rebuild what the water destroyed.

Severe Thunderstorms

Fountain County sits in a high tornado risk corridor with frequent severe spring and summer storm events. Wind driven rain finds compromised flashing, broken windows, and damaged building envelopes, then runs into wall cavities and across ceilings. Our storm damage response covers the water intrusion side, extraction, drying, and reconstruction of the interior damage.

Summer Humidity and Mold

Indiana summer humidity sits high for weeks, and unconditioned crawl spaces under Centennial homes collect condensation on cold supply lines and ductwork housings. Wood framing absorbs that moisture, mold colonies start within 24 to 48 hours of saturation, and the smell shows up in living spaces above. We dry the space, apply antimicrobial treatment, and remediate active mold per IICRC S520.

Water Risk Across the Centennial Area

The conditions that decide how a Centennial job goes.

About Centennial Homes

Centennial is a hamlet scale unincorporated community in Millcreek Township, Fountain County, Indiana; no community specific housing age data is publicly available. Given the rural agricultural character of Fountain County and its settlement history dating to the mid-1800s, surviving structures in and around Centennial are likely a mix of late 19th- to mid-20th century farmhouses and rural dwellings, with original galvanized or early copper plumbing common in older stock. The area reflects the suburban rural mix typical of Millcreek Township, where most residents own their homes on larger lots with agricultural surroundings. Structures are predominantly single family rural farmhouses and modest ranch style homes, many with full or partial basements and crawl spaces common to Indiana's clay heavy soils.

Where We Work in Centennial

We cover homeowners across Centennial near Centennial Cemetery (US Route 41), Kingman-Millcreek Public Library (Kingman), Clinton F. Hesler Farm (National Register of Historic Places), Lake Holiday Hideaway (census designated place within Millcreek Township), Indiana State Road 234, US Route 41 corridor through Millcreek Township.

Surrounding Areas We Serve

Our crew also covers Kingman, Yeddo, Steam Corner, Fountain County (unincorporated areas), Attica, Covington.

Recent Weather Patterns

Fountain County and the broader west central Indiana region sit in an area with a high tornado risk and are subject to significant spring and summer storm events that produce heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and potential sewer backup in low lying rural properties. Indiana has a documented history of major flood events driven by rapid snowmelt combined with heavy rain, creating recurring water intrusion risks for basements and crawl spaces across the region.

What Our Crew Sees in Centennial

Centennial is a rural unincorporated hamlet along US Route 41 in Millcreek Township, and properties in this area are largely on private well and septic systems or aging rural sewer infrastructure, making sewer backup and groundwater intrusion common water damage risks. The freeze thaw cycle in Fountain County, with cold Indiana winters and wet springs, creates recurring burst pipe risk in older farmhouses and any structures with uninsulated crawl spaces or exterior plumbing. Low lying agricultural land surrounding Centennial means that heavy spring rains and rapid snowmelt can cause prolonged ground saturation, driving water into basements and crawl spaces and elevating sump pump dependency for any homes equipped with them.

The Centennial Area

Millcreek Township, which contains Centennial, had a population of approximately 1,385 residents and 791 housing units as of the 2020 census. The area has a suburban rural mix character with a high homeownership rate and a notable proportion of retirees among residents.

The Work

The Work Behind a Dry Out in Centennial

A plain breakdown of what each phase of the work covers.

Emergency Response and Equipment
Phase one

When our crew arrives for a Category 1 or Category 2 loss in Centennial, the truck carries commercial water extraction equipment, commercial dehumidifiers sized to the affected square footage, professional air movers, calibrated moisture meters, and thermal imaging. Extraction begins promptly on site, pulling standing water and saturated content out before drying setup. Structural drying equipment is placed the same day based on the size and layout of the loss, with daily monitoring and logged readings tracking progress. Work zones are contained with plastic sheeting, and unaffected areas are protected so dust and debris stay out of the rest of the home. Centennial homeowners get clear day by day communication on what equipment is running, why it is placed where it is, and when readings are expected to hit dry standard.

First 24 to 48 hoursCategory 1 and 2
Containment and Decontamination
Phase two

Specialized containment is required for Category 3 water (sewage backup, floodwater, long stagnant water with biological contamination) and any full mold remediation under IICRC S520. We build 6-mil plastic barriers floor to ceiling, seal entry points, and run negative air machines that pull contained air through HEPA filtration before exhausting outside the work zone. Technicians work in full PPE: Tyvek suits, N95 or P100 respirators per the S520 standard, nitrile gloves, and eye protection. Contaminated porous materials are cut, bagged, and disposed of properly, and antimicrobial application is performed on remaining structure once it is dry. When warranted, post remediation verification with air sampling confirms the space is ready to return to use. This is the phase where IICRC certification matters most, because corner cutting here is what causes long term health problems for the family that moves back in.

Category 3IICRC S500 and S520
Reconstruction
Phase three

Reconstruction picks up where drying ends. The same company that extracted the water and dried the structure handles the rebuild: drywall hung, taped, mudded, sanded, primed, and painted; flooring replaced (carpet pad and carpet, vinyl plank, hardwood refinish, tile reset); trim and baseboards reinstalled or replaced; cabinetry repaired or replaced; doors rehung; electrical and plumbing finish work coordinated as part of the scope. One project manager is your point of contact for the Centennial job from initial call through final walk through. The alternative most companies use is to hand the homeowner off to a separate general contractor after the equipment comes out, which means two crews, two schedules, and a home that sits in demolition while the new contractor catches up. We keep the work moving.

Same crewSame claim
During the Dry Out

Day to Day Life While Your Centennial Home Dries Out

Once the water is out, the drying equipment stays in your Centennial home for several days, and in many cases you can stay there with it. Knowing what to expect from the noise and the power use makes those days easier.

The equipment runs around the clock

Air movers and dehumidifiers run day and night, and they make a steady hum you'll hear through the house. The sound means air is moving across the wet surfaces, which is how the moisture gets pulled out.

Set units back the way they were

The crew places each unit based on where the readings are wettest. If you bump one or need to get past it, set it back the way it was, aimed at the same spot.

Closed doors help

When the crew closes off a room, the equipment dries a smaller space faster. Keep those doors shut as much as you can, and pass through quickly when you need to get in.

Keep cords clear

Cords run along the floor between the outlets and the equipment. Leave them where the crew routed them, and keep rugs and furniture off the cords so they stay cool and easy to see.

Pets and drying rooms

Pets tend to be curious about the noise and the warm air, so keep them out of the drying rooms when you can. A gate across the doorway works if a door has to stay open.

A crew visit each day

Someone from the crew stops by each day to take readings and move the equipment where it's needed. Tell them about anything new you notice, like a musty smell or a soft spot in the floor.

Why the drying starts right away

EPA says it's important to dry water damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. That's why the crew sets up drying equipment on the first visit and checks it each day after.

The last day of drying

On the final visit, the crew takes one more set of readings to confirm the wet areas are dry. Then the equipment comes out and the rooms are ready for any repairs they need.

The crew will walk you through the setup on the first day, and you can call us with questions until the last unit leaves your Centennial home.

Common Questions

FAQ · Centennial Water Damage

These are the questions Centennial homeowners bring up most when they call us about water.

Fast, around the clock emergency response is the standard for any Centennial water damage call. Our 24/7 emergency line is staffed for new losses day or night, and crews are dispatched with extraction equipment, dehumidifiers, air movers, and meters already on the truck. On arrival, a certified technician walks the loss, identifies the source, classifies the water per IICRC S500, and begins extraction as soon as the scope is clear. Setup of drying equipment typically happens the same visit so the structure starts losing moisture immediately. Call as soon as you discover the damage, every hour matters.
On average, Category 1 jobs in Centennial run $1,500 to $4,500, covering clean water from a supply line break or appliance overflow with standard extraction and drying. Category 2 (gray water from dishwashers, washing machines, or toilet overflow without solids) typically runs $3,000 to $8,000 because more materials are affected and antimicrobial treatment is required. Category 3 losses (sewage backup, floodwater, long standing groundwater) run $7,000 to $25,000 or more depending on contamination level, square footage, containment requirements, and reconstruction scope. Final pricing is set after a free on site inspection, not over the phone. Ask about the walkthrough process when you call.
Typically, sudden and accidental water damage (a pipe that bursts overnight, an appliance supply line that fails, a storm that drives water inside) is covered by most major insurance carriers. Gradual damage from a slow leak that went unaddressed for weeks or months is usually not covered, because policies treat that as a maintenance issue. Your deductible applies to the covered loss, and the carrier pays the balance up to policy limits. We work with your insurance carrier directly, providing photos, moisture readings, and scope documentation so the claim moves cleanly. We work with your insurance carrier, and we coordinate with your adjuster from the first visit.
Yes, our technicians are certified by the IICRC, the industry standards body for water damage restoration and mold remediation. Water work follows the IICRC S500 standard, which defines Category classification, drying protocol, and verification of dry standard. Mold remediation follows the IICRC S520 standard, which defines containment, PPE, removal, and post remediation verification. For a Centennial homeowner, certification means the work is done to a documented protocol that holds up with insurance carriers and protects your home long term. Ask for the certification when any restoration contractor walks through your door.
Typically, structural drying for a Category 1 loss in a Centennial home runs three to five days from setup. Category 2 losses often run four to seven days because more materials are affected and removal may be required. Category 3 losses vary widely with the scope of contamination and demolition, often a week or more before reconstruction can begin. Duration depends on the materials involved (drywall and carpet dry faster than hardwood and plaster), the size of the affected area, ambient humidity, and how quickly extraction started after the loss. Daily monitoring with logged meter readings tracks progress until dry standard is verified.
Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source, a broken supply line, an overflowing sink with clean water, a leaking water heater on the supply side. Category 2 is gray water with significant contamination that can cause illness, dishwasher or washing machine discharge, toilet overflow without solids, aquarium water. Category 3 is black water, grossly contaminated and capable of causing serious illness, sewage backup, floodwater from rivers or surface runoff, long stagnant water that has begun to support microbial growth. The Category determines the protocol, what can be dried and saved versus what has to be removed. Classification is set on the first walkthrough per IICRC S500.
Typically, mold begins colonizing within 24 to 48 hours of materials staying wet, faster in warm humid conditions like a Centennial summer. Porous materials (drywall, carpet pad, insulation, particleboard) are most vulnerable because they hold moisture in the structure. Our prevention approach starts with fast extraction, then dehumidification to drop interior humidity below the threshold where mold can grow, plus antimicrobial application on affected surfaces when conditions warrant. Verification with moisture meters and thermal imaging confirms there is no hidden wet pocket left behind. If mold is already present, IICRC S520 remediation is the protocol.
Safety first. If water is near electrical outlets, breakers, or the panel, shut off power to the affected area at the breaker if you can do so safely. Stop the source if it is safe, close the main water shutoff for a burst pipe, or turn off the supply valve to a failed appliance. Document everything with photos and video, every affected room, the source of the water, and any damaged contents, before you move anything. Then contact your insurance carrier to open the claim. Avoid walking through standing water if there is any chance it is Category 2 or 3.
Every truck carries commercial water extraction equipment, commercial dehumidifiers sized to the affected square footage, professional air movers, calibrated moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and hygrometers for ambient readings. HEPA filtration and negative air machines come out for Category 3 work and mold remediation under IICRC S520. Containment supplies (6-mil plastic, zipper doors) are standard on the truck so work zones can be sealed on arrival. PPE is sized for the crew, Tyvek suits, respirators, gloves, and eye protection for contaminated work. The right equipment matches the Category and scope of the loss, not a one size approach.
Yes, the same company that performs extraction and drying handles reconstruction. Scope covers drywall hung, taped, mudded, sanded, primed, and painted; flooring replaced (carpet, vinyl plank, hardwood refinish, tile reset); trim and baseboards reinstalled or replaced; cabinetry repaired or replaced; doors rehung; and electrical and plumbing finish work coordinated. You have one project manager from initial call through final walk through, one schedule, and the work under one claim. Centennial homeowners do not have to find a separate general contractor once the drying equipment leaves. Ask about the rebuild scope during the free inspection.
