Disaster recovery requires a vast number of resources — resources that can only be offered by a provider that is backed by a $3 billion company with a network of more than 400 locations. Not only can SRM provide you with a recovery team who can respond at a moment’s notice, but we also have the know-how to properly manage the number of resources that go with it. After all, the disaster affects not only the day-to-day business but the employees who work there too.
After water damage in your home, stair carpeting is generally not removed for safety reasons. Exposed tack strips or staples, especially on steps, can be dangerous. However, there are situations where removing carpet from stairs is necessary to prevent damage to hardwood steps underneath, or in the case of sewage contamination. Removing tack strips is not advised, as this may damage the hardwood or the subfloor. Extreme caution must be used whenever the tack strip is exposed or when the carpeted stairs are damp. If carpet left on the stairs is unsalvageable, it will be removed when new carpet is installed.
Our team of highly trained technicians takes a thorough and meticulous approach to cleaning and disinfecting an area after a hazardous situation. First, we isolate the affected area to prevent any potential spread of contamination. Then, our team removes all unsalvageable items and properly disposes of them according to industry standards. Next, we use specialized disinfectants and equipment to thoroughly clean all surfaces and ensure that all pathogens are eliminated. Finally, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that the area is completely decontaminated before giving the all-clear for you to return to your home with peace of mind. Rest assured that our expertise and attention to detail will leave your home safe and free from any potential risks.
