     The water restoration industry has come a long way over the years. The original concept was to extract the water, and let natural drying occur for structural materials over a prolonged period of time.  

      Throughout the development if the science of water damage restoration, it has become evident that water damage not only affects the structure and contents of your home or building, but also impacts public health if restoration is not performed properly. Whatever the source of the water damage, the impact on the ecology within the affected structure is important. The increase in the microorganisms present, or in the conditions of the building that may promote microbial amplification, is a major concern. The importance of a timely response to any water damage is necessary to prevent progressive material damage, amplification of microorganisms and to minimize potential health effects.
