After securing the contents, United Fire and Water began the process of removing the damaged materials, including wet insulation and sheetrock. Removing these materials was critical to prevent mold growth and allow for effective drying. Following the removal, our team set up high-efficiency drying equipment, including dehumidifiers and air movers, to dry the affected areas according to IICRC-approved standards. This thorough drying process ensured that all moisture was effectively eliminated, minimizing the risk of additional damage to the structure and preventing long-term issues such as mold or mildew.

Once the affected areas were properly dried, United Fire and Water cleaned and sanitized the space to remove any contaminants and ensure the environment was safe. We also deployed air purification equipment to further improve indoor air quality and eliminate any lingering moisture or particulate matter in the air. With the space fully cleaned and sanitized, our team prepared the area for necessary repairs, ensuring that it was ready for restoration.
