Water Damage Can Be Repaired

Whether it’s a small leak or a full-out flood, we have the skill, experience, certifications, and equipment to fix it right the first time every time!

Here’s a few important items to remember when your dealing with water damage

1. Water damage to your personal belongings and property will continue to occur until it is extracted and the drying process has begun. The quicker you call us, the quicker we can get to you and prevent additional damage.

2. It is not necessary to contact your insurance  provider for approval before calling us to help you with your water damage. We work directly with all insurance companies and will help walk you through the process step-by-step.

3. Most water damage losses caused by indoor plumbing fixture breaks will be covered by your insurance provider.

4. It is critical that you hire a company that is reputable and that has credentials and the experience to back them up, not just a handyman or carpet cleaner. You could risk more damage, mold, and lose more money by using someone that’s not certified. We are a Better Business Bureau accredited business with nearly 30 years experience. We are an IICRC trained and certified firm, with unmatched technology and equipment. There’s no question about it, if you want it done right the first time, give us a call.

5. Mold can begin to grow 48 hours after the water damage occurred. Most building materials will literally require weeks to dry out on their own. It will be cheaper for you to hire us to dry things out before mold grows than to wait and end up having to pay for a mold mitigation instead.

Here’s what to expect as we help you recover from your water loss.

Day of Emergency Response:

1. Our professional and certified team will respond quickly to minimize additional damage.

2. We use advanced equipment to achieve a deep extraction of wet floors. This equipment is so advanced that it allows us to save your floor coverings and dry them in place! This saves time, money, and prevents a nasty mess and unnecessary waste.

3. Following extraction, our team will place drying equipment to jump start the drying process.

4. We will then document the extent and nature of the water damage. We will consider the types of materials affected, the amount of damage that has occurred, any pre-existing conditions, and identify any potential complications.

1st Return Trip

a) Our first return trip will be to monitor and assess the drying process. We will find answers to “How wet is it?” and “Is it drying?”

b) We will then adjust the equipment to ensure optimal drying performance.

c) If any building materials are damaged beyond repair, we will remove and dispose of these materials.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. Return Trips

a) Once again we will assess the drying process and find new answers to the questions of “How wet is it?” and “Is it drying?”

b) Equipment will be adjusted or removed based on how well materials are drying.

c) This process will continue until all wet building materials have been sufficiently dried and the equipment is removed.

Restoration

Step 1 - Once everything has been successfully dried, a restoration estimate will be prepared.

Step 2 – Based on the estimate built in step one, build materials such as framing, insulation, and drywall will be replaced.

Step 3 – Finish materials such as cabinetry, trim, flooring, and painting will be done last.

Step 4 – When the restoration work is nearly complete, we will do a general clean of the affected areas which may including items such as carpet cleaning and dusting.

Step 5 – Smile with satisfaction and enjoy your newly restored property.

Bleach Won't Remove Mold

A contractor that won’t mislead you, but just be honest and professional. You need someone who will take the time to do it right the first time. We’re committed to excellence and nothing less. When you call us to help you with a mold problem, we’ll give you the answers you need and put your mind at ease.

Here’s what you can expect when you give us a call.

a) Speak with a knowledgeable representative who will listen to your concerns and offer sincere suggestions.

b) We will come and inspect the home or property in question. A knowledgeable representative will meet with you and conduct a thorough investigation of the contaminated areas. He will then explain what options you may have in appropriately resolving the problem.

Here’s what to expect when you hire us to conduct a mold mitigation.

1. On the scheduled day of mitigation, you will meet with a knowledgeable, experienced, and courteous crew that will safely complete the removal and disposal of contaminated materials.

2. A complete detail-clean will then be conducted to assure the best possible results.

3. Once the cleanup process is complete, an air sample will be taken in the contained cleanup area.

4. The sample is analyzed by a third-party lab and a detailed report of the results is built.

5. We receive the report, call you to discuss the results, and then provide you with a copy of the report as proof of a successful completion of the work.

After the air sample reports a clean and safe environment, restoration can begin. Here’s what to expect.

Step 1 – We will replace building materials (framing, insulation, drywall & texture), first.

Step 2 – Finish materials such as cabinetry items, flooring, trim and paint will be done next.

Step 3 – After a final walk through with us,  enjoy your newly restored property.

why Bleach won’t Work

1. Short Kill Time – Chlorine will flash and not have a long contact time. A longer contact time is needed when it comes to the stronger strains of bacteria and fungi found in buildings. Some bacteria and fungi need a minimum of thirty minutes of contact time to be eliminated.

2.Evaporation – Chlorine bleach will evaporate within a short period of time. If the area is not dry when the bleach evaporates, or moisture is still in the contaminated area (humidity, outside air dampness), you could start the contamination process immediately and to a greater degree.

3.Corrosion – Chlorine will accelerate the deterioration of the material and wear down the fibers. Replacement of the effected material will be premature.

4.Off-Gassing – Chlorine bleach off gasses for a period of time. Chlorine off gassing can be harmful to some people. It has been known to cause pulmonary embolisms in low resistance and susceptible people.

5.Bleach is 99% water – Water is one of the main contributors to the growth of harmful bacteria and mold. Using bleach will cause mold and bacteria to re-grow and regenerate with twice the colony forming unit counts than were originally found. Not only does bleach promote further mold growth, the stronger strains of mold now associated within the Indoor Air Quality issue are resistant to bleach.

6. Bleach has no wetting ability on porous surfaces – Porous surfaces are where the majority of the stronger strains of contamination are found. Bleach does not have the capability to penetrate the fibers or the pores of building materials to remove the contamination.

Not to long ago KSL news radio featured R & E Cleaning and Restoration in one of their special business segments.

Below you can read the transcript or

Listen to the KSL news broadcast
Roger Empey has a mantra he runs his Bluffdale business by: “We take the time to do it right the first time.”

The success of his company, R & E Cleaning and Restoration, shows just how much customers appreciate his philosophy. R & E provides carpet, upholstery and air duct cleaning as well as emergency services for mold, water damage, sewage backups, and smoke and fire. The company uses only the best state-of-the-art equipment available.

Roger, a licensed general contractor, tells me he started out in 1980 as a carpet and upholstery cleaner. However, he had done construction for many years. In 1996, he received his certifications for disaster cleanup, purchased top-of-the-line equipment and went full time with cleaning and restoration work. Thirteen years later his company continues to thrive.

While the down economy has affected R & E Cleaning and Restoration – it’s slower than normal – Roger has been excited to discover he is still having repeat business from long-time clients. Customers are consistently impressed with the quality work, made possible from the high-tech equipment and skilled employees. Roger’s staff also does its best to put customers at ease while they are in someone’s home.

Not long ago, Roger added a drywall division that specializes in home repair. Drywall Medic offers expertise at matching any texture so it’s impossible to tell where repairs were made, which is quite a useful skill when performing disaster relief work.

Roger plans to continue the steady growth R & E Cleaning and Restoration has experienced. His son, Chris, recently graduated from college and joined him in the business. He has already improved follow-up by creating a customer relations survey to ensure clients are pleased with services received.

“The Right Prescription for Healthy Air & Healthy Living.”

When it’s time to clean your air ducts, don’t settle for second best. After 30 years of experience we have determined the best procedures and equipment to get your ducts in a row. Recently, we invested in a piece of equipment that is so far advanced that it makes the competition squirm every time they see it in action! No kidding, we’ve been cleaning ducts for decades and we’re even amazed at what we can now do in terms of quality and performance.

After seeing the equipment in action, one experienced heating and air conditioning contractor exclaimed, “I never thought that it was possible to clean a system that well. I’ve never referred anyone for this kind of work before because I’ve never believed that anyone could really get it clean, but I’ll sure be referring your company!”

We can now completely clean the entire system that handles the air in your home or business, not just the air ducts. We’ll clean your furnace and air conditioning coils, including the blower, heat exchangers, burners, and the furnace cabinet. It’s an incredible value, unmatched by competitors period!

By cleaning your air duct system, you’ll gain three important advantages:

1. Cleaner ducts means cleaner air. Cleaner air means a cleaner and healthier home, less allergies, less asthma, and less dusting!

2. A clean duct system translates to better furnace and air conditioning efficiency. That means energy savings!

3. A clean duct system will last longer than one that goes unnoticed and neglected. It’s just like changing the oil in your car. The more consistent you are with changing your car’s oil, the longer the engine will last. Same thing goes for your furnace and/or air conditioning system. Clean it once every 3-5 years and its life will be extended, ultimately keeping more cash in your pocket.

We clean more than just ducts! Check out the variety of services we offer:

Every service offered is back by our 30-day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. That means no risk to you!

Here’s what our customers have to say about their experiences with The Air Medic

“I expected ‘up-selling’ which happened with other home show vendors contacted – didn’t happen. Very refreshing! We will highly recommend your service and will use again!” - D. & M. Limauge 4/9/2010

“I have been impressed both times we have used your company. Your employees are very nice. I will refer my friends to you. Thank you. - C. Gilbert 4/5/2010

“There were no surprises – that’s always good! I was impressed with the care given to details.” - M. Evans 4/2/2010

“At first I felt it (the price) was way too high. Then they explained they would be here 3-5 hours, and then I saw the way they cleaned all the vents and vent covers (by hand) ,and took the furnace apart and cleaned it til it sparkled. They were extremely professional and courteous, answered any and all questions and left the house the way they found it (neat and clean).” – S. Molitor 4/19/2010
