What is Job Scoping and How Does it Benefit Your Miami Property?

Many consider scoping the work to be a determination of the presence of water damage, but there are more steps to this walk through than that.
What Factors Get Evaluated in the Initial Inspection?
While our SERVPRO project manager must walk through the damaged property with the customer to determine which materials and regions of the house have become impaired by moisture and dampness, other factors must also get considered. When our professionals assess your Miami home, they are looking to establish a baseline of damage to gauge the effectiveness of recovery techniques.
In addition to these initial findings, our project manager can document:
- At-risk or damaged contents in the path of migrating water damage
- Readings and findings from the use of sophisticated moisture meters and detection devices
- The desired humidity and moisture baseline to begin drying efforts
- The necessary equipment for restoring complex or complicated areas of the house
- Trained personnel necessary to efficiently restore the property
