Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitizing
The Many Levels of Cleaning Miami Homes After Water Losses
With cleaning being such a crucial element to all of the restorative practices that our SERVPRO team begins, our technicians that oversee this phase of recovery are among the most well-trained of our responding professionals. There are multiple layers and levels of cleaning necessary to restore a Miami home after a substantial loss incident.
The Products and Equipment to Clean Your Miami House
Residues and debris are among the most immediate factors that must get addressed after a water loss incident. Despite how widespread these conditions might appear, proven cleaning tactics like dry vacuuming and foam cleaning can reduce the severity of soiling and staining after prolonged water exposure. In some situations, moving damaged contents to our nearby SERVPRO facility can help as well.

Cleaning or Controlled Demolition?
Some lines exist in the restoration process that determine the perceived costs of corrective actions like cleaning and deodorization against the expense of removing these installed materials and replacing them. With in-house contractors, the expense of rebuilding can sometimes be less than the time and effort utilized to return individual portions of construction materials and marred contents to their original condition before disaster struck.
