Richton Park has many townhomes and rentals. Whether you own or rent, photos and readings help everyone agree on what happened.
Our Richton Park work follows one path: trace the water, pull out what’s ruined, dry the structure and confirm it with readings, then hand off to your contractor. Every reading and photo goes into your file. See how the process works.
The EPA advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24–48 hours to prevent mold growth, so we measure rather than guess. (Source: EPA) More in drying and moisture readings.
