Flood Specialists, Inc. uses state-of-the-art technology to effectively and efficiently repair or restore wet documents and valuable keepsakes. Our vacuum freeze drying capabilities help set us apart from other restoration companies in the industry.

Because items such as important and sensitive documents, books, heirlooms and other keepsakes are often of great value, the ability to preserve or restore them should be of utmost concern to insurance providers. In many cases they can mean just as much to the insured as the damage to the structures and premises themselves.

Sewage Backup Cleaning Services

If you have experienced a sewage backup in your home or business, you don't need pictures to understand the need to quickly clean and disinfect the area. Each year hundreds ofthousands of incidents take place.

After each sewage backup cleaning, Flood Specialists, Inc. uses disinfection products (sanitizing agents, germicides, & anit-microbial treatments) that arrest the growthof bacteria, fungi, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms. The affected area is also thoroughly deodorized.
