Assessment

Mitigation

As such, the team will need to turn off the water to the house, shut off the electricity system, and ensure there are no gas leaks. Then, they will take steps to remove potentially restorable items from the affected areas.
Cleanup
Next comes the decontamination portion of the process. The team, using advanced equipment and techniques, will clean smoke, dust, and soot from all surfaces This step is also when the team will begin the water damage restoration process.
