Call SERVPRO of Santa Cruz for your water damage today!

Some Homeowners may react to a water damage by throwing down a few towels to clean up the standing water, maybe even placing a fan or two in the area to help circulate the air flow. However, the structural damage may be much worse than one may think or see visually, and not addressing the full problem will lead to bigger issues down the road. There is a science behind SERVPRO of Santa Cruz’s drying processes.

SERVPRO of Santa Cruz trained professionals continually go through a series of trainings to stay current in the industry standards of the science of water mitigation. Holding to specific processes helps to minimize the possibilities of secondary damages (i.e. microbial growth).

  • Take a full scope/inspection of the property and the loss area to detect and chase the hidden moisture
