Step 2: Inspection and Water Damage Assessment
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Water damage can come from a variety of sources, be it weather-related or from a failed appliance such as a washing machine, toilet or dishwasher. When damage does occur, it can lead to high repair costs. SERVPRO of Denver West will work with your insurance to confirm coverages. While many homeowners might be confident that they can assess and repair the issue themselves, this is not recommended.
When your home in Colorado is affected by water damage, your best and safest bet is to rely on a professional water damage restoration specialist. Water damage assessment requires specific skills, knowledge, and equipment that aren't usually available to the average homeowner. SERVPRO of Denver West has been tackling water damage in Colorado for years. We know what to look for and where, and have all the tools necessary to assess the full extent of water damage to your home.
When responding to a water damage emergency, we begin with a detailed inspection of your home or property, including a damage assessment. At this stage, our professionals are trying to determine the scope of the damage so that we can develop an appropriate plan of action. Emergency mitigation procedures will follow if the damage is so severe that immediate action is required. SERVPRO of Denver West has a multi-step assessment process which ensures that no detail will go unnoticed regarding water damage in your home.

- Category 3: "Black Water"
Survey the Extent of the Water Damage and Inspect the Premises
We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. In addition, we will inspect for safety concerns that may be evident. If there are any safety issues like lead or asbestos, please bring them to our attention.
