Roof Damage from a Tornado.

On April 23, 2020; Orangeburg was hit by a tornado. There was extensive damage throughout the county. We received quite a few calls to help customers treat and restore their properties. 

This particular home had roof damage through out, which also caused significant water damage as well. Once contacted we were on site within an hour to begin mitigation. We were aware of the lack of power throughout the home due to powerline damage, so we came prepared.

Generators had to be set up to power the equipment that was necessary to treat the home. We set up dehumidifiers in every room to keep the moisture levels down, and also had to set an air scrubber to clean and control the air quality. The air scrubber helped accomplish this by allowing air to enter the unit and pass through the three-stage filtration capturing mold spores, dust and particulate to help control the secondary damage that can occur with water damage.

We used these machines to make it "Like it never even happened," for our customers, so that could get back to normal as soon as possible.
