In Southwest Florida, ServiceMaster by Wright is a trusted name when it comes to water and mold damage restoration. As a general contractor, we perform all aspects of the restoration project no matter the size. Here’s an account of our response to a water and mold damage event in Cape Coral, Florida.
How Our Professionals Deal With Water Damage
ServiceMaster by Wright is a water removal company that can dispatch a technician to a residence at any time of day. In fact, a professional can come over at any time of the year to provide homeowners with the instant help they require.
Our professional process includes:
Inspection and Assessment
- When water technicians come over to a home that has flooding in it, they may ask some detailed questions about the situation.
- Questions are meant to give the professional a better idea of how to proceed in terms of water extraction.
Water Extraction
- Company vehicles are fully equipped with water extraction tools that are necessary in order to get rid of the water.
- Although the water extraction process takes some time, specialists are meticulous in their work. Before proceeding to the next stage, they ensure that all of the water has been adequately removed.
Structural Drying, Dehumidification and Content Cleaning & Restoration
- Once the water extraction process has been finished, professionals move on to the next step, which is to dry out wet floors.
- People may only think of hardwood or tile floors that need to be dried when they think about floors. However, the reality is that many homes have carpets and rugs that have a proclivity for absorbing water fast.
- As a result, it's critical to dry wet floors, rugs, and carpets as soon as possible. In order to dry out wet floors and other items in a home, fans and air circulation may be used.
- Moisture in the air can have an impact on books, woodwork, and art. Mold can easily grow even after all of the water has been removed from a structure. As a result, our professionals work hard to ensure enough air circulation and dry up damp floors.
Although flooding within a home can be a big headache for many homeowners, there is no need to despair. Water damage restoration services provided by ServiceMaster by Wright give homeowners peace of mind.

1. Emergency Contact
- In 2016, ServiceMaster by Wright was called to a home in Cape Coral, FL that was flooded when the water line to the hot water tank broke.

- ServiceMaster set up dehumidifiers to get the moisture out of the home which contained the mold problem. They removed drywall, cabinets, and floors.
