Water Mitigation — IG Services
Overview
What Is Water Mitigation?
Water damage moves fast. Within hours, standing water saturates drywall, warps flooring, and creates the conditions for mold growth. IG Services deploys immediately — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — with industrial extraction equipment, commercial-grade drying systems, and IICRC-certified technicians who know how to stop the damage before it compounds.

How It Works
Our Process
Emergency Response
We answer 24/7. A crew is dispatched immediately — no answering service, no waiting until morning.
Assessment & Moisture Mapping
Technicians use thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify all affected areas, including hidden cavities behind walls and under flooring.
Water Extraction
Industrial truck-mounted and portable extractors remove standing water rapidly, minimizing saturation time.
Structural Drying
Commercial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are placed strategically to dry the structure to pre-loss moisture levels.
Monitoring & Documentation
Daily moisture readings are logged and documented — critical for insurance claims and ensuring drying is complete.
Restoration & Clearance
Once dry, we restore affected materials and provide a clearance report confirming the structure is safe and dry.
