Restoration and Mitigation

GForce provides flood water and debris removal, mitigation and sanitation services. We have the appropriate cleanup tools and equipment such as extraction units, air movers and dehumidifiers for drying excess water after extraction.

According to the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), which sets the standards for the cleaning industry and water damage restoration training, there are several different levels and classes involved in liquid destruction. From the IICRC’s S-500 Standards, there are three categories:

This is liquid from a clean and sanitary source, such as faucets, toilet tanks, drinking fountains, etc. This category can quickly degrade into category two.

This category of liquid used to be called grey water, and is described as having a level of contaminates that may cause illness or discomfort if ingested. Sources include dishwasher or washing machine overflows, flush from sink drains and toilet overflow with some urine but not feces.

• Educational institutions
• Healthcare facilities
• Banks and other financial offices
• Commercial office buildings
• Manufacturing facilities
• Fitness and rehabilitation centers
• Churches
• Daycare institutions

This is the worst classification and is grossly unsanitary. It could cause severe illness or death if ingested. It used to be called black water, and sources include sewer backup, flooding from rivers or streams, toilet overflow with feces and stagnant liquid that has begun to support bacterial growth.

Cleaning and mold prevention is the next step in our water damage restoration process. GForce use special cleaners and mold deterrents. Every area previously affected with water is completely cleaned and sanitized. Not only does this keep mold from growing, it also removes all odors. Our cleaning supplies leave only a fresh, clean scent behind.
