Water damage restoration is putting someone's home or business back together after a water damage event.

At SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Jacksonville Northeast, our goal is to restore instead of replace whenever possible. Following are the steps we undertake in order to restore your property after a water damage incident.

Water damage restoration entails:

• It is putting someone’s home or business back together after a water damage incident. 
• It is the extra things, like re-laying the carpet, repairing the subfloors, and re-setting the contents. 
• It is restoring items to a preloss (normal) condition, whenever possible. 

Once the structure and contents are dry, our technicians can perform the restoration services. Restoration services are all of the tasks needed to return the site to its normal, preloss condition. During restoration:

• All repairs to structure and contents are completed. 
• Final cleaning is performed. 
• Final inspections are made. 
• All equipment is removed from the job site. 
• All of the customer’s contents are put back in place. 

Restoration may include:

• Cleaning, repairing, or reinstalling floors and floor coverings, such as carpets, carpet pads, hardwood floors, resilient, and non-resilient floors. 
• Removing and resetting contents to install or repair floor coverings.
