Category 1 is clean water from broken supply pipes or sink overflows. Category 2 (grey water) contains mild contaminants from washing machines or dishwasher leaks. Category 3 (black water) comes from sewage backups, toilet overflows, or floodwaters containing hazardous pathogens. We sanitize and dry all three categories according to IICRC S500 standards.

We use non-invasive FLIR thermal infrared cameras and pinless electromagnetic moisture meters. This allows us to map hidden water trapped behind drywall, under hardwood, or deep within concrete slabs without tearing down unneeded structures.

Standard structural drying takes between 3 to 5 days depending on the materials affected, humidity levels, and severity. We deploy high-capacity LGR dehumidifiers and industrial air movers, logging psychrometric readings daily until industry dry standards are met.

Mold spores begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours in moist environments—especially under warm Las Vegas temperatures. Immediate professional water extraction and structural drying are essential to prevent dangerous toxic mold outbreaks.

Our certified mold remediation process includes setting up negative pressure HEPA containment barriers, removing contaminated porous materials, scrubbing air with 2,000+ CFM industrial HEPA air scrubbers, applying EPA-registered antimicrobial agents, and coordinating independent third-party air clearance testing.

Yes. We use advanced thermal fogging, hydroxyl generators, and ozone chambers to neutralize smoke molecules embedded deep inside structural framing, drywall, and HVAC ductwork. We do not mask odors; we permanently break down the carbon soot molecules.

First, ensure the fire department has declared the property safe to enter. Do not touch soot-covered walls or run your HVAC system, as this spreads toxic soot throughout the home. Call Immaculate Restoration immediately for emergency board-up, roof tarping, and soot stabilization.

Yes. We offer complete content pack-out services. We carefully inventory, pack, and transport your furniture, electronics, clothing, and keepsakes to our secure climate-controlled facility for specialized ultrasonic cleaning and deodorization.

Desert monsoon flash floods carry heavy silt, mud, and Category 3 microbial contaminants. We deploy heavy-duty trash pumps to extract standing water, remove saturated drywall up to 24 inches above the water line (flood cuts), sanitize structural framing, and dry the property using desiccant air units.

Outdoor monsoon floodwaters are classified as Category 3 (black water) containing silt, street runoff, and bacteria. IICRC S500 standards mandate removing drywall and insulation 12 to 24 inches above the water line to decontaminate wall cavities.

We deploy industrial Low Grain Refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers and directed high-velocity axial air movers. These systems pull deep bound moisture from concrete pores to prevent long-term tile debonding and microbial growth.

Sewage is Category 3 black water carrying dangerous pathogens, including E. coli, Salmonella, Norovirus, and toxic sewer gas. We use full PPE, truck-mounted extraction, and hospital-grade EPA List N virucides to sanitize the space.

Yes. We operate 100% unmarked service vehicles for biohazard, crime scene, and trauma decontamination. Our technicians work with complete discretion and empathy to protect family and tenant privacy.

Yes. We maintain 100% unmarked vehicles for trauma scenes, biohazard remediation, and unattended death situations to protect your family's privacy and dignity.

Yes! High desert wind gusts and microburst storms can blow off roof tiles, collapse tree fronds onto structures, or break windows. We dispatch 24/7 crews for immediate roof tarping, structural shoring, and window board-up.

We write 100% of our loss estimates using Xactimate—the exact pricing software preferred by State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, and all major insurance carriers. This eliminates billing disputes and speeds up claim approval.

We compile a complete adjuster-ready digital packet containing initial moisture mapping, thermal imaging scans (PDF), daily psychrometric drying logs, before-and-after photo timelines, and itemized Xactimate loss invoices.

Yes. Immaculate Restoration bills all major insurance carriers directly. We work directly alongside your claims adjuster to coordinate loss documentation, eliminating out-of-pocket financial stress on covered claims.

Yes! We offer 24/7 off-hours and night-shift commercial response. Our teams erect airtight negative pressure containment barriers with sound isolation so your retail store, hotel, casino floor, or office remains open during drying.

Our enterprise fleet includes trailer-mounted desiccant dehumidifiers, truck-mounted high-volume extractors, 2,000+ CFM HEPA air scrubbers, and industrial thermal fogging units designed for multi-story towers and large resorts.

Our PREP Program is a zero-cost agreement for commercial property directors. It pre-registers your building floorplans, main shutoff valves, and insurance policies with our 24/7 dispatch center, guaranteeing a priority 60-minute SLA response.

With our low-moisture steam extraction process and speed-drying air movers, most sofas, sectionals, and recliners dry within 3 to 5 hours. We inspect fabric care tags first to prevent water spots or shrinkage.

Yes! We test fabric weaves and color fastness prior to cleaning. For delicate organic fibers like velvet, silk blends, wool, or linen, we utilize specialized low-pH encapsulation or dry cleaning methods to prevent color bleeding or fiber distortion.

We carry specialized spot-dissolving agents formulated for upholstery fibers. While permanent chemical dye stains cannot always be 100% removed, our multi-stage extraction lifts over 90% of wine, coffee, food, grease, and pet stains.

Scotchgard forms an invisible, molecular-level hydrophobic shield around fabric fibers that repels water and oil-based spills. It gives you precious time to blot up liquid spills before they set into permanent stains.

We use bio-enzymatic turf sanitizers and high-pressure steam extraction to dissolve trapped uric acid crystals and organic waste in turf infill, neutralizing harsh pet odors and killing bacteria at the root layer.

Our turf service includes power broom agitation to lift matted turf blades, high-velocity debris extraction to pull out desert dust and organic debris, eco-friendly antimicrobial sanitization, and infill re-grooming for a vibrant green lawn.

For homes with dogs or active pets, we recommend professional turf sanitization every 3 to 6 months to prevent bacteria buildup under the hot Las Vegas sun. For non-pet turfs, annual maintenance keeps fibers upright and dust-free.

With our low-moisture hot water extraction method and industrial air movers, most carpets dry within 2 to 4 hours. You can walk on them immediately with clean socks or complimentary shoe covers.

Most major carpet manufacturers require professional hot water extraction cleaning every 12 to 18 months to keep their warranties active. For households with pets or children, we recommend cleaning every 6 to 9 months.

We apply commercial-grade alkaline tile pre-treatments, followed by high-pressure 1,000+ PSI rotary hot-water extraction that blasts trapped grease, dirt, and mold out of porous grout lines, followed by a penetrating commercial grout sealer.

In the dusty Southern Nevada desert climate, we recommend professional air duct cleaning every 2 to 3 years and dryer vent cleaning annually to prevent hazardous lint fire risks and keep indoor air quality clean.
