SOS Restoration provides cleanup, remediation and property restoration services throughout San Bernardino County after water, fire, storms and other damaging events.
Property damage can create immediate safety concerns and lead to further problems when affected areas are left exposed or wet. The right first step depends on the source of the damage, but the priority is always to protect people before attempting cleanup.
SOS Restoration serves San Bernardino County with water damage restoration, water extraction, structural drying, flood cleanup, storm damage repair, fire and smoke damage restoration, smoke odor removal, mold remediation, sewage cleanup, emergency board-up, asbestos removal, biohazard cleanup, disaster cleanup, contents cleaning and restoration, and commercial damage restoration.
If there is an active emergency, leave the affected area and contact the appropriate emergency service. Do not enter areas with visible structural damage, standing water near electrical sources, heavy smoke residue, sewage or suspected hazardous materials.
When it is safe, stop the source of the damage if you can do so without putting yourself at risk. For example, shut off water when a supply line is leaking. Avoid disturbing damaged materials, since movement can spread contamination, mold particles, soot or potentially hazardous debris. Photographing visible damage from a safe position can also help you keep a record of the conditions.
Next, contact SOS Restoration to discuss what happened and which restoration service may be appropriate. Explain the source of the damage, when it began, which areas are affected and whether water, smoke, sewage or exposed building materials are present.
Restoration work varies according to the type and extent of damage. Water-related projects commonly begin with controlling the source, removing standing water and drying affected materials. Drying is important because moisture may remain in materials even after visible water is gone.
Fire and smoke damage can require attention to both surfaces and contents. Smoke residue and odor may remain after the fire itself has been addressed. Storm or disaster damage may also leave a property exposed, making temporary board-up an important step before later cleanup or repair work begins.
Sewage, biohazard, mold and suspected asbestos conditions require particular caution. These are not situations for unprotected handling or ordinary household cleanup. Keeping people away from the affected area until the appropriate work can begin reduces unnecessary contact with contaminated or hazardous materials.
San Bernardino County is part of SOS Restoration’s recorded service area. Customers can contact one business for a broad selection of damage-restoration needs, from initial cleanup and drying to remediation, odor removal, contents work and commercial restoration.
That range matters because damage does not always fit into one category. A single event can involve water, damaged contents, odors or exposed areas. Choosing a provider whose available services cover multiple types of property damage can make it easier to identify the work the situation requires.
Contact a restoration provider after a leak, flood or other water event when water has entered the property or affected building materials. Even when standing water is limited, damp materials may require extraction or structural drying.
Avoid direct contact with sewage and biohazard materials. Keep others away from the area and seek appropriate cleanup help rather than using ordinary cleaning methods without suitable protection.
Wait until the property is safe to enter. Avoid handling soot-covered materials unnecessarily, and document visible conditions from a safe location before arranging restoration and smoke odor removal.
