FLOODOKC.COM – WHAT BOB DOES AFTER WATER EXTRACTION – THIS IS WHERE YOU MAKE MONEY & SAVE THE CLAIM

Extraction is 20% of the job. Drying + Demo is 80%. Most OKC companies leave water in walls. You don’t.

BOB’S POST-EXTRACTION CHECKLIST – AFTER WATER IS OUT

This is the 3-DAY DRY SYSTEM – Print this for your crew

HOUR 0-2 – RIGHT AFTER EXTRACTION:

1. Photo Everything – Encircle App
■ Moisture readings BEFORE – Drywall, baseboard, wood floors
■ FLIR thermal scan – Find hidden water in walls
■ This is your insurance proof

2. Pull Baseboards – Pop Toe Kicks
■ Water sits behind base – Pull base to drill air flow
■ Under cabinets – Drill 1” holes in toe kick for Injectidry

3. Decide: SAVE vs CUT
■ Clean water (Cat 1) & < 24 hrs wet: Save drywall – Injectidry wall drying
■ Dirty water (Cat 2/3) or > 48 hrs wet: Flood cut 2ft with BMS-220LP – No arguing

DAY 1 – SET DRYING EQUIPMENT – THIS IS CRITICAL:

Formula Bob uses:
• 1 LGR Dehu per 400-500 sq ft affected
• 1 Air mover per 50-70 sq ft
• Average Edmond home (1000 sq ft wet) = 3 LGR 7000XLi + 15 air movers

Set:
• LGRs in center of affected areas
• Air movers at 45 degree angle to wall – Every 10ft – Creates vortex
• Hardwood floors: Injectidry floor mats + negative pressure
• Walls: Injectidry HP Plus hose into wall cavity

DAY 2 – MONITOR – THIS IS WHAT ADJUSTERS REQUIRE:

• Come back – Take moisture readings
• Log in MICA/DryBook:
○ Wood floors: Start 40% → Day 2 should be 25%
○ Drywall: Start 100% → Day 2 should be 40%
○ Humidity: Should be dropping below 40% RH
• Move air movers – Rotate 90 degrees
• Photos + logs

If not dropping: Add dehu or find hidden water – Check insulation in crawl.

DAY 3 – FINAL READINGS & PULL:

• Target: Wood < 16% moisture, Drywall < 0.5% over dry standard, RH < 40%
• FLIR scan again – Prove no hidden water
• If Cat 3: Apply Benefect Decon 30 antimicrobial + HEPA scrub 24 hrs
• Pull equipment – Give customer Drying Log PDF – This stops mold callback

BOB'S DRYING ARSENAL – EXPRESS RESTORATION INC – FLOODOKC.COM

We don't use Home Depot fans. We use insurance-grade drying.

1. TRUCK-MOUNTED WATER EXTRACTORS – WATER OUT FIRST
• HydraMaster / Butler systems – 200+ gallons per hour
• Why it matters: If you don't extract first, you're drying mud. We get water OUT same day.

2. LGR DEHUMIDIFIERS – THE BIG DOGS
• Dri-Eaz LGR 7000XLi – 130 pints/day – Pulls moisture at 33°F
• Phoenix 250 Max LGR – For tight spaces, crawlspaces
• Bob's rule: 1 LGR per 3 air movers – Otherwise you're just blowing wet air around.

3. AIR MOVERS – NOT FANS – AIR MOVERS
• Dri-Eaz Velo Pro & SAHARA – Low amp, high velocity – 2.2 amps each
• Phoenix Axial Air Movers – For hardwood floors, we save floors instead of ripping them.
• How many: Average house flood = 12-20 air movers for 3 days.

4. SPECIALTY DRYING – THIS IS WHERE WE SAVE YOU MONEY

A) Hardwood Floor Drying System – Injectidry
• Rescue $10k hardwood floors without tearing out
• Mats pull water from under wood – Saves claim $5k-$15k

B) Wall Cavity Drying – Dri-Eaz Injectidry HP Plus
• Dry inside walls without cutting everything to 4ft
• Flood cut at 2ft if Category 2/3, but we save if clean water

C) BMS-220LP FLOOD CUT MACHINE
• Bob's secret weapon for glue-down flood cuts
• Cuts drywall at 2ft or 4ft straight, dust-free, in 1/3 time
• Adjusters love it – Clean lines, photo-ready

D) Thermal Imaging – FLIR C5
• We find hidden water behind cabinets with infrared – Not guessing.
• Documented – Shows adjuster it's still wet.

E) Moisture Meters – Protimeter & Delmhorst
• We log moisture daily – Wood has to hit

Hey it’s Heidi – so Bob asked me to explain our packing service, because a lot of people have never heard of a packout.

Here’s exactly what happens:

Step 1 – We do a walk-through with you – you tell us what’s most important – medications, documents, kids’ stuff – that comes out first and stays with you.

Step 2 – We pack room by room – We bring our own boxes, tape, paper, plastic totes – you don’t buy anything. Stephanie usually packs bedrooms and closets, I do kitchen and breakables because I’m picky.

Step 3 – Everything is inventoried – We take a photo of each item, barcode it, and log its condition – ‘Good’, ‘Wet’, ‘Smoke Damaged’ – that list goes straight to your insurance so your claim is covered.

Step 4 – Cleaning – At our shop in Edmond, we have a cleaning station – we ultrasonically clean dishes and knick-knacks, we do laundry with smoke deodorizer, we wipe down furniture and electronics, and we ozone for odor.

Step 5 – Storage – It goes into our vaults – climate-controlled, locked, insured – Your stuff is safer there than in your garage.

Step 6 – Pack-back – When Bob finishes your floors or reconstruction, Stephanie and I bring it all back, unwrap it, and put it away – kitchen put away, beds made.

Insurance pays for all of it – packout, cleaning, storage, pack-back – under your policy’s contents and loss of use. You just pay your deductible.

If you need us – it’s Heidi and Stephanie – Express Restoration – 405-922-8891”

Hey, I'm Stephanie with Express Restoration – I'm part of the packout team with Heidi.

When you have a fire or a flood, the last thing you want to worry about is your stuff – your clothes, your kids' toys, photos, your grandmother's dishes.

What Heidi and I do is we come in and we pack your entire home – room by room. Every item is photographed, inventoried, and barcoded, so nothing gets lost.

We take it to our climate-controlled storage here in Edmond, we clean everything – ultrasonic cleaning, deodorizing, laundry – and then when Bob is done rebuilding your home, we bring it all back and set it up for you like it was before.

It's personal for us – we treat your home like our home.

I'm Stephanie – that's Heidi – we're the packout girls at Express Restoration – 405-922-8891"
