At ServiceMaster Trifecta, we understand that water damage happens fast. Standing water immediately begins degrading the environment in which it resides. Depending on the source of water, it may contain chemicals or other waste material that are toxic. And in cases where the water has made contact with electrical outlets, risk of electrocution is at play. That’s why when water damage strikes, you need to strike harder.
ServiceMaster Trifecta has decades of combined restoration and cleaning experience and is well equipped to address any water damage that you may face. Dedication to service and restoration knowledge combines with 24/7 access to water restoration services to offer a professional and efficient process.
We’re here to make sure that you’re prepared before disaster ever strikes. We have resources to create your own Emergency Response Plan and have literature at your disposal to guide you through disaster preparation.

Everything Water Restoration
1. The Triple Threat
You may be experiencing the result of years of a slow, steady leak. Or perhaps the aftermath of a flash flood. Regardless of where, when, or how it strikes, water damage is detrimental to the environment it affects. Addressing the issue, however, requires understanding the water damage type – and how to best remedy the effect.
At ServiceMaster Trifecta, we pride ourselves on being problem solvers. And making sure that we can be that resource for our community means understanding the problem wholly and determining the appropriate response.
They say disasters strike in threes, and water damage follows suit. So, we group water restoration needs into three distinct categories, coined The Triple Threat, each with proven processes to get your space back to normal as quickly as possible.
Threat 1:
In-home water damage
Solution: We have the tools and experience to address any issue from flooding to standing water and mitigate as much future damage as possible.
Threat 2:
Post-fire water damage
Solution: Our access to top-of-the-line technology allows us to complete a thorough evaluation of fire-related water damage and identify salvageable material.
Threat 3:
Commercial water loss
Solution: We have the resources to mobilize an incredible amount of equipment and technicians for quality completion of the job – regardless of building size – in a reasonable time frame.
Pro-Tip
Your water bill can be an indicator that you have a leaky pipe in your home. If you notice that your water usage increases significantly from one month to the next without cause or explanation, be sure to investigate possible underlying causes. You may want to enlist a professional to inspect pipes throughout your property.
2. When to Call in Backup
It’s essential to know when it’s time to ask for help with water damage. Let’s investigate some of the common risks for water damage and when it’s time to seek professional help:
Problem: Burst Pipes
It’s time to call for help when you first become aware of the burst pipe. Water damage acts fast, and the flow of water can reach places within your structure that you might not be able to see.

What to Expect When Help Arrives
ServiceMaster Trifecta is efficient in addressing water damage restoration needs because we’ve established a proven process.
1. Identify the Source
2. Evaluate the Damage
3. Dry the Area
We begin with a thorough examination to find all sources and damage in your home or business. Then, our water restoration team evaluates everything from the carpet and flooring to the walls and ceiling. Then, once we’ve established our plan of action, we begin the process of structural drying.
Pro-Tip
Attics are one of the leading sources of water entering a home. The two reasons for this are clogged gutters and a leaky roof. Be sure to check your attic area for sources of water damage periodically and contact a water restoration professional if you find that water has seeped into your attic area.
3. Water Restoration 101
Let’s face it: Water damage restoration may not be something you’ve spent a lot of time familiarizing yourself with. But when water damage strikes, it’s essential that you understand the process of recovery for your space.
When it comes to water damage, there are two distinct restoration techniques that allow the affected to return to normal: drying and dehumidifying. They work together to mitigate damage and prevent mold growth in the area.
Drying = Reviving Your Space
ServiceMaster Trifecta starts the restoration service with the removal of water from materials in your space, from floor to ceiling. This process is called drying. Your water restoration team will identify the source and affected areas and utilize use state-of-the-art technology to dry them completely.
Dehumidifying = Clearing the Air
Water that enters your home or business does not simply linger on surfaces. It also remains present in the air – even after the drying process is complete. To eliminate the potential for future mold growth and bacteria facilitation, we use dehumidification techniques to remove residual water from the air during water damage restoration services.
Did You Know?
There are different types of water that can affect your space. Three types of water are the culprits for water damage: rainwater, freshwater, and sewage water.
Water Damage Left Unaddressed = Mold
Damp spaces facilitate the growth of many different types of molds. The presence of fungi can cause severe health issues for those who inhabit the affected space. Addressing the problem quickly is crucial. Our team at ServiceMaster Trifecta has extensive experience in identifying, removing, and treating mold that has been caused by water damage. As your experts in mold remediation, we take a systematic approach to identifying the source of the mold growth and helping eliminate mold from your home or work environment.
4. What’s Next
Returning to normal after water damage means more than simply removing the water from the structure. Aftercare – contents cleaning, laundry, smoke and soot removal, and reconstruction – is essential. And ServiceMaster Trifecta has the tools to assist.
Contents Cleaning
Water damage can seep into our important files, clothing, artwork, and other items. Our restoration experts come equipped with specialized training and resources to restore those things affected by water damage.
Laundry Services
When your home is affected by water damage – it doesn’t stop with hard surfaces. ServiceMaster Trifecta offers specialized laundry services to thoroughly clean linens affected by water damage in your home or office.
Smoke and Soot Removal
If your water damage is a result of a fire, you’ll likely also need smoke and soot removal services. We offer extensive smoke and soot removal services that will make it look like nothing ever happened.
Reconstruction
Sometimes water damage calls for reconstruction – and ServiceMaster Trifecta is prepared for that possibility. We have a team of construction experts available to rebuild your space to its former state – and even better.
Pro-Tip
You can install detection technology in your home or business to monitor for the presence of water. A water detector will notify you when its sensor picks up moisture nearby. These devices can even detect low moisture levels – meaning they can identify slow leaks that may go unnoticed otherwise. It’s best to install your water detector near appliances that utilize water sources such as sump pumps, washing machines, and water heaters.
5. Water Damage Prevention
The key to water damage prevention is remaining proactive. Undergoing regular maintenance measures can help you avoid water damage in your home or business and save you the hassle of needing water restoration services.

We used service master for numerous fixes in our home after half of it was damaged due to a bad pipe leak. We needed drywall, ceiling, painting, floor install and trim work. The team members were super quick to dry up the water and really showed they cared throughout the entire process. Jake, with Service Master, took his time to make sure everything was meeting our expectations as well.
After the job was completed and paid for, Jake called back a few days later just to make sure we were happy with everything. We will most definitely call them anytime we need work done. We highly recommend Service Master!

We had a water leak in the basement. Our homeowners insurance company arranged for service. Received a call from Sharon not long after hanging up from the insurance company and she arranged for service. She took the time to answer questions. The team arrived on time, were courteous, explained what needed to be done and went to work. They were efficient with a job well done. Lucky for us their work was covered by insurance but would definitely have them again if needed.
