When something goes wrong at a school or university, quick and expert restoration is super important. It helps keep things moving, ensures everyone’s safety, and gets the learning environment back on track. Fleitas Restoration has put together a solid process that’s all about the unique needs of schools dealing with water, fire, storms, or any major events.
Fast Emergency Response and Careful Assessment
The whole process kicks off with Fleitas Restoration’s quick response team getting to the scene within 2 hours after the first call. This quick action is key to limit damage and stop things from getting worse. Once we arrive, the team checks everything out to see what kind of damage there is. We look for possible issues like mold or lead that could affect the cleanup plan and safety steps. We talk with the school administrators to get a feel for their priorities, worries, and what they need so that they can make a tailored restoration game plan.
Our game plan includes:
- Quick arrival within 1-2 hours of the call
- Detailed inspection to check out the damage
- Hazard testing for stuff like mold, lead, or asbestos
- Chat with school leaders about what’s needed
Smart Containment and Damage Control
To stop damage from spreading and affecting other areas of the school, Fleitas Restoration sets up containment zones really fast. They use techniques like negative air pressure and barriers. They also manage air quality with ventilation and air filtering systems so that harmful particles don’t circulate. If there’s water damage, the team jumps right into action, using powerful pumps for extraction, then drying things out with industrial dehumidifiers and blowers. Any materials that are too damaged, like soaked drywall or contaminated floors, are carefully taken out according to safety rules.
Detailed Restoration Planning
With things contained and stable, Fleitas Restoration works closely with school stakeholders to create a detailed recovery plan. This plan clearly outlines what needs to be done, how long it will take, and key milestones along the way. To keep school activities on track, the team plans the project in stages, allowing essential academic functions to keep going in safe areas. This plan respects all health and safety guidelines, as well as any regulations that apply. Plus, Fleitas Restoration offers solid support and documentation for the school’s insurance claim process.

Specialized Cleaning and Odor Removal
Schools need to be super clean to keep students and staff healthy. Fleitas Restoration uses special cleaning and disinfection methods to tackle the specific challenges in a school. This includes using EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments to wipe out mold, bacteria, and other harmful germs. Things like desks, doorknobs, and lockers are thoroughly cleaned. The building’s HVAC system is also cleaned up to keep air quality high and stop contaminants from spreading. Any bad smells from water, fire, or mold damage are taken care of with advanced deodorizing tech.
Careful Reconstruction and Repairs
When everything is clean, dry, and sanitized, Fleitas Restoration’s skilled workers start fixing things up. This means repairing any structural damage to places like walls or ceilings. They also replace things like drywall, insulation, or flooring and finish up surfaces. The team pays attention to every little detail to get the place back to its original condition or better. They match paint colors, restore architectural details, and swap out fixtures. The aim is to completely erase any signs of damage and create a safe, welcoming space for learning.
Thorough Post-Restoration Testing and Check
Before wrapping things up, Fleitas Restoration runs thorough tests and checks to make sure everything meets industry standards and school needs. They do surface and air quality tests to confirm that contaminants are gone, plus moisture and mold tests to ensure a healthy environment. Finally, they conduct a comprehensive inspection with school administration to make sure all restoration goals are met. Fleitas Restoration provides complete documentation of the entire process, including all test results and certifications, for the school to keep for peace of mind.
By following this proven process with careful attention to detail, Fleitas Restoration helps schools and universities bounce back from damage while keeping students and staff safe. Their quick response, expert knowledge, and clear communication help schools manage disaster recovery smoothly and confidently return to normal operations.
