Steelman & Co. Restoration was created to fill a clear need in the Miami Valley: a locally owned, highly trained restoration
company that treats every home as if it were their own. Rather than chasing volume or rushing from job to job, they focus on
delivering careful, thorough service rooted in industry standards and clear communication.

Their approach is built on three core principles:

1. Immediate Response Matters

Water and microbial growth don’t wait. A delay of even a few hours can dramatically increase the severity and cost of damage.
Steelman & Co. Restoration prioritizes rapid response to emergencies throughout the Dayton area and surrounding communities.

2. Science-Driven Restoration

Steelman & Co. Restoration doesn’t guess. They rely on IICRC-approved standards, moisture meters, thermal imaging, and
proven drying strategies to ensure each project is handled correctly. Their training helps ensure structures are dried and
cleaned to appropriate, measurable targets – not just “good enough.”

3. Respect for Property & People

Restoration work happens in personal spaces: living rooms, bedrooms, basements, kitchens, and long-term rental properties.
Steelman & Co. Restoration understands that they’re not just handling building materials – they’re working where people live
and build their lives. That’s why they protect belongings, maintain a clean jobsite, and keep homeowners and landlords informed
at every step.

Comprehensive Restoration Services for the Miami Valley

Steelman & Co. Restoration specializes in three high-risk, high-impact areas of property damage:
water mitigation, mold remediation, and sewage sanitation. Each of these
requires specialized training, protective equipment, and a systematic approach.

Water Mitigation – Emergency Water Damage Response

Water damage is one of the most common emergencies property owners face. A failed sump pump, a frozen pipe, a supply line break,
a washing machine overflow, or a heavy storm can send water into basements, crawlspaces, and living areas in minutes. Without
proper mitigation, that water can cause structural damage, mold growth, and long-term issues with air quality and odor.

Steelman & Co. Restoration offers full-service water mitigation throughout Dayton and the surrounding communities, including
residential homes, rental properties, and small commercial buildings.

Water Mitigation Services Include:

• Emergency water extraction and pump-out – Rapid removal of standing water using professional extraction equipment.
• Moisture mapping & thermal imaging – Identifying where water has traveled behind walls, under flooring, and into building cavities.
• Structural drying – Deploying air movers and dehumidifiers to dry framing, subfloors, drywall, and other building materials to appropriate moisture levels.
• Selective demolition – Removing only what is necessary (such as sections of drywall, baseboard, or flooring) to speed drying and reduce reconstruction costs.
• Content protection – Moving or blocking furniture and belongings to protect them during the drying process.
• Anti-microbial treatments – Applying approved products to help prevent future microbial growth in affected areas.
• Daily monitoring & documentation – Tracking moisture levels, adjusting equipment, and keeping detailed records for homeowners and insurance companies.

Common Water Damage Scenarios in the Dayton Area

The Miami Valley’s mix of older housing stock, basements, and seasonal storms makes water damage a frequent concern. Steelman & Co.
Restoration regularly sees:

• Basement floods after heavy rain in Dayton, Kettering, and Riverside.
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter in older homes in Oakwood, Englewood, and Clayton.
• Leaking supply lines to washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators in homes across Beavercreek, Centerville, and Bellbrook.
• Roof leaks and attic water intrusion during storms in communities throughout the Miami Valley.
• Slow leaks in rentals and investment properties that go unnoticed until flooring or ceilings are visibly damaged.

In each case, Steelman & Co. Restoration’s goal is to respond fast, stabilize the situation, and dry the property to safe
standards to protect both the structure and its long-term value.

Mold Remediation – Safe, Certified, and Thorough

Mold is often the byproduct of an unnoticed leak, high humidity, or a previous water issue that wasn’t fully dried. It can damage
building materials and impact indoor air quality if not properly handled. Steelman & Co. Restoration follows IICRC guidelines
and industry best practices to remove mold safely and systematically.

Steelman & Co. Mold Remediation Process

• Assessment & inspection – Determining the extent of visible and suspected mold growth, as well as identifying
  the moisture source that allowed it to develop in the first place.
• Containment – Using plastic barriers, negative air machines, and HEPA filtration to keep mold spores from
  spreading to unaffected parts of the home.
• Removal of affected materials – Carefully removing and bagging contaminated drywall, insulation, and other
  porous materials.
• HEPA vacuuming and detailed cleaning – Cleaning remaining surfaces, framing, and nearby areas with HEPA filtration
  to remove settled spores.
• Application of antimicrobial products – Treating affected areas to help stop new growth from recurring on
  cleaned surfaces.
• Drying and moisture control – Ensuring the underlying moisture issue is addressed, whether that’s a leak,
  humidity problem, or drainage concern.
• Final inspection – Verifying that the space has been remediated, cleaned, and returned to normal moisture levels.

Where Mold Commonly Appears in the Miami Valley

Because Dayton and the surrounding region experience humid summers and a wide range of seasonal weather, mold problems are not
uncommon. Steelman & Co. Restoration frequently encounters mold in:

• Basements and crawlspaces with elevated humidity or past water intrusion.
• Bathrooms and showers where ventilation is limited.
• Under kitchen sinks and behind dishwashers due to slow plumbing leaks.
• Attics with poor ventilation or roof leaks after storms.
• Rental units where leaks went unreported or unnoticed over time.

Steelman & Co. Restoration focuses on both the visible problem and the underlying cause. The goal is not just to remove what
you can see, but to correct the conditions that allowed mold to thrive in the first place.

Sewage Sanitation – Safe Cleanup for Backups & Contaminated Water

Few emergencies are as disruptive – or as hazardous – as a sewage backup. Contaminated “black water” can carry bacteria, viruses,
and other harmful substances that require specialized handling and sanitation. This is not a situation for DIY cleanup or standard
household cleaners.

Steelman & Co. Restoration is equipped to handle sewage and Category 3 water incidents throughout the Miami Valley with the
proper techniques and protective equipment.

Sewage Sanitation Services Include:

• Emergency extraction of sewage and contaminated water from basements, bathrooms, and living areas.
• Removal and disposal of saturated carpet, padding, drywall, insulation, and other affected materials.
• Professional disinfection and sanitation of all affected surfaces using EPA-registered antimicrobial products.
• Air scrubbing and filtration to reduce airborne contaminants and help improve indoor air quality.
• Structural drying after sanitation to ensure that moisture levels are brought back to normal ranges.
• Odor control to address persistent smells that can linger after a backup.
• Documentation for insurance claims, including photos and moisture readings.

Common Causes of Sewage Backups in the Dayton Region

• Heavy rainfall overloading local sewer systems.
• Tree roots infiltrating older clay or cast iron sewer lines.
• Main line blockages caused by debris or buildup.
• Failed sump pumps or backflow preventers.
• Older infrastructure in certain Dayton neighborhoods and surrounding townships.

No matter the cause, a sewage incident demands quick, careful action. Steelman & Co. Restoration prioritizes safety, proper
sanitation, and clear communication so property owners understand each step of the cleanup process.

The Importance of Acting Quickly

When it comes to water, mold, and sewage damage, time truly matters:

• Within minutes – Water begins spreading into flooring, drywall, and structural cavities.
• Within hours – Materials start swelling and warping; humidity rises and creates a favorable environment for mold.
• Within days – Odors intensify, mold can begin to grow, and more materials may become unsalvageable.
• Within weeks – Structural damage and long-term air quality issues can become much more serious.

Steelman & Co. Restoration is built around the urgency of this timeline. Their focus is getting on site, stabilizing the
situation, and putting a clear plan in place as quickly as possible.
