How to Properly Perform Water Removal in West Lynn

When water damage occurs in a home, there’s more than what meets the eyes. Water may get into vents and ducts, leading to further issues like structural damage and mold infestation. The water removal process helps to prevent such problems.

Professional water removal in your West Lynn home is essential because it is impossible to reverse water damage only by wiping out residues, cleaning, and drying. The water restoration process has several stages and considers all the small, vital details, which may lead to further problems if they remain unnoticed.

SERVPRO has a team of dedicated experts who can clean, repair, and restore your house as efficiently and quickly as possible. With our team working on your residence with the help of advanced equipment, restoration is rapid. We break down our water restoration process into these stages:

• Inspection
• Removing the stagnant water 
• Removing damaged items
• Cleaning 
• Drying 

Inspection

Assessing the damage is an essential step in water damage repair. Our technicians can carefully pre-inspect all aspects of the ruined areas. We can look for issues like falling ceilings, electrical hazards, and deteriorating subfloors.

Removing stagnant water

Our SERVPRO team can use water extraction equipment to remove the water from floors, carpets, and other surfaces. This makes the water restoration process more efficient and successful.

Removing ruined items

We can remove all the items that water ruined, including drywall, sheetrock, or insulation. Removing such building materials is vital for drying the home thoroughly. SERVPRO offers controlled demolition of ruined building materials.

Cleaning

We can clean salvageable personal items to restore them to their normal condition. We use disinfectants as part of the cleaning process.

Drying

The goal of drying a home is to reduce the surface humidity levels to prevent the further growth of bacteria or mold. Drying equipment can reduce humidity levels to 50-40 percent or less. Our SERVPRO technicians can place air movers on the floors to increase air movement and use dehumidifiers to minimize the amount of moisture in the air.
