The faster we get to work the sooner you can get your business back, and we have found that communication is vital in this regard.

The commercial response units at SERVPRO have access to a wide range of equipment to get rid of standing water. The most appropriate method is by using a submersible pump that sends large quantities of flood water to a nearby sewer point. We can also mobilize truck-mounted extraction units when standing water levels drop below two inches and cannot be pumped efficiently. We the excess water gone, our next step is to assess the level of damage.

Water naturally migrates from the source of damage outward. In some cases, that can result in saturation of your subfloor, crawlspaces, fittings or wall cavities. Using thermal imaging cameras alongside moisture meters we can accurately assess the amount of liquid absorbed into hard floors or behind walls. These areas may not seem like a priority, but in humid conditions, damp spots can quickly result in mold growth.

The primary means of getting rid of residual moisture is by creating airflow. Drilling small holes beneath skirting boards or in non-visible areas of a cabinet allows us to access the inner cavities. From here, we can deploy rapid air-movers fitted with a flex hose to circulate warm, dry air into the cavity and ensure the property is thoroughly dry both inside and out.
