SERVPRO Provides Appropriate Water Restoration Solutions for West Mystic Households

Water is a valuable resource, but in large quantities, it can quickly turn into a destructive force that destroys a wide range of materials, including wood, fabrics, and metal. Water mitigation through steps like moisture management can help limit water intrusion effects on your West Mystic home. 

Water mitigation in a West Mystic home can be done within or away from the premises. Actions that help within the premises mainly involve moisture removal. On the other hand, mitigation away from the premises is when there is a content move out. The expertise SERVPRO offers is helpful under both circumstances.

Helpful water mitigation steps

• Inspecting the property
• Water extraction
• Doing temporary fixes

Permanent Solutions For Water Damage

When mitigating the effects of intruding water, you should also consider the long-term outcome. For example, what happens to the moisture absorbed by materials or the humidity conditions when moisture in wet materials evaporates? Advanced mitigation steps can help deliver long-term results. Our SERVPRO technicians take care of moisture remnants after removing standing water by:

• Removing damaged materials
• Conducting thorough drying
• Deodorization
• Refinishing surfaces

Materials are considered damaged when issues like delamination, warping, or rotting occurs. Since these changes are irreversible, removing the deteriorated materials is essential to ensure they do not cause other problems like odor or structural weakening. Our SERVPRO technicians help remove wet carpets and pads. If only one section of the house is affected, we can ensure neat cuts separating carpets in affected and unaffected rooms. Other materials that require removal when they deteriorate include ceiling panels, drywall, and insulation.

Thoroughly drying all items and especially structural materials is essential. Our SERVPRO crews combine more than one drying approach, such as setting up several air movers and a dehumidifier in each room to facilitate better evaporation.
