Water Damage Restoration Process in Deerfield Beach

4/28/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Deerfield Beach has the equipment and experience needed to extract water.

Responding to any calls for water damage quickly is what we do. Water that has entered the home has the potential to be a biohazard or safety hazard and can cause extensive damage in a short period of time. Our crew has had years of experience dealing with water emergencies and knows a proper restoration process is critical.

Assessment and Inspection

Once our team is on site, we walk through your home or building, inspecting the main affected area and those around it. We do this because we understand water is able to permeate many different materials and flow quickly to more than one area. When inspecting any potential damage, we look to the source of water and determine the category. This is especially important as different categories of water require different precautions and cleanup.

We also look for mold damage, whether it is existing or new mold, or an environment that would give mold the opportunity grow. With the right conditions, mold can develop in as little as 24 hours, spreading quickly and causing further damage.

Water Removal and Pack Out

After the completed assessment and our crew has walked you through what comes next, we begin water removal. During this step there is a probability that we will conduct a pack out of your home or building. This will help to sort and rid of any items that are not restorable. A pack out also mitigates any damage to items that were not affected. Our crew will then use heavy-duty, powerful pumps to remove hundreds of gallons of water from your property quickly.

Drying

Following the water extraction, dehumidifiers and air movers will placed throughout the damaged area for drying. At this time, our crew may remove building materials like drywall, insulation, carpet or wood. Due to the porous characteristics of these materials, water has likely infiltrated your walls or floors. Thorough drying is not possible if these building materials are not removed, allowing the water to sit, creating secondary water damage.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

Using proprietary cleaning supplies and methods, we sanitize all valuables and areas that were included in the damage. Content restoration is also a service we provide during this time, if needed, to lessen the number of items you may need to replace. Our crew works to return your home or business to a healthy, inhabitable state.

Rebuild/Repairs

During the very last stages of this water damage restoration, repairs may be required to complete the job. This can include replacing your drywall and flooring or, based on the extent of damage, rebuilding whole areas. Whichever option is necessary, our team is trained and equipped to do so.

The length of time for each water damage restoration job can vary as can the steps required. Our team has experienced numerous water damage emergencies with different necessities for each. We do our best to work quickly and effectively, no matter the process, to get your Deerfield Beach, FL home or building back to pre-damage conditions.
