SERVPRO Provides Highly Trained Technicians to Deliver Water Restoration Services

The term water damage is broad since it describes a myriad of losses triggered by water intrusion into unwanted areas of a property. Mitigating such damages in your Santa Clarita home requires the right resources, whether it is technical skills, equipment, or chemical products.

When done properly, water damage mitigation helps Santa Clarita homeowners keep costs manageable and reduce the inconveniences caused by water intrusions. It is easier to meet your mitigation goals with the assistance of SERVPRO professionals since we have significant experience handling all the problems arising after water intrusions.

Mitigation stops the problems triggered by moisture attacks on materials, including:

• Mold or bacteria proliferation
• Rotting
• Rusting
• Swelling or delamination of materials

When left to develop, the problems interfere with the physical state or structural integrity of materials which leads to the weakness or deterioration in the physical appeal that you identify as damage. Mitigation helps limit or stop these problems depending on how and when it is done.

Various skills help facilitate water mitigation, including:

• Structural drying
• Microbial remediation
• Odor management

Addressing water damage in structural materials is particularly challenging, especially when the moisture is trapped in cavities or the affected materials have vapor barriers. Additional steps such as controlled demolition or removal of vapor barriers may be necessary in such cases. Our SERVPRO technicians make flood cuts to access wall interiors or use perforation rollers to manage vapor barriers such as wallpaper and gloss paints, thus improving moisture removal.

Microbial growth ruins finishes, emits a bad odor, and accelerates the deterioration of materials. The mitigation procedures required to stop the processes include drying and applying antimicrobial products. Our SERVPRO technicians use drying equipment such as air movers and dehumidifiers to accelerate drying, thus limiting microbial growth, which takes at least 24-48 hours to start showing signs.
