Mitigating Water Damage for Santa Clarita Homes

More Ways to Mitigate Losses in Santa Clarita Properties Than Water Removal Services.
From the arrival of our experienced and WRT-certified professionals to your residence, every effort started is deliberate. We focus on the methods and measures possible to limit the damage to contents and structural elements while preventing secondary effects like mold growth when possible.
Eliminating Surface Water Concerns
While there are more methods for reducing the impact of water damage than removal services, water mitigation in Santa Clarita properties often hinges on extraction. Removing surface water concerns prevents porous materials from becoming oversaturated. The more building materials that absorb moisture, the greater the likelihood of deterioration and structural failures.
Relocating Contents and Inventory Services
Another one of the initial actions that our professionals can take when arriving at water-damaged homes and businesses is protecting the exposed contents and personal belongings. Especially in situations like flooding or burst pipes, an excess amount of water can severely threaten stored items and keepsakes in your property. Relocating these belongings follows a few simple guidelines, such as finding a location that is:
- Dry
- Nearby
- Out of Harm's Way
- Accessible
Structural and Plumbing Repairs
An advantage to selecting our professionals to handle the mitigation process is our ability to aid with reconstruction and temporary construction needs for the house. Board-up and tarping services are often required when water damage leaves structural vulnerabilities. We can also help repair damaged portions of plumbing where breaks or leaks occurred.
Regarding water damage restoration and recovery, mitigation is one of the most critical elements of this process. Our SERVPRO of Santa Clarita Valley team's first actions to recover water-damaged properties set the pace for the entire restoration and cleanup process. We are prepared and available to help 24/7 when you call (661) 296-4600.
