6/3/2022 (Permalink)
Water Mitigation Involves Specific Equipment
Because of the time-sensitive nature of water damage incidents as they impact homes throughout the valley, having a team ready to mobilize for mitigation right away is valuable. After burst pipes and leaks, several mitigative focuses are necessary, including:
- Water Removal Services
- Content Relocation
- Controlled Demolition
- Mold Prevention
- Containment
Emergency Services Precede Restoration
Water mitigation for Santa Clarita homes and businesses hinges on the emergency services that SERVPRO professionals can provide. We mobilize fast in a crisis, isolating the damaged areas and working quickly to prevent the situation from getting worse.
What Is Expected for Mitigation?
Knowing the needed equipment for mitigation allows homeowners to anticipate specific actions and tools to be more at ease through needed recovery efforts. Our mitigation solutions often require:
- Extractors: Water removal services are the focal point of the earliest mitigation, so several extractors will be utilized to achieve these goals.
- Demolition Equipment: From removing damaged plumbing to pulling off panels of drywall damaged by water exposure, demolition is often needed in water restoration.
- Antimicrobial Products: Mold prevention is vital in moist environments, as prolonged dampness in work areas can facilitate microbial colonies. We have inhibiting products that restorers can spray on susceptible surfaces.
- Packing Materials: Content relocation is a large part of the recovery process, so our technicians carefully prepare these items for transport to our SERVPRO warehouse when necessary.
- Specialty Drying Tools: Getting certain drying practices started early can benefit the structure and prevent unnecessary tear-out. Carpet wands and drying mats help eliminate trapped water in flooring and reduce demolition.
Mitigation is one of the most significant phases of water restoration our SERVPRO of Santa Clarita Valley team provides. It requires precise action and multiple tools from our inventory of cutting-edge equipment. We are standing by now to mobilize and help when disasters strike at (661) 296-4600.
