Water Damage Experts in Dallas Discuss Different Techniques Used During Restoration

Any time moisture finds its way into your Dallas home various types of problems can exist. During most water damage restoration projects several different types of materials inside your building can get wet. Porous materials such as carpets and fabrics soak water up easier but they dry more quickly once they are wet. Non-porous materials repel water well, but once they do get affected, it can be difficult to dry them out. Whenever you notice water damage inside your residence, it is wise to call in a professional restoration company like SERVPRO that has access to the industry's most advanced technology.
 
In some situations, certain things that get wet may require specialty drying equipment and different techniques to get dry. When our SERVPRO technicians mitigate any water damage project in Dallas, we use a combination of our training and experience to figure out the best way to remove moisture from your contents and building materials as quickly as possible. For example, we use different methods if we are trying to dry out thin carpet that was just a little damp, then we use removing moisture from a thick carpet that got heavily saturated. We can also use equipment that is made for specific situations such as drying mats for wet hardwood floors.
 
One advantage we have at SERVPRO is that our team is highly trained. All of our technicians are IICRC certified in various restoration certification programs. Our crew constantly goes through on-the-job and classroom training so that we get better at dealing with a large variety of water loss scenarios. We use the combination of our experience with different issues and the things we have learned in our training classes to determine the best way to go about mitigating each project.

Even if you do not live in a flood zone, Dallas is prone to different types of water damage including backed up or burst pipes. If the excess water contains sewage, it can contaminate the area with dangerous bacteria. The water can also penetrate cabinets and spaces beneath them, causing damage to the wood and particle board, as well as hazardous mold growth.

The water removal process begins with a thorough inspection of your property, including a water damage assessment. SERVPRO technicians determine the scope of the damage to develop a proper plan of action. Being cautious and careful is also a priority, in addition to making sure sockets, appliances, and electrical items are not a hazard.

Our technicians check for the water source in your home and then stop it before commencing the drying process. However, we have to identify the category of water damage to restore your property safely to its original state. The type of water contamination affects the specific restoration process used to reverse the water damage. The main ones include clean, black, and gray water damage.

After inspecting your home for the extent of the water damage, SERVPRO professionals look for safety concerns and describe them to you. We then proceed to move furniture and other contents before blocking items to prevent rust or stains on the wet carpet. The water extraction process involves removing most of the water from your property. This step is important to avoid mold and secondary water damage. During this time, we use powerful vacuum units and pumps to quickly remove numerous gallons of water from your property.
