SERVPRO Takes the Necessary Steps to Properly Remediate Water Damage
It is not possible to anticipate when a water emergency is likely to take place, but one thing is sure when such situations arise - you need water removal services. The occurrence of a flood, a pipe burst and an overflow from a dishwasher usually is unpredictable. Irrespective of the source of the water, your Dallas property is at risk, and prompt action is crucial.
Seeking for professional water removal services in Dallas is highly advised to prevent any possible mistake during this stressing period. When you work with our SERVPRO team, the first thing that we do is to check where the water is coming from and stop it. The other thing we look at is the category of the water on your property - it can be black, gray or clean water. From the degree of contamination, we are in a position to select the most suitable procedures to employ during the restoration.
The next step is assessing the level of the damage and in the process check how far the moisture has spread. Our SERVPRO team also inspects for any issues that may jeopardize our safety. For instance, we may switch off electrical circuits and remove any materials that are likely to cause more contamination - such as asbestos. We also inform you to remove your pets from the site and stay away from the area since you might not be having the right protective gear.
Water extraction then follows to remove the stagnant water from the floor. Dependent on the amount of the water and the accessibility of the location, we may opt for a portable water extractor or a truck-mounted water extractor. To prevent the possibility of mildew growth, we treat the surfaces using EPA-approved disinfectants. Through deodorization, we are also in a position to deal with the unpleasant odors.
With the use of air movers and dehumidifiers, our SERVPRO team enhances the drying process and at the same time regulates the moisture of surrounding air to acceptable levels. We also monitor the moisture content in materials by using moisture meters.
