SERVPRO Understands Methods and Equipment for Water Damage Cleanup and Restoration

Cleanup after property flooding in Goulding is rarely a single activity. Several actions are necessary before the property is declared clean and dry. The level of work needed depends on the source of the water flooding the property, whether a plumbing issue, a broken appliance, or a clogged drain, and the percentage of affected areas. You should involve a professional to ensure the process runs smoothly and the home restored to its preloss state.

For proper water cleanup in Goulding, the affected property needs evaluation first before taking any mitigation steps. This assessment determines the tools and techniques necessary to clean the property. For example, if the water damage was severe enough to deposit sewage in a bathroom, special precautions are needed because of the hazardous nature of the cleanup. Extraction tools to remove the excess water and spraying tools to disinfect contaminated areas are also necessary. Our team from SERVPRO has all these tools, products, and the know-how to use them correctly.

Our SERVPRO technicians also evaluate different materials in the house to establish what can be decontaminated, and what requires removal. It is hard to disinfect contaminated porous materials, so removal may be the only option to ensure the affected area is sanitized to customary standards. It is possible to clean other materials, but the level of effort needed depends on the type of water flooding the area. Typically, grey water is more straightforward to clean compared to sewage.

Our team also checks for mold in the areas we clean. If not dealt with at an early stage, mold can become a stubborn problem to address. Besides, mold leads to bad odors and blackening of surfaces if left in place for long. This might necessitate further cleaning in the future, wasting time and money. Our SERVPRO technicians use different approaches to deal with mold. Disinfecting areas where mold is visible is a top priority. Using dehumidifiers, we also ensure all surfaces are dry because moisture leads to mold spores activating.

Proper evaluation allows the use of correct techniques when cleaning affected areas. This way, the process is completed faster and more efficiently. SERVPRO of West Pensacola can leave your property restored and dried "Like it never even happened." Call us at (850) 469-1160 any time for help.
