Pensacola Homes and Commercial Buildings Benefit from SERVPRO's Extensive Industry-Leading Equipment Manned by Skilled Technicians

Why SERVPRO Chooses Certain Equipment for Flood Damage Mitigation in Pensacola

During a flood, Pensacola neighborhoods become murky places where sidewalks disappear, and safe areas become dangerous. Gas lines become weak and can cause explosions. Water lines also become stressed wherever they have exposed sections because of the force of the water flowing around them. Entire neighborhoods often lose power and protecting people in the area from electrocution is a crucial consideration.
 
We want the residents of Pensacola to know why SERVPRO uses different types of equipment when mitigating flood damage in their homes. We use industry-leading devices that allow our work to flow more smoothly and concludes as soon as possible. We also work in teams to make our labor as efficient as possible as well as your insurance adjuster.
 
When a home has crawlspaces, these also suffer during a flood. We use submersible pumps that quickly extract the water and a large amount of debris from these hidden spaces. We do this after we drain the water from the living areas above if any is present. While this sublevel might seem unimportant compared to the rest of your home, its condition can affect the rest of your home.
 
We also use air scrubbers after we have removed drywall that came into contact with the floodwaters. These machines act like air vacuums that entrap any microbes that exist in the air. Keeping the microbe population low means your home's risk of infestations significantly decreases.
 
We use infrared thermal imaging to detect hidden water in smaller incidents, but during flooding, we may save this step. Mapping out moisture areas helps establish drying goals as we compare them to unaffected areas of the structure.

We know that cabinets and built-in countertops can trap water underneath them from when the floodwaters flowed above their bases, so we drain these areas. Small drill bits make holes small enough so that it is easy to cover them later. We use our Injectidry system to air the space out with warm air and treat it with an antimicrobial spray.
