Approaches that Help Deal with the Challenges of Water Damage in Pensacola

Water is the standard cleaning solution in almost every situation. However, just like its positive utilities, it can cause a wide range of problems if it spills into unwanted areas of your home. Stains, loss of structural integrity in different materials, and microbial growth are just a few examples. To restore your home to preloss state, you have to address all the issues. We offer Pensacola homeowners an integrated solution that deals with the problem "Like it never even happened."

After an incident of water damage in Pensacola, most of the water remains visible, pooling on the floor and other surfaces, while the rest soaks into fabrics and other porous materials. However, a certain percentage migrates beyond the visible areas. Restoration can only be thorough if all the water in concealed areas is traced and dried. Our SERVPRO technicians use advanced gadgets to do this. We have FLIR thermal cameras that identify wet and warm areas even if concealed behind a wall. We also have moisture sensors and meters with probes that penetrate materials establishing whether there is excess moisture beneath the dry surface.

Stains form easily if dyes in fabrics run after exposure to water affecting other fabrics, upholstery, and carpets. Stains can also develop from rusting metals, microbial growth which forms black or white patches on fabrics or seepage of resins and finishes from wood. Most cases of staining happen if restoration efforts take too long to start. Our SERVPRO technicians work fast to prevent this. For example, we remove items like area rugs, books, and draperies lying on the carpet to avoid staining. We also work on any existing stains before drying carpets to prevent setting.

Removing all the standing water from a house is an integral part of the restoration. Such removal should happen fast because, within 24-48 hours after the spill, mold starts developing. Apart from removing water, there is a need to lower the relative humidity because levels above 60% can lead to mold growth even all the water is extracted. Our SERVPRO technicians use high capacity water extractors that can remove up to 36,000 gallons of water per day. We also have desiccant and refrigerant dehumidifiers that help expedite drying.
