As Homes Get Built With Many Materials, Proper Extraction and Drying of Jamesport Homes Can Vary.

Initial actions can have a clear impact on the course of water removal and dry after damages. While extraction and water removal services typically are prioritized, our SERVPRO team also benefits from emergency services like:

• Removing bulk materials
• Assessing structural damage
• Containing migrating water

Removing Excess Standing Water

Water damage mitigation for Jamesport homes often starts with the extraction of excess water from the property. Ultimately, there are two main ways to remove water from any building, through either extraction or evaporation. Eliminating standing water utilizes several extraction devices in our inventory, including wet vacuuming and pumping. It is also possible to drain some standing water from areas like the ceiling cavities or the HVAC system.

Removing Trapped Water in Padding and Carpets

Carpeting is among the most typical flooring installation in area homes, making it one of the priorities for restoration technicians to understand how to drive fully. Trapped moisture inside carpeted floors can lead to hazards like delamination, which destroys the flooring and requires removal and replacement. Moisture sensors can determine the extent of the damp carpet threat, but it will ultimately be carpet wands and deep extraction tools that remove moisture and protect the carpet and padding underneath.

Extracting Hardwoods in the Home

Likewise, hardwood flooring can also be a threatened area of homes and businesses. Drying mats play a considerable role in pulling out trapped moisture before it alters the physical composition of the planks. Dri-Eaz mats and similar products are placed on the seams of the flooring to pull out trapped water and prevent greater destruction.

Clearing out the damage to homes and businesses after severe water damage showcases several of our inventory's more powerful extraction devices. Our SERVPRO of The North Fork team can move quickly to help when disasters strike. Give us a call today at (631) 591-3771.
