When your home needs water damage restoration, SERVPRO techs use the latest technology and equipment for every size disaster. We are here to help.

Jamesport SERVPRO Water Mitigation Technicians Can Extract Moisture 24/7

Basement water cleanup can prove challenging for Riverhead homeowners, especially during winter. One small pipe leak can allow gallons of water into a property and onto basement furniture, storage items, and structural components. The potential for costly structural repairs can increase without fast-acting professional intervention.

Jamesport water mitigation professionals from SERVPRO can render extraction, drying, sanitation, and rebuilding services within hours of a homeowner’s initial call. From calibrated moisture sensors and meters to industrial-grade extraction units, restoration equipment is designed to be flexible in application and effective at detecting and removing water from a given property.

SERVPRO’s Moisture Detection and Extraction Methods

Before SERVPRO technicians can set up air movers and dehumidifiers, they must inspect the property and pinpoint water damage. Once factors like temperature, damage location, and relative and specific humidity are established, the crew can begin moisture extraction, which eliminates excess water and accelerates the structural and content drying process.

• Inspection tools include penetrating and non-penetrating moisture sensors and meters, which can be calibrated for surfaces such as wood and drywall
• Thermal imaging cameras detect water behind walls and ceilings through changes in temperature consistent with moisture exposure
• Data collected during inspection helps SERVPRO technicians establish accurate drying goals
• Before setting up dehumidifiers and air movers for drying, technicians use portable extractors, mops, squeegees, and wet/dry vacuums to prepare the basement
• If the basement has a large volume of standing water present, techs can use truck-mounted extractors, and gas-powered sump pumps to eliminate excess moisture
