When you notice that water damage has affected your property, it is important to act efficiently and immediately. If you do not, you could make your living space susceptible to secondary water damage and expensive repairs. The best course of action to take after water damage is to call a team of trained restoration experts. Typically, the water damage restoration experts will be able to offer the following services:
Protecting Your Personal Property
Before they start the process of evacuating water from your property, the water damage restoration experts will remove your personal property from the regions of the home that have been flooded. These items will be photographed, and the contractors will then transfer the belongings from the property and take them to a warehouse where they will be thoroughly cleaned and restored.
Water Extraction
Water extraction plays an integral role in the restoration process. Remediation experts will use specialized equipment to complete this process. Examples include drying mat suction systems and vacuum-powered systems. One of the challenging regions of the property to extract water from is wood floors. Wood floors present a challenge because tiny amounts of water can get trapped between and beneath planks. This can be particularly problematic for floors that were installed with several distinct kinds of wood.
Drying and Dehumidification
Once the standing water on your property is extracted, the remediation team will begin the drying and dehumidification process. To complete this work, the contractors will use equipment such as air movers and speed dryers. This equipment is effective in removing moisture from the surfaces of your property and into the air. Once in the air, the moisture can be dealt with through the use of commercial dehumidifiers.
Testing/Treating Moisture Intrusion
While water damage remediation experts can use their own eyes to gauge whether your property is dry, they make the process more efficient through the use of sophisticated moisture tests. Some of the tests include infrared photography, spectroscopy, and moisture tests.
