Water in Your West Hartford House? We’ll Remove It ALL

8/17/2021 (Permalink)

Who to trust in a water emergency? SERVPRO of West Hartford knows how to remove ALL the water in your home, preventing problems down the road.

Many water cleanup companies will tell you they are experts. It can be hard to know who to trust, especially when you have a flood or severe leak underway at your West Hartford house, and you need to get help fast! One way to determine if you can rely on a company is to learn about how they approach the often-tricky task of completely removing all the moisture from your home after a water emergency.

The reason this is important is that there’s more water than meets the eye. So, in addition to the visible water on the floor, there is also hidden water and moisture lurking inside your floors, floor coverings, walls, furnishings and possessions. These all must be completely dried out, or you may end up with damage to your home’s structure, odors that linger and an active mold infestation.

So, why is SERVPRO of West Hartford the company to call when you need complete water damage remediation? It’s because we bring the right people, tools and experience to do the job the right way and completely remove all the water from your home and property.

First, Remove the Water

SERVPRO responds to your water emergency with truck-mounted wet/dry vacuums and pumps, which we use to rapidly remove most of the water from your home—and that can be up to hundreds or thousands of gallons!

To be sure that the water is removed completely, we use tools and equipment such as:

• Infrared cameras to seek out water hiding behind walls and in ceilings
• Moisture detectors, hygrometers and other meters to measure the level of water saturation

Removing all the standing water makes the next phase, drying and dehumidifying, go more quickly. 

Next, Dry Everything Out

SERVPRO’s industrial-quality water extraction equipment removes most but not all of the moisture in your soaked floors, drywall and walls. These porous building materials hold onto water, so if they are not completely dried out, they may swell, warp and degrade—or become a host site for mold.

We determine the numbers of air movers and dehumidifiers needed to dry your home by measuring square footage, temperature and humidity levels. Then we use our industrial-grade dehumidifiers and high-speed air movers to speed up the evaporation of moisture. As we work, we monitor our progress with moisture meters.

While all this is going on at your home, SERVPRO dries, cleans and deodorizes your water-damaged furnishings and personal possessions. Finally, when everything is fully dried out and dehumidified, we restore it all to your house.
