Water damage can occur from dozens of sources, creating unique restoration obstacles for every residence. Our fast response to emergencies can get mitigation started immediately, including needed water removal approaches.

Addressing Physical Standing Water

When water removal for West Hartford homes is discussed, many property owners immediately consider the extraction of pooling water after emergencies like burst pipes or flooding. Surface water removal uses pumps and vacuums to manage standing liquid that could absorb into building materials without swift action.

Trapped Water in Building Materials

Water can be absorbed into building materials and threaten the rest of the property. Saturated construction elements can sag and collapse or, in other cases, allow mold damage to form and spread. Air movers directed at these wet surfaces can help to manage damp elements and prevent permanent structural damage through evaporation.

Moisture Content in the Air

Moisture in the environment must also be a focal point of the extraction processes. Management of water molecules saturating the air combines drying practices with processes like condensation, absorption, and extraction. Some of the tools necessary for this process include:

• Portable heaters
• Desiccant dehumidifiers
• Refrigerant dehumidifiers
• Air movers

The Impact on Contents

Contents are often one of the most heavily damaged elements of the property. While restoring and cleaning the structure remains a priority, removing water from contents can also be a focus. We can achieve these goals through several direct strategies starting with relocation. SERVPRO can move lightly impacted contents to a new area of the house to expedite drying.

From mitigation to restoration, removing the most amount of water from damaged areas of your home is a common objective after disasters. Our SERVPRO of West Hartford team has several strategies for accomplishing this, beginning as soon as we arrive. Give us a call now at (860) 206-6141.
