Tips For Restoring Your Arizona City Home After Water Damage

A water intrusion incident in your Arizona City home can occur unexpectedly. Refrigerator ice maker breaks, plumbing leaks, and failed appliances are some ways that water can bring about issues in your house. Altogether, water loss is a stressful and messy situation. If water finds its way into cabinetry, furniture, walls, and other places, it can be a hidden and visible problem.

If you wait to address the water damage in your Arizona City residence, it can cause further issues. Porous materials like drywall and wallboard can soak up the water and remain contaminated for extended periods. Solid wood items like furniture can crack and warp, and laminated wood can separate or weaken because of exposure to water. You can start the water clean-up process by doing the following things:

•         Wear protective clothing, rubber gloves, and boots to say safe when performing the clean-up work.

•         Remove wall coverings and place them outside to dry.

•         Wipe down wooden items and take them elsewhere to dry if possible.

•         Make a list of the ruined items and take photos or videos.

•         Contact your insurance agent or company and submit a claim.

•         Place wood blocks or aluminum foil between damp flooring and the legs of heavy furniture that is difficult to move.

You should also call SERVPRO restoration specialists to assist you with the process of restoring your house after a water intrusion incident. Our technicians understand the importance of addressing water damage right away. Upon arrival to your home, we can work immediately to minimize the chances of secondary destruction like mold growth occurring while also reducing restoration expenses.

We begin the water removal and drying process after assessing the damage. Our team uses top-of-the-line equipment like industrial strength wet/dry vacuums or portable pumps to remove the water. After extracting the water, we begin the drying process using air moving and dehumidifying equipment to eliminate moisture in the affected areas. We also use specialized testing equipment like moisture sensors to detect moisture in carpeting and padding. Moisture sensors have probes, which penetrate through the carpets and pad to determine if there is water in the subfloor underneath.

Our SERVPRO crew also knows how to manipulate humidity and temperature levels to produce optimal drying conditions without causing secondary damage. Our Applied Structural Drying Technicians (ASDs) use various ventilating systems to direct air into wall cavities, replacing the moist, cold air with warmer, dry air to increase the rate of evaporation. Once everything is dry, our crew can advise you on the reconstruction or repairs required to return your property to its preloss state.
