Fighting Effects of Water after Flood Damage in Nutley

A flood quickly overwhelms property with gallons of unwanted water. Apart from pooling around the lowest sections of the property where it soaks into porous materials, some of it also evaporates into the air increasing humidity levels in the house. The combined effects of these actions can amplify the damage left in the wake of a flooding incident. We offer professional mitigation services that help restore affected properties to their preloss state.

Dealing with water issues when mitigating flood damage in Nutley is a multi-step process that may require proper planning to achieve the desired result. Extraction of water should get top priority because reducing the time water sits in the property helps minimize evaporation and other forms of water migration. This can reduce the impact flooding has on your property. Our SERVPRO technicians have access to a wide range of extractors, including truck-mounted water extractors and portable ones, which we choose, based on the severity of the problem.

While extraction removes most of the water, it is relatively easier to accomplish compared to other steps. Drying wet materials or removing water that wicks into wall cavities or other concealed sections can be a complicated process which in many cases requires demolition. Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate the affected areas to determine whether there are straightforward ways to deal with the issue. Where possible, we use specialized equipment such as injecti-dry systems and drying mats to extract water from concealed areas without demolishing them.

Restoring normal humidity levels in the entire house is vital after a flooding incident. Moisture levels exceeding 60% can spark mold development in a period as short as two days leading to further deterioration of the property. Our SERVPRO technicians do thorough scoping of the house and surrounding areas. We use thermo-hygrometers to get moisture readings in and outside the house, helping us know where to position air movers and dehumidifiers for expedited drying.
