Actions Water Damage Cleanup in Your Brooklyn Home

When your home suffers water damage, it may be hard for you to locate all the affected areas. Undetected and unattended moisture continues to wreak havoc in your Brooklyn home. You may not understand which areas require extra work even when you know where the damage is. Therefore, opting for professional water removal helps you access appropriate information on the condition of your home. An expert helps reveal the seriousness of the damage and how to treat it.

The amount of water and the size of the area impacted by the intrusion plays an essential role during the water removal process at a Brooklyn home. Knowing that water damage causes a devastating setback to homes and even the smallest amount can wreak havoc on your house, SERVPRO strives to respond quickly. We do everything it takes to mitigate the damage and restore your home with minimal disruption. 

Materials that may trap hidden moisture

• Underlay
• Subflooring
• Baseboards
• Insulation    

The water removal challenge

Water removal is particularly challenging when the leak point is enclosed or the moisture migration spreads to such areas. Identifying where there is a problem and reaching the hidden moisture are two crucial steps, yet it is difficult to tackle them without sophisticated equipment. SERVPRO invests in simple and sophisticated equipment to help resolve any issues related to moisture intrusion. For example, thermal cameras help reveal whether moisture is trapped within subfloors or areas enclosed with drywall panels.

Helpful actions against hidden moisture

• Drilling weep holes
• Ventilating cavities with warm, dry air
• Specialized extraction with drying mats

Water can be trapped within a space or absorbed into porous materials. You must drain trapped water before pursuing other restoration solutions such as drying. Our SERVPRO teams can drill weep holes into walls or ceilings to release the water trapped within the cavities. Such holes can also force dry air into the area during drying. If we discover moisture trapped beneath tiles, drying mats help facilitate extractions.
