Fix it, and Keep on Fixing It

If you're like most homeowners, you're already aware that there's little you can do to prevent damage to your home when it comes to random acts of nature. Fortunately, however, services exist designed to help minimize and even prevent certain types of damage. Water damage remediation services, for instance, can keep your home from being rendered unlivable by flood damage.

Besides being able to provide immediate assistance, 24/7 water damage remediation services typically have a variety of specialized equipment designed to quickly and effectively remove water and dry out the affected area. This equipment is designed to quickly and effectively remediate water damage, prevent further damage, and minimize the risk of mold growth. Some common equipment used by these services include: 

Water Pumps and Extraction Units

Water pumps and extraction units are important tools used by 24/7 water damage remediation services to remove standing water. These devices can quickly and efficiently pump out water from flooded areas, such as basements, crawl spaces, and other low-lying areas. They come in a variety of sizes and capacities, from portable units to truck-mounted pumps, and can be used to remove water from hard-to-reach areas or large volumes of water.

Dehumidifiers

Flooding can result in high levels of moisture in the air, which can make it difficult to dry out the affected area and increase the risk of mold growth. Dehumidifiers work by removing moisture from the air and reducing the humidity levels in the affected area.

High-Powered Fans

In the water damage remediation process, the use of high-powered fans can greatly reduce the time it takes to dry out an affected area, making it an essential tool for restoring a property to its pre-loss condition.

Moisture Meters

In the water damage remediation process, accurate moisture measurements are critical in ensuring that the affected area is thoroughly dried and the risk of mold growth is minimized. Moisture meters come in various types, including pin-type meters that penetrate the material to measure moisture content, and non-invasive meters that use electromagnetic waves to measure moisture levels.

Drying Mats and Floor Drying Systems 

Drying mats are large absorbent mats that can be placed over carpet or flooring to remove moisture and dry out the affected area. Floor drying systems are larger, more complex setups that are used to dry out larger areas of flooring or subfloors

HEPA Air Scrubbers

Mold spores can easily become airborne, leading to potential health problems for those in the affected area. HEPA air scrubbers can help to reduce the risk of mold exposure by filtering the air to remove mold particles.
