Water damage can quickly affect your home. When you are dealing with such a situation, it’s better to call in the professionals.

The Best Results Start with Water Mitigation

Over time, different restoration professionals have learned that water acts in specific ways within homes. Working together, they have developed protocols that assist in providing uniform results to customers, including those in Marysville. One of the areas in the restoration industry included in these protocols involves water mitigation.

For SERVPRO technicians to provide homeowners with the best possible results, we must start with water mitigation of their Marysville residence. Without it, any restoration work we carry out becomes wasted energy and resources.

However, mitigating water damage before beginning the restoration work has some valuable advantages, such as:

• Reducing the amount of time needed to dry the structural elements in the house,
• Reducing the severity of any secondary water damage, and
• Ensuring our goals and timelines are attainable.

SERVPRO invests heavily in water extraction equipment because when less water needs to evaporate and end up in the air where our desiccant machines can eliminate it, the less time it takes to complete the drying process.

Water does more than damage things inside your residence. Water can also help microbes like mold to grow wildly and begin colonizing other areas of your dwelling. Removing water from your flooring keeps it from continuing to wick up your wall, ruining the drywall underneath. Wood floors swell less when there is less water present. An earlier drying process can also reduce the amount of cupping and crowning a wood floor experiences.

Mitigating a water emergency also helps us stay within our time frames. Additionally, when certain situations arise earlier in the restoration process (for example, the discovery of lead-based paint or asbestos-containing tiles), we have more time to contact a qualified specialist to address the situation. Doing this ensures that we meet all legal requirements, eliminating difficulties in the future.
