SERVPRO Facilitates Water Restoration in Laconia
A property hit by a storm is likely to be inundated in copious amounts of water either from the driving rain or rising groundwater. An elaborate water cleanup process is essential to restore the place to its pre-damaged state.
While your goal is to resume normalcy as fast as possible, you should hold off on water cleanup at your Laconia property until you establish the exact effects the incident has on the property. You might benefit if you involve an experienced SERVPRO team since we often deal with such cases, so we can anticipate or respond to any unusual problems you encounter.
Issues caused by storms in properties:
- Significant water accumulation
- Contamination
- Structural damage
An incident can involve only one aspect or combine all. Also, you might only notice the most apparent issue, such as the inches of stagnant water standing on the floor, but forget the hazardous materials dissolved in the water. SERVPRO professionals have a keen eye and sufficient resources to ensure cleanup goes as planned.
What it takes to clean a property:
- Patient execution
- Variety of powerful equipment
- Appropriate cleaning agents
A speedy conclusion is desirable for various reasons, including minimizing inconveniences and costs. However, some tasks, such as carpet cleaning and drying, are better handled patiently since a hasty approach can damage the material. Vigorous agitation during cleaning is known to cause delamination while drying procedures such as floating can cause stretching. Our SERVPRO technicians use tactful approaches such as applying and giving chemical agents sufficient dwell time, thus limiting the need for harsh cleaning procedures.
Choice of Cleaning Equipment
Using an appropriate tool makes work easier and improves the outcome. Proper tools can mean the entire equipment, such as extractors, or the accessories attached to the equipment, such as the type of wand. Truck-mounted extractors and high-pressure or submersible pumps are standard equipment used depending on the amount and location of the intruding water. For soiled areas, rotating brushes and pressure washers help detach soils.
