SERVPRO Uses Air Movers Correctly During Water Damage Cleanup in Laconia

Water damage mitigation services aim to offer hope and return your property to its preloss state after the aftermath of the disaster. For the job to be done right, it means the restoration experts need to use appropriate restoration techniques at the right time so that nothing goes wrong. The process of drying your water-damaged property is very crucial, and it also starts by choosing the right approach.

Our SERVPRO technicians can perform water removal from your Laconia property since they understand the principles behind drying, such as air movement, moisture evaporation, and dehumidification. If, for instance, we run air movers at the wrong time, something can go wrong and impact the outcome. We consider the following factors before we start the water removal process:

• Level of contamination
• Availability of residues
• The mold situation

We have to determine the water source before using air movers to dry the structure. For instance, when dealing with sewage contamination, we start by sanitizing the site to contain any microorganisms that might be present. We do that to avoid the possible spread of the contamination.

Our SERVPRO technicians remove any present dry dust from the building before turning on the air movers. It is common in basements where dry debris accumulates in various locations, which might not be necessarily affected by the water damage incident. We can achieve that through High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration or vacuuming.

In instances where it takes time before the water extraction process starts, there are chances of mold growth. Mold spores are normally invisible to the naked eye, so you might miss them if you are not a professional with the right experience. Our team does not run air movers in such cases since it might spread the contamination, so we may decide to contain the area using negative air pressure and set up a 6-mil pol barrier. We also ensure the HVAC system is turned off during the water damage restoration process.
