When water damage affects your family home, the professionals need to be called in. Team SERVPRO can effectively mitigate the situation in your home.

SERVPRO in Setauket Uses Water Mitigation Techniques that Reduce Losses Significantly for your Home

Residential properties are not designed to sustain water losses over an extended period. While small spillages may be fine to deal with on a case-by-case basis, larger water intrusion events, such as a consistent leaking appliance or pipe, should often be dealt with by professionals. Some types of flooring in a home may be susceptible to mold growth with constant exposure to moisture. Other types of flooring, such as laminates and ply, may slowly begin to bubble up or cup. Suppose you notice any of these signs in your home, particularly close to wet room areas like laundry rooms. In that case, it is vital to have a professional restoration technician investigate further. Water exposure can lead to:

• Persistent mold growth
• Water discoloration on materials
• Structural water damage

The process of reducing losses associated with water is known as water mitigation by Setauket residents. Water mitigation can cover a wide range of activities, including fast-drying methods and water migration assessments. It is well understood that restoring materials is less expensive than replacing them, which is why mitigation is such an essential part of any professional restoration technician's tool kit. Our experience in dealing with water intrusion issues has led to us expanding our roster of technicians and their expertise. Today, we incorporate Textile Cleaners (JTC), Carpet Cleaners (CCT), and Applied Structural Drying Technicians (ASD) among our roster to ensure that we have the necessary skills to deal with whatever size disaster we face. 

• Water exposure is a time-sensitive issue, so powerful drying equipment such as rapid-air movers and water extractors are used in most mitigation services.
• Taking a specialized approach toward restoring upholstery and textiles can often help save money for homeowners who can avoid expensive replacements.
• Applied structural drying refers to assessing and drying structural cavities like wall, floor, or ceiling spaces. Usually, this process is used when water intrusion results from pipes or flooding.
