What Are The Steps For Water Damage Restoration In Nashville?
12/6/2021 (Permalink)
The damage that can be done to your North Nashville home or business by water can be extensive and may require the help of a professional water damage remediation specialist like SERVPRO. Water can do more than just ruin furniture and textiles; it can seep into walls and flooring and create unsafe and unhealthy conditions. If water damage is left untreated you can find yourself with a mold infestation.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE SERVPRO WATER DAMAGE PROCESS?
Every water damage situation is different and requires a unique solution, but the general SERVPRO process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.
Step 1: Emergency Contact: We will ask several questions regarding your water damage emergency when you call. These questions will help us determine what equipment and resources to bring, including how many trained SERVPRO Professionals may be needed.
Step 2: Inspection and Damage Assessment. When responding to a water damage emergency, we begin with a detailed inspection of your home or property, including a damage assessment. At this stage, our professionals will determine the scope of the damage and develop an appropriate plan of action.
Step 3: Water Removal/Water Extraction: After the inspection and damage assessment step, the water extraction process begins. This step removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and truck-mounted vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons of water from your property.
Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification: Once we remove the excess water, the floors and walls may appear dry, but a quick inspection will reveal they are wet to the touch. Nearly all building materials, like wood, drywall, and flooring materials, are porous and retain water. This water can cause materials to break down, warp, or cause mold damage.
Step 5: Cleaning and Repair: Your walls, flooring, and ceiling will most likely require professional cleaning services. In addition to cleaning your property’s structure, we will clean your furniture, upholstery, clothing, and other restorable belongings damaged by the water. Most flooding and water damage also require professional odor removal and deodorization since wet materials have a distinct odor.
Step 6: Restoration: Restoration, the final step, is the process of restoring your home or business to its pre-water damage condition. Restoration may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and installing new carpet or may entail major repairs, such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.
