Let SERVPRO provide safe water damage mitigation to your Ferndale property.

SERVPRO Minimize the Losses from Ferndale Water Damage

Maintaining your Ferndale home is one of the best ways to prevent water damage. Regularly check your plumbing and heating pipes and inspect appliance hoses and faucets. However, you may not always foresee such disasters; hence when this happens, you need to act quickly to protect your home and its contents from incurring further damages.

Water mitigation in Ferndale homes is essential because many materials, such as drywall, wood, insulation, and all types of furnishings, are porous. This, therefore, makes it possible for water damage to continue to worsen if no rapid measures are taken. SERVPRO has the right equipment and training to remove excess moisture and thoroughly dry your home's furnishings and structural elements.

Other immediate actions include

• Standing upholstered cushions on end so both sides can begin to dry
• Removing area rugs and other temporary floor coverings
• Moving wet items to a dry, well-ventilated area
• Identifying electrical hazards and avoiding them

Entering a room with standing water while the electricity is still on is hazardous, and ceilings sagging from a water intrusion on the upper floor could collapse. SERVPRO offers rapid repairs to prevent secondary damages.

Some tools that facilitate the process

Tools such as moisture meters help the SERVPRO crew measure moisture levels and choose appropriate equipment to dry the property. High-speed fans are efficient in evaporating any leftover moisture and restoring the correct humidity levels in your home so that floors, walls, and furnishings do not rot, swell, or warp. Our crews set up and leave the drying equipment onsite until another temperature, humidity, and moisture testing round confirms that the affected areas have been fully dried and restored to preloss conditions.

Some equipment that facilitates rapid and efficient drying

• Dehumidifiers
• Air scrubbers
• Air movers
