SERVPRO's Step-by-Step Water Restoration Process
SERVPRO offers comprehensive water restoration services in Bellingham. These services utilize advanced equipment and tried-and-true techniques to ensure thorough cleanup and mitigation.
- Inspection and assessment can identify water damage using moisture meters and infrared cameras, which are performed throughout restoration.
- Water extraction removes the bulk of water with powerful pumps and wet/dry vacuums. Several passes may be necessary before drying begins.
- Drying and dehumidification with air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers dry affected areas and isolate remaining moisture for disposal.
- Cleaning and sanitizing with EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments aid in mitigating mold, malodors, and bacterial growth.
SERVPRO's team also employs cutting-edge equipment such as the Injecti-dry system, which directs air into wall cavities and other hard-to-reach areas during drying. Ultra low-volume foggers help to eliminate any lingering odors caused by water damage.
