Effective Water Extraction Saves Flooring
Few disasters that could impact your home have the spreading threat of water leaks or burst pipes. Not only do these conditions immediately impact the sensitive materials around the plumbing, but they also allow water to collect on the floor and begin deteriorating and destroying these materials as well.
The Steps a Homeowner Should Take During Emergencies
Securing water cleanup for Ferndale homes and businesses seems like the first step property owners should consider when disasters strike, but there is more to the situation than a phone call. To protect what is possible in your household, you should move fast to:
- Shut off the water flow from a valve where the service first enters your home, preventing more lost gallons and potential damage.
- Move at-risk contents to a safe portion of the house.
- Avoid walking on materials that could be softened by water exposure.
- Contact SERVPRO® for assistance with cleaning and repairs.
Protecting Your Flooring with Rapid Extraction
From the first notice of loss to our SERVPRO of Whatcom County team, we mobilize fast with equipment designed to manage standing water threats immediately. Pooling is a concern for your home’s structural integrity and the safety of those exposed, so we prioritize the process of extraction using several tools like:
- Truck-Mounted Units – Powerful pumps that move hundreds of gallons of water per minute to quickly evacuate standing water from the premises and create conditions ideal for restoration.
- Trash Pumps—Designed to manage standing water and debris, these units have a larger discharge hose that removes a greater volume of water and solids.
- Wet Vacuums—An essential component for all restorers, wet vacuums are versatile and mobile, making recovery in inaccessible areas easier.
Removing water damage begins with protecting the flooring. Even non-porous materials like tile and concrete can become damaged by long-term water exposure, making extraction and removal approaches a crucial component of the restoration and mitigation processes started by our SERVPRO of Whatcom County team upon arrival.
