How Fast Water Removal Lessens Damage in Wilmington Homes

Whether it is a little or a lot, water damage leaves its mark in a structure. The most common areas requiring water cleanup in a home are the kitchen and bathroom. However, anywhere there are plumbing pipes or appliances connected to supply lines, the potential for a water spill exists.

When SERVPRO works on water removal in a Wilmington property, we spend extra time on the water extraction phase. The reason for this is because the more passes we do with our equipment reduces the amount of time needed to dry the property.

Our professional-grade water extraction equipment gives SERVPRO the edge among restoration services. We standardly use many of the following:
Portable pumps for quick, mobile extraction
Submersible pumps for situations when water is more than two inches deep
Weighted extractors for pushing water out of carpet and padding
Rovers are ride-on units that extract water using the weight of the technician

Different factors denote the restorability element of items affected in water damage. If more than 48-hours has passed since carpeting and other porous household items became exposed to water without mitigation, it requires treatment as a category three biohazard and increases the potential having to replace things and thereby incurring additional costs. That is why the faster homeowners call and get extraction efforts underway, the chances for saving both furnishings and possessions from being counted as a water loss increase.

If our technicians do any controlled demolition during mitigation, such as flood cuts for ruined sheetrock or weep holes drilled in ceilings or walls, our SERVPRO carries a General Contractor License #1992104829 and we have the skills to not only perform the needed restoration service but also offer homeowners reconstruction for their homes as is necessary to return it to its preloss condition.

When you need water removal, contact SERVPRO of Hockessin / Elsmere at (302) 992-0104. Our certified technicians are available 24/7 to restore your property and make your water loss "Like it never even happened."
