SERVPRO provides advanced equipment to mitigate water damage in your Pompano home "Like it never even happened."

The Necessary Components of Water Damage Recovery

Water emergencies encompass the greatest callout for our professionals throughout the year. From storm damage that results in flooding for our coastal community to threats originating inside the house like burst pipes, appliance damage, or leaks, SERVPRO has helped with adverse conditions of all types.

Pompano Beach water damage can occur in many ways and affect multiple rooms in the house. Regardless of the severity, a fast response for drying and cleanup is always vital. As leading restoration professionals, we can help with:

• Extraction – Water removal services rapidly manage standing water and trapped moisture in building materials.
• Demolition – Structural damage can often be aided by our SERVPRO team's experience with controlled demolition. Removing compromised structures protects other stable materials.
• Content Cleaning – Protecting what matters most to our customers is one of the priorities of effective restoration. Between relocation, on-site cleaning, and the pack-out procedure, we have several ways to help.

Water Removal Services

Removing removal tactics can most heavily focus on mitigation after water damage. Standing surface water poses a significant risk to porous flooring and building materials, making extraction one of the earliest actions taken by experienced restoration professionals. We have pumps and vacuums to help with this effort.

What Tools Are Needed for Drying?

Drying is essential to every water damage restoration project our professionals undertake. Removing surface water and trapped moisture can be vital in preventing avoidable harm to these structural elements and contents. Several tools will be necessary to achieve successful moisture management in a residence.

• Air Movers – These high-velocity blower units are the foundation of efficient drying for homes and businesses. These provide continual evaporation on wet surfaces.
• Drying Mats – Specialty drying equipment is also often required to manage moisture in the house fully. Elements like drying mats can help with semi-porous materials such as wood plank flooring.
• Heaters – These tools help to manipulate the environment's temperature, allowing chemical processes to complete faster. Warmer conditions improve drying times.
• Dehumidifiers – These devices manage the environment's moisture by trapping grains through condensation or absorption.

Is Surface Cleaning Necessary?

After water exposure, many surfaces and building materials can contend with discoloration or mineral residues. The resulting appearance of these structural elements must be cleaned to restore the original aesthetic of the room affected. Surface cleaning is one of the critical elements

of returning a home to preloss condition. We utilize multiple cleaning agents, detergents, and robust equipment for cleaning materials like carpeting.

How Can Mold Be Prevented?

Among the focuses of water damage cleanup and restoration is managing possible mold development. Microbial growth can be one of the more challenging conditions restoration professionals face after a disaster, mainly when water absorbed into materials or structural cavities goes unnoticed for extended periods. We have potent antimicrobial products to use as inhibitors for sensitive surfaces but can also visually inspect the property and sample the environment for further confirmation.

When Do Homes Need Damage Repairs?

The presence of water can often lead to compromising situations with the exposed building materials. The longer these surfaces stay in contact with water, the more damage these conditions can cause. With the general contractor license, professionals are equipped and experienced to manage repairs and reconstruction needs for your home after destructive disasters.
