What Should Be Expected During Water Damage Cleanup?

SERVPRO techs approach each Liverpool restoration service with professionalism and are happy to go over the water damage cleanup steps with homeowners.
When water damage affects your Liverpool home, getting the water removed and the structure dried is your biggest priority. SERVPRO technicians rely on a myriad of extraction equipment types, and their use depends on the amount of water that needs removal. The most frequently seen are the portable pumps, but in cases of standing water, they have access to pumps that can submerge in water greater than two inches or more and continue to get the job done. The overall process goes like this:
- Extraction of the water
- Move out of items to a safe location if necessary
- Removal of ruined and deteriorated building materials
- Drying and hand cleaning
- Prepping the structure for repairs
Can a Water Damage Restoration Service Get Rid of Musty Odors?
After the cleanup efforts for the water damage restoration complete in your Liverpool home, there may be some odor control applications needed. The scent level depends on the type of water in the house and how long the moisture remained in the home before the mitigation began. Clean water spills are by far the most straightforward type of scent removal. When the water in the house is from flooding or contains sewage or chemicals, the odor in the home may be far more pungent. SERVPRO techs have numerous pieces of equipment and advanced methods that can eradicate foul odors at the molecular level. In many cases, a multi-layered approach gets used to ensure that the home is left smelling clean and refreshed without a hint of the previous water damage.
