Contacting SERVPRO for Water Damage Mitigation Lessens Damage and Costs in Liverpool

While you may not think about it happening, water damage remains to be one of the more common and often destructive issues that homeowners face. It would be best if you addressed the fallout fast whenever you have leaking faucets or burst pipes in your home. Failing to act immediately might lead to excess water bringing on expensive damage, electrical hazards, and potentially harmful mold and mildew growth. Proper mitigation with the help of water restoration technicians (WRT) from SERVPRO gets you the results you deserve!

What is water damage mitigation in Liverpool, and why do you need it? Essentially speaking, water mitigation is the best approach to help prevent the onset of secondary damage. Mitigation prevents water saturation from impacting various building materials. Mitigation includes drying multiple areas to avoid degradation and mold growth, including:

• Framework
• Beams
• Flooring
• Drywall
• Ceiling tiles

When you have standing water, our extraction crew gets to work with powerful pumps to pull up as much water as possible. Damaged contents may also be packed out for further drying or restoration. We also take the time to select our processes and equipment to better achieve our goals. This includes adjusting as we work to get the best possible result. 

The type of water damage your Liverpool property has will also be considered as we select the proper water removal services and drying method. The three main categories of water include:

• Category 1 – This is clean water from a source like a faucet or incoming water pipe.
• Category 2 – This water may have started as category one but came into contact with contaminants. This category is often called gray water. 
• Category 3 – This is contaminated water from flooding, toilets overflowing, and other questionable sources. This category is known as black water. 

When you need prompt water damage mitigation, contact the crew at SERVPRO of North Onondaga County. We can be reached 24/7 at (315) 457-3432.
