Water mitigation is the process of reducing potential losses in a home that has suffered a recent water intrusion event. Water intrusion can occur from internal plumbing problems, structural deficiencies, condensation or humidity damages, and natural disasters. There is a real risk of permanent damage arising in a property that is wet, which is why we consider it essential that you seek out professional assistance for:

• Water damage remediation
• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks

The most important part of water mitigation for your Liverpool home is extraction and stripping. Extraction uses motorized suction equipment to transport high volumes of water out of the property and is essential for reducing the standing water level. Stripping a property refers to removing wet materials, including draperies, furniture, fittings, and upholstery. Wet contents generally require specific drying actions. Leaving them inside a damp structure can complicate the drying process as moisture raises humidity and potentially causes condensation damage or vapor damages. There are three main methods for drying a system. These include:

• Natural drying, otherwise known as an open-drying system. This method relies on natural ventilation by opening windows or doors but is relatively inefficient and weather-dependent.
• Convection drying relies on the use of temperature to speed up drying times and high-velocity air movement. Convection drying requires the service or hire of professional drying equipment. 
• Dehumidification relies on a closed-drying system and can be combined with convection drying for the best results.
