Preparation is Key to Successful Water Damage Removal
SERVPRO is committed to rapid-response cleanup after disaster strikes, and careful planning is a must for a multitude of reasons:
- Water damage inspection allows professionals to allocate resources more efficiently, reducing restoration time and associated costs.
- Taking the time to inspect damages ensures that restoration is as thorough as possible and is beneficial for more comprehensive claims filing.
- A thorough pre-evaluation of water damage can pinpoint and mitigate potential secondary damages during restoration, providing homeowners with more peace of mind and comfort.
These benefits, backed by SERVPRO’s rigorous crew training, education, IICRC certifications, and commercial-grade tools, are essential for successful cleanup.
SERVPRO Water Cleanup Inspection Tools Get the Job Done
Crew members rely on a diverse array of moisture measurement tools to determine water presence, calculate drying goals, and evaluate water cleanup progress:
- Penetrating moisture sensors use sharp metal probes to examine water content in carpeting, padding, and subfloors.
- Non-penetrating moisture meters can measure moisture content in many surface types, including wood and drywall, down to specific depths.
- Thermal imaging cameras can pinpoint potential water damage zones hidden behind structural materials by picking up temperature changes consistent with water damage.
