We Can Dry It!

The first few hours are very important. The longer water sits, the more potential havoc it wreaks. Walls can start to disintegrate, and items made of pressed wood can start to swell and warp if they are exposed to too much humidity. Water from burst pipes and supply lines can still damage the furniture, floors and supplies in your workplace. Call SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast at (813) 694-9092.

SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast uses specialized drying equipment to get the job done quickly and efficiently. One of those tools in an extraction wand. The wand is like a really powerful vacuum sucking water out of almost any material like concrete, hardwood, vinyl, and carpet like in the photo above. The clear opening on the top allows the technicians to see the water flowing from the carpet into the extractor.

SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast uses specialized equipment to determine the scope of your water damage at this stage. We inspect and test to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration. Today's spotlight is on the protimeter or moisture meter. The moisture meter is simplified into three distinct stages. Moisture below 17% is considered dry and is color-coded green. Next is "At Risk" which is given the color yellow. Finally a "Wet" reading is anything over 21%, since this is the industry standard. This allows us to thoroughly and quickly restore your home back to prel-oss condition. 

Our next equipment spotlight is the SERVPRO Air Mover. Air movers are an essential tool for water restoration jobs. They offer high-velocity airflow, which leads to faster drying times to help get the job done quicker and more efficiently. Professional grade air movers are used to improve air circulation to speed up evaporation and reduce drying times. This helps get your home or business back together and running smoothly. Simply put, air movers are heavy duty industrial fans used to speed up the drying process due to water damage, whether caused by heavy storms, flash floods, hurricanes, leaky pipes, etc. 

General guidelines suggest having your roof professionally checked every 3-5 years depending on the material. This is to ensure there are no major cracks or leaks where water could go in.

Give SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast a call at (813) 694-9092.

Water works in mysterious ways and no two water damages are the same. Here is one of those cases where water flowed in from the roof, affecting one of the cabinets. Notice how the water was pulling the cabinets apart from the staples. In some cases like this one, insurance will cover to replace all of the cabinets whether affected or not. SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast got to work packing out all the items from the cabinets, drawers, etc. before disassembling the cabinets. Our customer was very pleased with the quick mitigation process and the wife loved her brand new kitchen!

Our next equipment spotlight is the SERVPRO dehumidifier. A dehu is essential to reducing humidity in your home or business after a water damage. Dehumidifiers reduce humidity levels, making your home less hospitable to allergens such as dust mites, mold, and mildew. While working along side air movers, many of SERVPRO's dehu's can pump up to 160 pints of water per day greatly reducing your moisture readings. Like we discussed in previous spotlights, SERVPRO's goal is to have a moisture reading below 17%. This ensures that all affected materials are dried and reduces your chances of mold damage down the line. 

SERVPRO's next specialized equipment is the Thermal Fogger. If you have ever had a mold outbreak in your house then you probably know that the mold you can see is only the beginning of the problem. Believe it or not, only 10% of mold is visible – the other 90% is microscopic. Foggers are used mostly in crawlspaces where some spots may be difficult to assess. Once joists are wiped and vacuumed, crews fog the entire areas with specialized products.

A twisted or snapped supply line is one of the most common issues in a water damage, especially for a washing machine where large volumes of water flow in a short amount of time. That was the case when this two story apartment flooded from the washer down into the downstairs kitchen. In order to dry the ceiling from above, crews cut out the wet ceiling and duct plastic into the small cutout to circulate airflow. This is a quick and efficient SERVPRO process to dry out tough to reach materials. Our customer couldn't believe how quickly we were able to dry out their home. We make disaster "Like it never even happened." 

This was the aftermath of a broken HVAC supply line that leaked into the utility and bathroom. There was significant damage to the bathroom, utility room, and living room. When vanities are affected, they are either removed or modified to allow for drying. SERVPRO crews drilled small holes into the toe kick to allow air circulation thus saving the vanity and sink. This allows more minimal demolition and quicker put back time. All that is needed after mitigation is the put back of the toe kick! For all your water-related cleanup needs give SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast a call. 

Not all water damages are the same, water will move in the direction of least resistance like in this case. Water cascaded down from the sink pipe into the crawlspace.
