Approaches that Enhance Results during Water Removal 

Every incident of water damage in a Vernon business premise is unique. However, each case presents several challenges, and if not properly managed, it can hurt the business long after the initial occurrence. Such impacts might include damaged documents, the accumulated cost of follow-up restoration processes because of deteriorating materials, and even minor inconveniences such as unpleasant smells. 

Water removal in Vernon has to be fast and thorough to be deemed successful. Quick response prevents secondary problems like microbial growth. It can also help save materials and documents from further deterioration after the initial damage. Our SERVPRO technicians take different approaches that help satisfy the urgency aspect. One option is to remove free items such as books and other valuable documents. Freezing the wet documents helps stop deterioration.

Since some items are immovable, removing any standing water from the premises is crucial in reducing damages. Having the right resources can help improve speed. Our SERVPRO technicians use advanced equipment such as dry-wet vacs and truck-mounted water extractors. Apart from a faster rate when using an extractor, the 60-100 gallon storage tank ensures that the removed water cannot find its way back, which is more efficient than mops or buckets. 

After removing the liquid water, there is a need to dry moisture from materials and lower the relative humidity in the air. Relative humidity exceeding 60% can cause mold development all over the structure, while excess moisture traces in materials leads to rot, rust, warping, and other forms of deterioration. Our SERVPRO technicians combine advanced equipment like dehumidifiers and air movers with specialized skills. For example, using plastic sheets, we can create exclusion zones known as drying chambers whose smaller area helps make drying manageable.
