Water Mitigation Makes Restoration Work More Efficient in Carmel

12/22/2024 (Permalink)

SERVPRO provides a swift call-out to minimize the effects of water damage in Carmel properties. "Like it never even happened."

Mitigating Water Damage Stops Spread of Damage

Because water is fluid, damaging effects continue even after someone shuts off or blocks the water's flow. Water mitigation requires more than just turning off “the spigot.” SERVPRO® technicians know what steps provide the desired results for a home in Carmel.

Restoration costs lessen with less damage to rectify, making water mitigation in Carmel an essential cost-reduction tool. Mitigation tasks include cleaning and drying the area so normal conditions exist. Proper mitigation prevents secondary water damage.

Other benefits of mitigation services from SERVPRO include:

• Detection of other problematic situations,
• Prevention of secondary water damage, and
• Easier control of odor-causing particles.

Early detection of problems like corrosion on electrical components, cracked, broken-up concrete, or other signs of rapidly progressing damage helps us perform a more comprehensive service. As we mitigate your home, we look for more than bubbled drywall or soggy carpeting.

Failure to achieve the standard moisture content in different materials throughout the home can leave the residence at risk of secondary water damage. Dampness can ruin new materials, necessitating additional drywall, siding, or other building components. Damp conditions can also allow mold to grow and potentially become hidden within cavities or internal spaces of the home's interior. Wall spaces, underneath cabinets or stairs, and even under floorboards or tiles are all susceptible to mold infestation

Mitigating a home includes searching for the known factors of odor-causing substances. In addition, we notice other materials that can do this. These include anything saturated, such as pet bedding on the floor, area rugs, or even forgotten dirty laundry. Odor control is a task that requires input from our customers. We work with you to create how you want your home to smell when you walk in the front door.
