Trained Technicians from SERVPRO Help Evaluate Your Damaged Property Determining the Best Restoration Approach.

When you discover water leaking into your home, you have to find a way to restore normalcy. Removing the water pooling around through mopping or extraction is one of the likely responses. However, other equally crucial processes are necessary to help you accomplish the stated goal. SERVPRO helps homeowners in Morris Plains establish what is necessary to restore damage from water intrusions.

What follows extracting water from the affected house?

After extraction, water damage restoration from Morris Plains homes must address the moisture remnants in the house and the problems it is likely to cause. Some of the steps that help accomplish this include:

• Drying of wet materials
• Removal of deteriorated materials
• Deodorization

Is it necessary to interfere with the drying process?

Drying is a natural process since materials have to attain moisture equilibrium with the surrounding areas. For instance, wood has to lose absorbed water until its moisture content drops to around 10%. However, natural drying processes can take longer, leading to other problems such as mold development or rotting.

The temperature levels and air movements in affected areas determine how long the drying process takes since they affect the evaporation rate. Our SERVPRO technicians can boost air currents with air movers. We also exhaust warm air from dehumidifiers back into the rooms to heat the air.

How often is material removal necessary?

Sometimes water soaks into materials and leads to significant deterioration that cannot be reversed through drying. Such damage is prevalent in materials such as drywall or composites when exposed to water for extended periods. Removal of materials may also be suitable for offsite drying. For instance, removing a carpet for drying eases the process. Our SERVPRO technicians evaluate situations to determine when removal is necessary.
