Simple Actions That Go a Long Way during Water Removal in Your Seaford Home

When there is a water loss incident in your Seaford home, the best solution is to take quick action. However, for that quick action to be truly useful, having the necessary resources is crucial. Such resources include equipment and enough people.  Some simple actions can also help cover the lack of resources or boost their efficiency. Our professional water removal services offer both resources and specialized knowledge that improves efficiency.

Weighted Extraction Equipment
The floor materials in the affected areas can lengthen the water removal in your Seaford home. For example, carpets are porous and therefore absorb the water immediately. In many cases, drying the area requires removal of the carpet and pad, which can create several disruptions. It is possible to carry out efficient in-place drying using tools such as water claws and Rover HVE, High Volume Extractors because the weight of the technician presses down on the carpet helping lift more water at a time.  

Temporary Ducts for Air Movement
Sometimes drying the affected areas of your property can lead to secondary damages in other areas due to moisture transfer. Typically, this happens when moisture spreads through air movements.  When running air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your property, our SERVPRO technicians create temporary ducts using lay-flat plastics to ensure moisture-laden air does not lead to secondary harm in unaffected areas. Often this warm, moisture air is vented to the exterior.

Choosing and Placing Equipment
Having enough air movers and dehumidifiers can help expedite the drying process. The proper placement of this equipment is necessary to achieve positive results. Typically, our SERVPRO technicians place an air mover every 10 to 16 linear feet along a wall. For in-place drying, we place an air mover for every 50-60 square feet, ensuring we have sufficient air movers in the affected areas. Additional actions such as placing the air movers at a 45-degree angle to the walls and exhausting hot air from dehumidifiers into the back of the air movers help boost efficiency. Of course, this service is monitored, and corrections and changes can be made on the fly.
