Using the right tools and equipment makes a massive difference during water damage restoration. The goal is to minimize damage and return your property to its preloss state through water extraction, cleaning, dehumidification, deodorization, and mold remediation. To achieve all that, we perform thorough restoration procedures in your West Concord home.

Our SERVPRO technicians move, and block boxes, appliances, and furniture and other items within your water damaged West Concord property. The reason as to why we remove the items such as papers, rugs, curtains, and books from the floor is to lower the possibility to transferring stains. Once the site is clear and accessible, it is time to extract water from the area. Depending on the type of surface and the amount of water, our SERVPRO technicians may decide to use a portable extractor or submersible pumps. When working on hard surfaces, we make use of a squeegee attachment. This step is crucial since it reduces the drying time and limits the development of furniture stains and rust.

To effectively dry the site, we have to introduce a balanced drying system. We can set up air movers and dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process. Where necessary, we ventilate the inside of the ceiling and wall cavities and appropriately position dehumidifiers to absorb excess water vapor. It is the role of our SERVPRO technicians to continuously monitor the site and take the relative humidity and moisture content readings.
