Water Removal From Your York County Home

If your residential property in York County is exposed to water damage, water removal is a must. The results can include many categories of structural damage to your home. Additionally, water damage can give rise to the development and spread of toxic molds initiated by mold spores. These spores occur naturally in all home environments. The trick is not to let a conducive condition like standing water nurture their growth. When you contract a high-quality water restoration service like SERVPRO, you won't have to grapple with the unwanted effects of water damage. Learn more about water extraction processes and how they can benefit your home by reading the short guide provided below:

The water extraction process is completed by a team of licensed professionals. Prior to beginning their water removal efforts, the company's technicians will identify the source of the water damage, assess the water damage, and establish an action plan. These experts from SERVPRO will then use a wide range of equipment and tools to begin and complete the water extraction process from your York County home. Powerful pumps and wet-vacs start the removal of large quantities of water to help off-set possible secondary water damage. Some of the tools that will follow are moisture monitoring equipment, dehumidifiers, air-movers, and industrial chemicals such as biocides. The water remediation specialists will also use sanitizer to disinfect your property, a key treatment in preventing the growth and proliferation of mold and bacteria. Treatment for the removal of odor will also be performed.
