SERVPRO Can Assist You in Performing Water Cleanup in Somerset

The seepage of water into buildings can be immensely destructive in the short-term and long term. Excess moisture can tamper with the interior environment of the house, leading to health hazards. Fortunately, SERVPRO can help you to restore your home.

When left for a long time, the water can lead to long-lasting structural problems in the building. You can trust SERVPRO to perform water cleanup in your Somerset residence efficiently. This process might take a varying amount of steps depending on the severity of the damage, but it consists of basic steps as outlined below:

• Determining moisture content.
• Drying water from floors and other affected surfaces.
• Deodorization
• Replacing damaged building materials.

Determining the moisture content in the house is vital to ensure thorough drying. Our SERVPRO technicians can use non-penetrating moisture meters to measure different materials' actual moisture levels or content. These meters use capacitance, conductivity, and radiofrequency emissions to detect moisture. They do not cause any surface damage since they do not penetrate the tested materials.

Removing the water off the affected areas is vital in eliminating moisture from a structure. Our restorers remove as much water as possible using extraction equipment to avoid spending much time evaporating and dehumidifying the remaining moisture with drying equipment. We also have different ventilating or drying systems to direct airflow into wall cavities to replace the moist, cool air with dry air. This process increases the temperature of the surfaces and reduces the vapor pressure, increasing the evaporation rate.

If your carpet has a foul odor, we can deodorize both sides of the carpeting and flooring using a suitable EPA-registered disinfectant. Our SERVPRO technicians can deodorize hard surface flooring by fogging with odor control or EPA-registered disinfectants.
