The Start of Water Mitigation for Newport Structures

Initial actions taken when water damage occurs can be instrumental in reducing restoration time and costs for customers. Our emergency services for water damage combine multiple efforts, including: 

• Water cleanup
• Content cleaning
• Surface drying
• Water removal services
• Water damage repairs 

Where Do Water Removal Services Start in Newport Houses?

Pooling water can be a considerable hazard for damaged homes and businesses. Without removing this surface water, absorption begins in porous elements like wood planks, carpets, and drywall. Extraction tools at our disposal help to quickly eliminate standing water. This is often a combination of vacuums, submersible pumps, weighted extractors, and wands. 

What is Water Cleanup in Newport Properties? 

The focus of water cleanup for damaged homes and businesses is thorough drying. Evaporative drying strategies can involve several tools working together to clear surface moisture, beginning with carefully placed centrifugal and axial air movers. Displaced water in the environment is collected with equipment like the desiccant and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers in our inventory.

We carefully inspect your property’s water damage, determining the type of water damage and the areas affected. This is a crucial step to creating an effective plan of action that will result in a successful restoration.

Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using our powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. We start this process as soon as possible to minimize further damage and to help prevent mold growth.

We clean, repair, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the water. We are adept at cleaning contents using a number of techniques. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

6. Restoration
