Comprehensive Water Removal in Raleigh by SERVPRO

Whether it is a burst pipe or other mishap that leaves your business flooded, you must find a viable solution to remove all the water and dry wet areas. The task may seem simple since you clean your Raleigh premises from time to time using water. However, water removal after accidental leakage presents several challenges you might not be prepared to handle.

The amount and spread patterns make water removal from Raleigh business places challenging. The need to complete the exercise in good time and save valuables only increases the difficulty. You can hand the process to SERVPRO for convenience and free up your time to concentrate on other business matters. Professional restoration delivers good results because it is better planned.

Aspects of planning include:

• Better documentation
• Tracking moisture migration
• Enhancing water extraction

Loss documentation may be the last thing on your mind once you discover a leak. However, simple actions such as taking photos of the water damaged site are crucial since they create a good reference point for determining harmed valuables or the place's layout after the restoration. Our SERVPRO technicians take photos and videos and write notes regarding the loss.

Understanding moisture migration

When the water leaves the leak point, it flows by gravitation, spreading across the property. It also wicks through porous and semi-porous materials while evaporating into the air. All these types of movements impact the issues you must resolve. For instance, the evaporating moisture poses a risk to hygroscopic materials like books or papers in any property section. The water absorbed by structural materials and furniture causes physical damage through swelling and disintegrating adhesives.

Helpful actions against moisture

• Setting dehumidifiers
• Setting up air-tight containment barriers
• Making flood cuts on walls to halt wicking
