Expediting Water Removal from an Affected Great Neck Property 

When you discover a water spill in your property, there is no time to waste. Starting the removal process immediately and completing it fast helps in many ways, including making the property habitable again and reducing the percentage of secondary damages that develop. SERVPRO helps expedite water removal in many ways. 

The quickest way to address water removal from affected Great Neck properties is to extract it before it soaks into materials around the property. Removal of surface water requires the right pump, which can provide the right lift and volume capacity. It should also be convenient to handle, especially if different parts of the property are affected. Our SERVPRO teams have access to a wide variety of extraction equipment, including submersible pumps, truck-mounted extractors, portable extractors, and dry wet vacs, among others. Therefore, we can choose the most appropriate for your property. 

After removing all surface water, there is a need to address any moisture left in contents or building materials fast. Dehumidifiers help with such removal. They work by pulling water vapor from the air, thus increasing the evaporation from wet materials. Our SERVPRO technicians expedite the process by choosing high-efficiency dehumidifiers such as the low grain variety, especially in the final stages of drying when other types are less efficient. We also modify conditions at the loss site by increasing air movements and temperature to improve efficiency. Increasing air movements also increase the evaporation rate while higher temperatures help the air hold more moisture expediting the removal process. 

Sometimes convenient water removal is hampered by contents, which obstructs the movement of restoration crews or prevents proper usage of removal equipment. Our SERVPRO crews perform partial or complete move-outs creating the necessary room for fast water removal. For partial move-outs, we identify a dry location within the same building to act as temporary storage for your contents. 

One way to reduce damages caused by water loss incidents is to complete the removal process fast. Call SERVPRO of Great Neck / Port Washington at (516) 767-9600 to help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
