After a water intrusion incident, restoring a property to its pre-damage state often involves water removal, decontamination, drying, and odor removal. It is vital to act fast by working with reliable restoration experts in Manhasset, like SERVPRO technicians.

Why should I act fast?

Performing water damage restoration in your Manhasset home as soon as you can is critical. The sitting water and moisture can create a perfect environment for bacteria and mold growth. Some parts of the affected property may require to be rebuilt. Valuable materials such as carpet and pad, as well as drywall that have absorbed water, can get damaged beyond repair. By contacting professionals immediately after the incident, you can avoid these costly repairs. 

How do you restore homes?

We repair and restore water-damaged properties to return them to their normal condition. Our restorers usually complete water damage mitigation before water damage restoration. The goal of water damage mitigation is to prevent further water damage from affecting the structures and contents of a building. Some of the things we can do during the water damage mitigation process include:

Removing ruined materials like flooring and drywall as well as furniture from the affected areas.

Cleaning and disinfecting salvageable items.

Extracting water using pumps.

Drying the home using air movers and dehumidifiers.

After the water damage mitigation process, our technicians concentrate on reconstructing or rebuilding a home through a variety of applications. The goal of the water damage restoration process is to help you recover from all damage. The steps we can take to restore your home largely depend on the severity of the water loss. Some typical water damage restoration services include:

Eradicating mold.

Replacing ruined flooring and walls.

Conducting moisture and humidity testing to ensure all issues are resolved. 

How do you dry the affected areas?

Using our advanced equipment, we can take the shortest time possible to dry the affected areas. Our SERVPRO technicians can use several air movers to speed up the drying process. At times, we use portable heaters to increase the temperature in a home. Drying takes place faster when a room is heated better 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit because hot air holds more moisture. Our team uses dehumidifiers to remove moisture. 

What about the odor in my property?

Odors can make a property inhabitable. Odors may persist depending on the intensity of the water damage. Our technicians can use air filtration devices to remove odors. These devices contain HEPA filters that can remove the airborne particles from the air, leaving your property feeling and smelling fresh. 

Water damage can leave you and your family devastated. Contact SERVPRO of Great Neck / Port Washington at (516) 767-9600 for effective restoration services.
