Storms are even scarier when they end with a bill totalling THOUSANDS! We want to help you save money after the next big storm, and help you stay safe. 

The Restoration Process

We all know that water restoration can be an expensive and time consuming process, but how does it really work? There are a few steps SERVPRO takes to ensure your home or business is restored as quickly as possible. 

  1. Assess the damage - Before we get to work, we need to know how extensive the damage is, and plan how to fix it. 
  2. Extract the water - Using large pumps, we remove (on average) thousands of gallons of water so we can begin replacing or drying the damaged areas. To reduce the risk of mold growth, and further damage, we start pumping out the water as soon as possible. 
  3. Begin drying - After most of the water has been removed, the SERVPRO team uses equipment to get the remaining water from hard to reach places. The dehumidifiers allow our team to remove any remaining moisture. 
  4. Cleaning up - To complete the process, we always clean and sanitise the affected areas. This will remove any odour caused by the moisture, and clean restorable possessions. 

3 Tips to Saving Thousands

Water damage from storms doesn’t just affect your property, but it can also damage everything inside. Follow these simple tips to save thousands after the next storm!

  1. Don’t leave damp items on the floor. Hang them up and allow them to start drying immediately. 
  2. Begin the restoration process by mopping and blotting the water affected areas. This will stop the water from damaging areas any further. 
  3. Turn off all electricals as soon as the water enters your home. This will stop any of your appliances from getting damaged or destroyed.  

We hope that this has helped and you have found value. If you have any further questions please call us on 304 428 7378 or click here to contact us.
