SERVPRO Sets Immediate and Long Term Goals When Delivering Water Removal Services in Riverview

Although it is obvious why water removal is necessary from a property, several short-term goals precede the main objective of restoring the property to its preloss state. Achieving these goals helps ensure better results when the restoration is finally completed. 

One essential task during water removal from Riverview properties is drying wet materials, whether they are part of the structure or contents. Drying is a gradual process, unlike extraction, since it is driven by evaporation. In some cases, such as handling wet wood, slowing down the drying process ensures the wood does not warp or crack. Our SERVPRO technicians set overall as well as daily drying goals to ensure the right outcome when handling problems like:

• Emergency services water damage
• Burst pipes
• Ceiling leaks 

Our SERVPRO technicians take various readings from the house, including the humidity levels in the air and the wetness level in materials, then calculate the time it is likely to take for successful drying. We also establish a ‘dry standard’ for the property. We do this by taking readings from dry materials in an unaffected section of the property, thus establishing how much moisture drying processes must remove.
