Flood Damage Mitigation in Anacortes Involves the Use Of Various Types Of Equipment

Anyone who has lived in the Anacortes region for a decent amount of time knows that severe storms can occur. Excessive rains and high-speed winds can create conditions that could cause your property extensive flood damage. Any time water from the outside enters your home from incidents like a leaking roof or broken window, your building materials, and contents could be at risk. Problems not treated promptly can become worse as time goes on.

Whenever our SERVPRO technicians work on a flood damage situation in Anacortes, we attempt to remove all standing water and dry out any wet materials as quickly as possible. To achieve this goal, our team utilizes a wide variety of techniques and tools of the trade. Most professional restoration companies use a combination of five different types of equipment when removing moisture from a structure after a storm devastates your property.

Detection Devices

Before any restoration or mitigation procedures begin, our SERVPRO crew first uses instruments to detect moisture levels. We use detection devices to determine where the water that entered your residence traveled. We can also use detection instruments to figure out how wet items got by testing unaffected and affected areas.

Extraction Equipment

To help speed up the restoration process, our SERVPRO technicians can use heavy-duty extractors to pull out water while it is still in its liquid form.

Air Moving Equipment

Air movers and large box fans sometimes get used to create air circulation within an affected room. Circulating the air pushes moist air next to wet surfaces away so that more water can evaporate from the affected items.

Dehumidification Equipment

Dehumidifiers get used to pull water vapor from the air and control your house's indoor relative humidity levels. These machines pull in wet air, dispense the moisture in liquid form, and then exhaust warm, dry air.

Deodorization Equipment

When foul odors exist after your structure gets dried out, we can use equipment to apply chemicals to help deodorize your structure.

If you ever notice that your contents or building materials inside your home got wet after a storm, it is best to call in the professionals. For help with any moisture-related problem, call SERVPRO of Skagit County at (360) 873-8744 any day of the week.
