Proper Management of Water Removal Process in Mount Vernon

Water loss incidents can happen anytime, whether caused by extreme weather or human error. When such incidents happen in Mount Vernon, you have to find a way to remove the surface water and dry any wet contents or building materials. Professional restoration by SERVPRO helps deal with the problems that arise in many ways.

Instant Response

Water removal processes in Mount Vernon should start immediately after the spill is discovered. Every minute that passes increases the damages to the property. SERVPRO ensures quick response by having customer service on call 24/7. Apart from dispatching the restoration crew immediately, the support staff also gives valuable tips that you can use to stop or minimize damages. For example, you can use towels to mop vulnerable surfaces such as wooden floors to lessen the chances of permanent damage such as cupping or buckling.

Assorted Equipment

Water removal is rarely a smooth process. The spilled water might reach hidden sections of the property or affect a wide range of materials making the removal process challenging. One way to deal with all these challenges is having a variety of equipment to handle specific tasks. Our SERVPRO crews have access to various equipment, including portable and truck-mounted water extractors, different types of pumps, including submersible ones, and specialized equipment such as the injectidry system, which remove water from cavities.

Understanding of What Happens After a Water Spill

Water spills may happen at once, but the resulting damage occurs in stages. A clear understanding of these processes helps ensure the response is appropriately structured to address any issue. For instance, microbial growth, which results in mold, can happen after a water spill. However, there is a window of 48 hours before the processes start. This period of time differs from an issue like staining, which happens almost immediately after the water spill occurs. Our technicians rely on their training to schedule the removal properly, preventing these problems.

When correctly done, water removal should help prevent severe outcomes after a water spill. Call SERVPRO of Skagit County at (360) 873-8744 to help address any issue sparked by the incident, “Like it never even happened."
