After Flooding in a Manayunk Property, Moisture Sensors Help Discover Hidden Pockets of Moisture--A SERVPRO Service!

Professional Equipment for Smooth Flood Damage Restoration in Manayunk

A smooth flood damage restoration process requires the use of specialized equipment as well as a trained workforce to operate the equipment correctly. That is what you get when you work with an experienced and certified restoration service provider. In this article, we are looking at some of the equipment that we use when working on such incidents in Manayunk.
 
Most flood damage losses in Manayunk are associated with standing water, which means our SERVPRO technicians need to choose appropriate extraction techniques and tools. In situations where the water does not contain solid materials, we might decide to use submersible pumps. We prefer pumping as a means of water extraction when the depth of the water exceeds two inches. In most cases, we direct this water into a treated sewer system and avoid directing it into facilities that have septic systems.
 
Sometimes our SERVPRO technicians can use truck-mounted or portable extractors to remove the standing water. The portable types are convenient when we need to remove water from structures and other areas with limited access. On the other hand, truck mounts are more powerful and usually have their independent sources of power. Both the portable and truck-mounted extractors have a vacuum system, a pump and a heater; key components that give them the ability to perform both some restorative cleaning and water removal.
 
Physical means of water extraction from a flooded home are not enough when our SERVPRO technicians are restoring your property. Water can intrude into different locations of your structure, and there is a need to use detection devices. For instance, we use moisture meters and sensors to identify these locations. Infrared camera imaging can detect lingering moisture inside wall cavities and other nooks and crannies. We can also install air movers and space heaters to speed up the rate of evaporation during the restoration process.
