Drying Procedures that Save Money on Water Damage Claims

Flooded spaces can be a huge headache for both business owners and insurance adjusters alike. Water damage is so detrimental with each material it touches, so speed of restoration professionals is of paramount importance. Below are some of the most crucial areas to deal with after a flood in Nolensville, TN, along with the most effective tools for damage control.

1. Floors, Walls and Upholstery
Portable or mounted water extractors are the best and most efficient option for removing water from flooring, walls and upholstery. An extractor can relieve any worries related to water being left over after a disaster, continuing to do damage without the business owner knowing until much later. After extraction, various types of dehumidifiers are used to finish drawing water out from furnishings and upholstery. These items are most effectively cleaned with airflow. Advanced fans and dehumidifiers are an efficient way of accomplishing this.

2. Air Quality and Mold
Stagnant or contaminated water from broken pipes is a recipe for air quality and mold issues - sometimes within a matter of hours. Once again, airflow is crucial when it comes to preventing air and mold issues. Dehumidifiers and deodorizers should be employed as soon as possible. If mold is a concern, it's especially important to have disaster relief professionals with specialized equipment at the ready. Containment strategies will need to be put in place, along with air filtration, mold remediation, and various other advanced cleaning methods.

3. Documents and Heirlooms
Important physical documents and family heirlooms require a combination of air drying, dehumidifying, advanced cleaning, and more, depending on the depth and breadth of the water damage. Hiring experienced, quick-responding specialists like SERVPRO's teams ensures that all essential water cleanup measures will be taken, with minimal hassle to business owners and insurance companies.
Water damage is incredibly pervasive; for this reason, it's even more important to hire a team that can do it all. SERVPRO's extensive experience, comprehensive equipment availability and immediate response makes them the ideal go-to when water disaster strikes.
