SERVPRO arrives at your water damaged St Lucie West home with IICRC certified technicians to mitigate the damage.

SERVPRO Pairs Experience and Equipment for Efficient St. Lucie West Water Extraction

Regardless of the source, water removal in St. Lucie West must occur promptly. The risk of damage from contaminated fluids from a sewer backup is obvious, but even clean water from a burst supply pipe is incredibly corrosive. Fast action by technicians certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) mitigates the spread of water, supporting the drying of affected building materials to restore your property to its previous condition.

Why Are Do-It-Yourself Interventions Inadequate?

Speed and thoroughness are critical when providing water removal in St. Lucie West. Professional technicians complete water evacuation in hours rather than the days or weeks taken by an owner struggling with inferior resources. SERVPRO service vehicles deliver the equipment needed to take control of and manage water damage remediation:

• Truck-mounted extractors capable of capturing and containing hundreds of thousands of gallons, using portable generators if power is temporarily unavailable
• Portable backpack units to reach confined areas
• Storage tanks for contaminated water, providing lawfully required containment and delivery to hazardous waste disposal sites
• Sensitive moisture detection and metering devices to map water migration and establish baselines for drying goals

How Does SERVPRO Apply Structural Drying Protocols?

Water removal in St. Lucie West includes evaporation of absorbed fluids from affected building materials. Failure to achieve previous moisture levels exposes your home to the risk of progressive deterioration from both water and secondary damage such as mold growth. SERVPRO technicians use an in-depth understanding of psychrometry, the science of drying, to assess and plan moisture normalization:

• Precisely placing and angling air movers, also known as centrifugal fans, to focus high pressure and low profile airflow to accelerate the evaporation of absorbed water from building materials and fixtures
• Using heaters to adjust the ambient temperature as warmer air absorbs more water vapor encouraged by the air movers
• Dehumidifying with condensers or desiccants to capture the water vapor for permanent removal from the damaged materials
