Flood Damage Can Impact Materials in Many Ways

Flooding and intruding water are possible after severe storms that are not uncommon to St. Lucie County and its residents. Homes can quickly be overwhelmed by moving and migrating floodwater, but implementing mitigative steps like extraction can help protect the property from unnecessary harm.

The Importance of Fast Extraction

Extraction is one of the most critical and crucial elements of managing flood damage in Ft. Pierce homes and businesses. Water can move fast through a structure, pooling on surfaces, infiltrating porous materials, and simultaneously increasing the humidity of the damaged areas.

Surface Water Removal

When homeowners consider the term extraction, they often think most about the standing water on the flooring surface. Pooling in the household can allow for easy moisture penetration to exposed materials. Surface water should be removed as quickly as possible with vacuums and pumps from our extensive inventory.

Trapped Water Removal

Floodwater can penetrate porous materials like carpeting and hardwood flooring to threaten these elements' strength and structural integrity. It is critical to move quickly to remove free water absorbed into these materials before deterioration and warping result. Some specialty equipment includes:

• Drying Mats
• Carpet Wands
• Weighted Extractors

Limiting Humidity and Moisture Content

A serious focus on water restoration and drying come down to managing moisture in the environment. The placement and frequency of dehumidifiers help absorb or pull moisture grains from the air into the units. Proper dehumidification can reduce the impact of lingering damp caches on the structure and household.
