Handling Water and Moisture after Port St Lucie Water Damage

Port St. Lucie is famous for hosting the PGA Village golf resort, which features championship golf courses designed by Pete Dye and Tom Fazio. Apart from attracting golfers, the city on the Atlantic coast is excellent for nature lovers who can explore The Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens. Its beautiful beaches are a favorite for visitors and locals since it is part of The Treasure Coast, which is known for pristine and uncrowded beaches.

The efforts necessary for water restoration in Port St Lucie facilities can differ significantly. The tremendous industrial and commercial growth like the Amazon, Cheney Bros. Food, and the ready-to-be-built Costco distribution will rely on our expertise when things go wrong. For instance, the sources range from sprinkler malfunction, poor drainage, humidity buildup, and HVAC issues to roof or plumbing system leaks. These variations call for different resources. For instance, removing the water accumulating on the premises may require unique tools. SERVPRO® has a range of equipment to handle high water volumes, reach hidden areas, and deal with moisture residue.

Equipment that assists with extraction

• Dehumidifiers
• Structural cavity drying equipment
• DX Units

Extracting water from commercial premises is a sequential process. Addressing stagnation is the priority since standing water causes structural damage, such as swelling and warping in wood. It is also a hazard since it leaves the floor slippery, posing a risk of injuries. Our SERVPRO technicians use truck-mounted water extractors to remove large volumes of water from a property of any size. We use submersible pumps in areas such as recessed parking garages where water depth may exceed two feet, thus speeding up the process.

After the standing water is gone, the moisture absorbed by materials is the next focus. Materials like wood swell, metals rust, and fabrics stain when wet. The secret to addressing such moisture is evaporation and humidity control. When our SERVPRO technicians deploy equipment such as dehumidifiers, space heaters, and Direct Expansion units, moisture management is more effortless. Heat increases the air’s capacity to hold moisture, thus boosting evaporation rates. The humid air passes through dehumidifiers, which extract the moisture, ensuring materials do not absorb it back.
