SERVPRO Can Tackle Any Type Of Littleton Water Damage

Having a problem with water overflowing from a forgotten tub or a clogged toilet can cause problems with damage in your Littleton home. Removing the water must begin almost immediately after to prevent water from spreading any further. As water spreads out, it becomes increasingly harder to extract.

Residents in Littleton can protect their dwellings by using professional water removal services. The process can seem complicated, but in reality, we match our equipment and techniques to the factors of the situation. The amount, location, and degree of contamination all help to decide the necessary procedures and methods.

When large areas become saturated with standing water, we use a truck-mounted pump that quickly removes all water. Afterward, we can then proceed with smaller units. These are highly portable and easily operated by hand. Working our way down to smaller levels of saturation, we soon can concentrate on increased moisture and humidity.

To save flooring and protect it from warping due to exposure to moisture, our SERVPRO technicians use heated mats. As these mats heat the area, the rate of evaporation increases. We then remove the moisture via an attached extraction unit that holds the condensed moisture in a tank.

Saving lower areas of walls from moisture is aided by air blowers directed at an angle toward the walls. Ceilings can also experience problems in lower floors, and we extract the water from ceilings by drilling tiny holes. Without these holes, water remains trapped and hidden, able to seep into the material slowly. This can eventually cause the ceiling to collapse. These holes can prevent this from ever happening and save a ceiling that might otherwise fail.
