Better Planning Can Ease Water Removal in Your Mount Kisco Home

Water is a great utility, but its presence in any unwanted areas can lead to a variety of damages. Although leaking or burst plumbing lines are the most likely sources of the water that damages your Mount Kisco home, the problem can arise from other issues too. For example, a defective air conditioning unit can leak, causing flooding in a concealed section such as the attic. Involving professionals in the water removal process can help in many ways. 

Expediting the process of water removal from your Mount Kisco home helps deal with any danger the spilled water poses. The hazard posed by water might not be so obvious, especially when the leak source is clean. However, wet surfaces are usually slippery, increasing the risk of slip and fall accidents, especially if you have young kids running around the house. Water also conducts electricity, and therefore, such incidents can increase the risk of electrocution.  Our SERVPRO technicians use wet vacs, pumps, and other tools to remove any standing water from your home, minimizing any risks posed. 

Determining the amount of water spilled helps create better water removal plans. Whatever the source, fast extraction is essential to save your property from severe ruin. Although it is not possible to tell the exact amount spilled, estimating the total area covered by the water and the depth of any pools can help create a better picture of how much water is involved. With such an evaluation, you can determine whether mops and buckets can do the task or whether automated tools are necessary. Our SERVPRO team also uses a variety of advanced tools for evaluation, including: 

Moisture Sensors 

FLIR -Thermal Cameras 

Moisture Meters 

Thermo-hygrometers 

Capitalizing on factors such as the layout of the house and natural water movements can help expedite the removal process. If the water affects the upper and lower levels of the house, prioritizing the upper levels or simultaneously tackling both levels is crucial to avoid repetition of the same tasks. Areas with materials that water can damage extensively, such as wooden floorboards also require higher priority. Our SERVPRO technicians rely on their training and extensive experience to determine where to begin the restoration processes
