For Flood Damage Mitigation When Moisture Gets Inside Your Home in Belmont During a Storm Call SERVPRO

During the monsoon season in the Belmont area, a large amount of rain can pour down quickly. When rain keeps coming down at a steady pace, flooding conditions can occur. Once the water starts to get deep outside, it can leak in from door seals or come up from underneath your house.

How can you remove moisture once it gets inside my house?

During flood damage mitigation in Belmont, the quicker water gets extracted, and the faster your wet contents and building materials get dried out, the less likely secondary issues can occur. Since it is easier to remove H2O when it is still in liquid form, our SERVPRO technicians start the restoration process with extraction procedures. We can remove liquid water from your floors and furniture using heavy-duty extractors and specialized attachments. Once all of the liquids are extracted, we can then begin the applied structural drying or ASD phase.

How do you dry out my wet floors, walls, and furniture?

The key to rapid structural drying is to speed up the natural evaporation process. We can increase the drying speed by using the following air moving equipment.

    •    Centrifugal Air Movers: These devices consist of a moving pice where blades move around a central shaft, which pushes air through the outlet or the machine. Centrifugal air movers can be used to force air underneath carpets to dry out your subfloor.
    •    Axial Air Movers: These air movers have a large fan blade and can move larger volumes of air then centrifugal devices. Axial air movers can push air at a lower pressure at a higher volume, which enables them to cover larger areas.
    •    Structural Cavity Drying Equipment: These units push air through tubes that get placed into holes that are drilled in your drywall to dry out your studs and wall cavities.
