SERVPRO Sends Highly Trained Water Restoration Technicians to Canoga Park Homes

Water intrusion may seem trivial, especially if the amount involved is not that significant. However, taking any incident at your Canoga Park home lightly can lead to significant problems as the physical damages and inconveniences build-up to unexpected levels.

Appropriately planning the water mitigation at your Canoga Park home is one way to prevent extreme damages. An alternative reason for better planning is to improve convenience after an incident. SERVPRO has significant experience handling such incidents, so it is easier to identify problems and the best solutions.

Some essential things to note when planning water mitigation include:

• Indoor air quality deteriorates in wet properties
• Moisture modifies most materials physically or chemically
• Even clean water can lead to contamination

Water constantly evaporates from wet materials or pools on surfaces at room temperatures, thus driving indoor humidity levels up. Humid air is detrimental to materials and amplifies any smells in the house. Our SERVPRO teams consider such factors when planning the mitigation process.

Well planned water mitigation is segmented into stages, including: 

• Water extraction phase
• Cleaning soiled phase
• Finishing processes

Removing most of the intruding water early enough improves the outcome of water mitigation exercises since it limits the time moisture interacts with materials. Water extraction requires sufficient power. Our SERVPRO technicians use various pumps and accessories such as carpet and squeegee wands to extract water trapped in different house sections. 

Your home needs cleaning after water intrusion. If the intruding water is from an unclean source, it deposits dissolved soils in the property. Alternatively, soils like dust can be swept from hidden areas spreading them over the house. Deterioration such as dyes bleeding or metals rusting also leads to soling. Cleaning takes care of all these issues.
