Can Seal Beach Residents Rely on SERVPRO to Repair Flood Damage?
Water damage due to floods can be costly to restore and repair. If left unmitigated, flood damage in your Seal Beach home can cause extensive structural damage as well. SERVPRO is committed to preventing this from happening by offering you fast and efficient service.
SERVPRO technicians are IICRC certified and have extensive experience in restoring flood damage to Seal Beach properties. The floodwater in and around your home impacts building materials' structural integrity, such as wood and concrete. Apart from that, floodwater can also deposit soil and other contaminated sediments on your property. Even if the water recedes, the building can remain waterlogged unless SERVPRO techs take immediate steps to dry the structure. The hydrostatic pressure created by the groundwater can push against foundation or basement walls, weakening them. Hence, you must wait for the SERVPRO professionals to arrive before taking any restorative steps.
Why SERVPRO Techs Spend so Much Time and Energy on Controlling Humidity During Water Cleanup of Your Seal Beach Home?
Humidity, or the amount of water vapor in the air, is one of the most important factors determining the drying rate. SERVPRO techs try to create conditions such that the amount of water vapor in the air (or its humidity ratio) is always lower than that of the material. Technicians achieve this in two ways-
- Actively removing the moisture from the air using dehumidifiers, and
- By replacing the moisture-laden air near the surface of a drying material with warmer, drier air using air movers
It is equally important to use the right type of equipment and placement during this process.
