Removing Standing Water and Trapped Moisture Involves Several Tools Used in Wayne Homes

There is an urgency to removing stormwater and water from attic spaces. No matter the source of the harm, from intruding water after roof damage to a burst pipe or a ceiling leak, it is essential for our team to work on water removal services as fast as possible. 

Repairing the Roof Damage 

Before water removal for Wayne attic spaces can begin, various structural concerns must get overcome. With a general contractor license, we can immediately provide board-up and tarping to prevent further water penetration. Once water is removed and dried from the structure, we can provide full reconstruction and build-back for the damaged attic. 

Removing Standing Water from Floors 

Eliminating surface water is a significant undertaking for responding to SERVPRO professionals and often requires several extraction units. Deep water after concerns like burst pipes often requires submersible pumps and trash pumps. However, more minor removal needs can get met by using wet vacuums and various attachments for carpets, hard flooring, and less accessible areas. 

Clearing Moisture and Damp Pockets 

Water removal might often mean eliminating pooling liquid in the property, but we have measures to locate and remove hidden water caches in wall and ceiling systems. Absorption and vapor pressures can cause moisture to penetrate and overwhelm dry materials. Drying tools and strategies can be placed strategically based on data collected by moisture detection devices such as:

• Moisture meters
• Hygrometers
• Thermal imagery

With how destructive that standing water can be, mitigation solutions beginning with water removal can be critical. Our SERVPRO of Wayne team has multiple extraction devices and tools in our recovery inventory that vary based on conditions in the house. Our professionals are available 24/7 at (973) 546-4977.
