Water losses can be overwhelming, especially when you are juggling the preservation of your belongings with lessening the spread and severity of migrating water. As challenging as these conditions might initially appear to your Patchogue property, it can be worse when you do not have the appropriate tools to manage standing water or identify moisture damage beyond the surface.

There are many credible solutions for water removal in Patchogue homes, though our professionals lean most heavily on a handful of trusted devices and machines. Submersible pumps are often the centerpiece, helping to reduce standing water to a couple of inches. At this point, the surface water can get addressed by a wet vacuum.

What is the Harm of Standing Water? 

• Absorption
• Material Deterioration
• Mildew
• Mold

Standing water presents concerns because you cannot accurately identify other damages that might be occurring as a result. For example, standing water on hardwood floors can get absorbed into the planks through the cellulose in the makeup of the wood itself. After a brief time, trapped water bonds with the molecular structure of the material and distorts and bloats it.

Is There Water I Cannot See? 

Water damage rarely only exists in areas you can see, meaning that migrating water is as much a threat to structural cavities and underlying materials as it is to the surface. With moisture meters, hygrometers, and thermal imagery, our SERVPRO professionals can get a better understanding of the presence of moisture in these areas and determine the best solution for removing it.

It can be overwhelming to take on the restoration of your home after a water loss incident on your own. In many cases, this can lead to inadequate drying that welcomes secondary loss like microbial threats. Let our SERVPRO of Patchogue team help you through the recovery process with efficient equipment and practices. You can reach us 24/7 at (631) 924-1801.
