SERVPRO knows how to locate and remove hidden moisture in every nook and cranny of your home.

Removing Water Damage from Wall Cavities in Patchogue Homes

Many homeowners do not realize how far-reaching water damage effects can be in their Patchogue residence until professional restoration specialists can show them. Unfortunately, many of these same homeowners mistakenly believe that their preliminary drying efforts have removed the threat, but this is not always the case. Water can spread into wall cavities, ceiling spaces, and beneath the flooring in many situations, where it is impossible to notice without sophisticated moisture detection tools.

Knowing how widespread these effects can be for water damage in your Patchogue home, our SERVPRO team can respond fast to these emergencies. Once we have identified the source of this damage, we can use these moisture reading tools to determine moisture pockets and dampness in the walls and areas where accessibility is an issue. Our mitigation solutions can address saturation and standing water from the time that our team arrives. Still, we must know where these secondary effects exist to direct our equipment to resolve these situations.

Equipment for Water Damage Restoration

Once moisture detection equipment has determined the location of these pockets of dampness and saturation in wall cavities and other challenging areas to reach, we get to work on reaching these effects. While air movers and dehumidifier units can address much of the water and moisture content within the affected areas of your property, we also have specialized machines designed to reach wall cavities and ceiling spaces, such as our Injecti-Dry system.

With a minimalistic approach, we can inject hoses into this space between drywall and wood framing to force heated air into this region of the house. By running the dehumidifiers through this process, the units can pick up on added vapor in the environment when the Injecti-Dry system evaporates moisture and dampness.

We understand that drying out this portion of your home is just a small piece of the equation to restore any property after a water damage incident fully, but addressing these concerns can help to prevent hazards like mold growth from occurring.
