Flooding and Water Damage Restoration in Camillus, NY

How Water Losses Can Happen to Camillus Homes

It is important to note that while our SERVPRO professionals offer a fast and effective response amid a disaster to begin mitigation for your Camillus home, several water loss scenarios can get avoided. Understanding how these situations occur and how you can prevent them can be helpful knowledge, though many discover too late that one of these circumstances exists that threatens their household:

• Appliance Malfunctions – might include water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and other water-fed machines and appliances throughout the property.
• Aging Fixtures – A strong candidate for water damage is a steadily leaking connection or fixture of the plumbing system.
• Freezing – Between fixtures freezing and damming of the actual water lines, freezing can lead to substantial water damage when pipes burst and connectors separate.

Is Professional Restoration Needed for Water Losses?

It is a common misconception in Camillus homes that the damage that exists is what you can see alone. Considering the porosity of many exposed materials and areas of any particular residence, it stands to reason that surface moisture is never exclusively the concern. When our SERVPRO team arrives to address concerns in your residence, we scope potential damage thoroughly using sophisticated moisture detection tools, such as:

• Hygrometers
• Surface Moisture Meters
• Penetrating Moisture Meters
• Infrared Imagery

With moisture that can exist beyond the reach of DIY restorers, it is often best to leave the drying and restoration of your home in the hands of our qualified professionals.

Our Restoration Process

Every water damage event is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

1.  Emergency Contact

When you call us, our consultant will guide you through several questions that will help us respond to your water emergency more quickly and efficiently. This initial contact is an important part of a fast, effective restoration.

2. Inspection and Damage Assessment

We determine the scope of your water damage at this stage is crucial to developing a plan of action. We inspect and test the damaged area to determine the extent of damage and how far the moisture has traveled to ensure proper and complete restoration.

3. Water Removal / Water Extraction

The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We use powerful pumps and vacuum units to quickly remove hundreds or thousands of gallons from your property which helps prevent secondary water damage and mold growth.

4. Drying and Dehumidification

After the bulk of the water has been removed, we use specialized equipment to target the water that’s harder to access. Our Professionals use less intrusive, scientific drying methods to draw the remaining water and moisture from your property with air movers and dehumidifiers.

5. Cleaning and Sanitizing

We clean, repair, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the water. We are adept at cleaning contents using a number of techniques. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

6. Restoration

The last step is restoring your home or business back to its pre-water damage condition. The restoration step can be relatively minor, such as replacing a few drywall panels, or could include major reconstruction, such as rebuilding entire rooms of a home or business.
