Our SERVPRO Teams are Equipped with the Proper Training and Equipment Needed to Successfully Restore Your Home After Water Damage Takes Place

Responding to water spill incidents in Wilmington is not as straight forward as it seems. There are several, often conflicting goals, to be achieved to restore the property to its preloss state. For example, there is a need to work fast to reduce any secondary deterioration and to allow quicker reoccupation of the affected areas. At the same time, avoiding further damages is essential.

The equipment used to fix water damage loss in Wilmington affects many aspects of the restoration, including the completion speed and any additional damages that occur. The correct choice of equipment can lead to better results. Our SERVPRO technicians have access to a wide variety of equipment and sufficient training to tackle any restoration task effectively. 

The workhorse in most water spills is a water extractor, which helps remove any surface water left in the affected areas. There is a considerable variety of extractors and pumps, including submersible ones, high-speed pumps, and specialized extractors such as trash pumps. The perfect extractor should have the right lift and volume capacity. Our SERVPRO technicians also consider the accessories to use with the equipment, including the type of wand to attach or the length of the hose. A very long hose can affect efficiency while surfaces such as carpets require different wands compared to hard surfaces such as tiles.

Drying all excess moisture from a loss site is an essential part of the restoration process because secondary problems such as mold can develop due to residue moisture. Dehumidifiers play a crucial role in drying wet materials. They also help maintain moisture within optimal levels during the restoration process preventing issues such as condensation. Dehumidifiers vary in many ways, not just their sizes, so the choice made can affect the outcome of the restoration. For example, desiccant dehumidifiers can lower humidity levels to the extreme, drying materials beyond normal levels, which can lead to cracking of wood or other damages. Our SERVPRO technicians constantly monitor the moisture levels of different materials and adjust drying equipment to ensure balanced drying.

Using the right equipment can improve the outcome of water damage incidents. Call SERVPRO of Brandywine / Wilmington at (302) 762-8080 to help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
