Our Water Mitigation Process Has Several Phases

Water mitigation and emergency services are critical in protecting a property contending with the earliest stages of a water disaster. As rapidly as moisture and water can move in a residence, we have efficient solutions to protect the structure and its contents from irreparable harm where possible. 

Water Mitigation in Action

Much of the water mitigation in Santa Clarita is the physical actions taken to recover the house after exposure to standing water and leaks. Still, part of this process is also easing the tensions of the customer. Disasters can be traumatic for homeowners, especially with the uncertainties of what might be damaged permanently. 

• Notifying Customers of Risks - Customers need to be alerted to developing situations in their homes that might require them to move while restoration gets underway. Healthy communication helps keep the crisis as calm as possible. 

• Evaluating Safety Hazards - From shock hazards to contaminants, SERVPRO professionals must evaluate safety concerns for the occupants of the house and our responding restorers.

• Structural Inspections - Sagging materials can be a common sight after prolonged moisture exposure following situations like leaks or large plumbing failures. We evaluate the strength of installed materials and determine what is salvageable. 

• Begin Water Removal - Extraction is one of the critical elements of water mitigation, as pooling standing water can be destructive in many ways. 

How Drying Tools Get Determined

The mitigation process also serves as an opportunity to carefully evaluate the condition of the work areas and decide the best restoration and drying tools from our inventory to help. Air movers, dehumidifiers, portable heaters, drying mats, and other equipment can benefit from this restoration phase.
