Fire & Water - Cleanup & Restoration

Emergency water damage services from SERVPRO of Cedar Mill / Oak Hills!

3/6/2019 (Permalink)

After storms blow through Oregon, the flooding often recedes quickly. The effects on condos, duplexes, and other homes can remain for weeks, however. If not cleaned or restored quickly, further damage can happen as well.

So why SERVPRO to remove water damage home? Our company trains each specialist to the standards required by our industry, we maintain an extensive, restoration equipment inventory, and can take the initial steps to return your home to its original condition.

Our first action to restoring a home is to remove everything that cannot be salvaged or repaired. In the case of flooding, floor trim and drywall panels can quickly absorb enough water to cause them to warp or crumble and dissolve in place.

Our SERVPRO team members then begin disinfecting and drying the home. Specialists spray any surface affected by the flooding with an anti-bacterial chemical and allow it to dry. Next, they clean each surface to remove soil, and other contaminants left by the receding water and allow them all to dry once again.

For space underneath the floors and behind the drywall, our teams use several devices to dry them for replacement quickly. Specialists use air movers to blow warm, dry air across damp surfaces to force out moisture trapped inside the wood. As the moisture evaporates, they install exhaust fans to draw out the damp air and direct it outside through the nearest window or door. If the inside humidity is very high, specialists may also install one or more dehumidifiers to remove water directly from the air.

Our goal at SERVPRO of Cedar Mill / Oak Hills is to restore each home to a clean, dry condition as quickly as possible. If you need us, call (503) 957-6367 today to get started. We are here for you to make things seem "Like it never even happened"!
