5/20/2022 (Permalink)
If you’ve ever been faced with a sudden surge of water, whether from a burst pipe or a raging storm, you know just how overwhelming it can be. SERVPRO has been providing water damage cleanup Albuquerque can trust for over 50 years and we take pride in our reputation for service and quality.
It’s hard to imagine disaster striking in this beautiful area, with its picturesque mountains and 42.9 square miles of park land. From its many examples of the unique Pueblo Revival architectural style to its hot and spicy native cuisine, Albuquerque has so much to offer.
Despite the many features that draw thousands of visitors every year, this area is not immune to the potentially devastating effects of water damage.
As part of this community ourselves, we at SERVPRO understand the challenges presented by unforeseen water-related emergencies and we’re ready to respond 24/7 to help get the restoration process started as quickly as possible.
We have cutting-edge training and use the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to tackle every water damage restoration job no matter how large or small and we’re careful to treat every property as if it were our own.
Our restoration process is designed to make each property look “Like it never even happened”, with carefully structured steps to thoroughly address the damage:
- Initial Contact – We have operators ready to take your call 24/7 because we know that disaster can strike at any time and speed is essential. We’ll ask specific questions that will help us to determine the equipment and resources we’ll need to handle your job so we won’t have to waste any time in responding and getting the restoration underway.
- Inspection and Water Damage Assessment – We’ll have a technician on-site within four hours of your call and they’ll begin by performing a thorough inspection of your property.
We’ll need to determine the source of the problem and ensure that it has been stopped, then we’ll examine the water to identify the type and the extent of the damage so we know exactly what steps need to be taken next.
We’ll also check for any safety concerns that may need to be addressed before work can begin and we’ll move any furniture or other items to prevent rust or stains on carpeting and flooring.
- Removal/Extraction – Once the amount of damage has been determined, the process of removing or extracting the water can begin. If the restoration process will be extensive, SERVPRO can help you to perform an organized and efficient moving process in order to protect your belongings from any further damage. With the area cleared, we can then remove any standing water using submersible pumps and industrial-grade wet/dry vacuums.
Other equipment, including moisture detectors and hygrometers, can be used to measure the extent of moisture both on surfaces and in the air while infrared cameras are used to detect any “hidden” water behind walls or in ceilings. It is extremely important that every bit of moisture be detected and removed in order to mitigate damage.
- Drying/Dehumidification – We’ll use industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to ensure that all moisture is completely removed from the affected area and surrounding rooms. This part of the process is also important to help avoid the warping of floors, walls, and furniture. Using moisture meters, we’ll carefully monitor the progress until we are satisfied that the humidity and moisture levels have returned to a safe level.
- Cleaning/Sanitizing – Water can leave behind a dirty mess, especially if it is heavily contaminated. Once everything has been thoroughly dried, we’ll clean the entire structure as well as any furniture, upholstery, clothing, or restorable belongings that have been damaged.
We’ll also use air scrubbers and fogging equipment to help remove any lingering odors while simultaneously applying antimicrobial, antibacterial, and disinfectant treatments to sanitize all surfaces. We’ll even help to dispose of any items that you or your insurance adjuster deem to be unsalvageable.
- Restoration – Some repair and reconstruction may be necessary to complete the process of returning your property to its previous state. This may include drywall removal and installation, hardwood or tile floor repair, painting, or carpet repair and installation. At SERVPRO, we understand that having one company perform the entire process can be both time and cost-saving and that’s why we’re prepared to take you through every step with the quality services you expect.
