Water Mitigation Should Start Immediately for Boston Residences

SERVPRO provides the highest quality when it comes to water damage restoration. We use the latest technology and equipment for every disaster.

How Do Homeowners Start Water Mitigation?

Homeowners can be overwhelmed by an emergency in their homes, like a burst pipe or a broken appliance spewing water. Fast action is vital, however. House occupants should assess the situation quickly and begin their own form of water mitigation with four early steps:

• Contact restoration professionals
  
• Contact your insurance provider
• Get to safety if hazards exist
• Move items that could be in the damage path 

Needed Water Damage Repairs

Water mitigation for Boston homes and businesses relies on our general contractor license, between controlled demolition and replacing damaged plumbing fixtures. We have skilled professionals capable of helping erect containment barriers, remove damaged bulk materials, and install new plumbing and fixtures after breaks and bursts. These early construction services pave the way for other mitigative actions needed.

The Need for Water Removal

Standing water can be a considerable threat to any property, especially those with sensitive materials exposed like carpeting and wood flooring. Preventing water absorption through these surface elements and into padding and subflooring requires prompt water removal services with extraction devices in our inventory. We have a combination of pumps and vacuums to help in this effort, followed by specialty equipment for specific circumstances.

Continuing Effective Restoration After Mitigation

While mitigation is a critical component to the overall recovery of a property, it is not the full spectrum of the work to be done in a structure. We have several actions to continue after these initial efforts, including structural drying, surface cleaning, repairs, and content move-back services.

Mitigation provides the most direct measures by our professionals to protect your property and reduce the need for demolition or repairs. Emergency services and early cleaning actions vary by the job, but our SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Roslindale team is ready to help Boston area residents make it "Like it never even happened."
