Dedicated Water Removal Services to Restore Your Phoenix Home

If your property experiences a water damage incident, then you need professional water removal services. It is easy to understand why all Americans are encouraged to develop a game plan this September - the National Preparedness Month - and make sure their loved ones are safe. For instance, as a resident of Phoenix, you can encourage your kids to download Monster Guard app - a free app that guides children on preparedness by playing an exciting game.
 
When our SERVPRO technicians are performing water removal in Phoenix, we must first determine whether the water is from a clean or contaminated source. If the water is from a contaminated source, we eliminate safety hazards to ensure the restoration process is smooth. We also stay protected by using appropriate PPE - such as rubber gloves, full-body suits, boots, eye protection, and respirators.
 
Once we establish there is a hazardous waste at the site, we have to remove it as soon as we can. Any debris or silt that contains asbestos or lead is regarded as hazardous waste. With the help of rakes and shovels, we can remove the silt. If there is a danger of spreading the contaminants to clean areas, then we may be forced to put in place containment measures. For instance, the introduction of negative pressure at the site can prevent the movement of mold spores to the surrounding uncontaminated areas.
 
By using the extractors, our SERVPRO technicians can remove excess water from the flooring and carpets. Usually, we dispose and recommend a replacement when we come across porous items that are exposed to black water contamination. Even after drying, these items can still retain some contaminants within their spaces. After cleaning the affected areas, we can also apply EPA-registered disinfectants to sterilize the surfaces and lower chances of mold growth.
 
At SERVPRO of East Phoenix, we use advanced cleaning and restoration equipment to return your commercial or residential property to its preloss state. Call us at (602) 507-6163 at any time of the day and allow our highly trained technicians to offer you quality and dedicated emergency services.
