SERVPRO Identifies Problems That Might Interfere with Water Cleanup in Lafayette Properties before Starting the Process

After an incident of water intrusion, you need to do more than just extracting water or drying wet materials. Cleaning up the affected areas helps address many issues that develop after leaks. SERVPRO helps cleanup Lafayette properties thoroughly, guaranteeing the best outcomes.

What do water cleanup exercises in Lafayette properties involve?

In a Lafayette incident involving clean water, you might not expect significant cleanup tasks. However, various issues might arise once moisture interacts with other house materials, necessitating advanced cleaning procedures. Some standard restoration procedures include:

• Stain removal
• Removal of deteriorated materials
• Management of microbial agents
• Odor removal

Stains arise mostly from dyes in upholstery or fabrics such as draperies running, affecting other vicinity items. The water might also affect materials such as pad, drywall, or insulation to the extent that drying cannot reverse the damage. Our SERVPRO technicians help remove such deteriorated materials during the cleanup process.

What counts as effective cleanup?

A cleaning exercise should help restore the property to its preloss state. The process should also guarantee sanitary conditions in the property after addressing the incident. Our SERVPRO crews achieve the desired goal by:

• Evaluating moisture migration fully
• Applying antimicrobial agents on the back of carpets
• Using potent yet safe cleaning products

Challenges such as odor and mold growth mostly arise when residue moisture is left in the property after the cleanup exercise. Our technicians can probe deep within materials using penetrative moisture meters. We also check cavities for wetness using thermal cameras. In case of hidden moisture, we can open the areas or use advanced cavity drying techniques to manage the moisture.
