What happens after water damage in your Attleboro home

9/8/2020 (Permalink)

After a water loss, one of the main challenges that needs to be addressed is, of course, the water! Standing water can also lead to musty smells and mold growth…both of which nobody wants in their Attleboro business.

We are in the midst of Atlantic hurricane season, and while it’s been quite warm, we have seen a few bad, rainy days and with the fall season approaching, we can expect some more. As an Attleboro business owner, it’s important for you to be aware and prepared for what to do/ what we can do to help after a flood or other water damage to your property.

Water extraction

When you call us after you experience any water damage, we’ll start by getting rid of all standing water to reduce the initial and secondary damage.

Cleaning and disinfecting

After the water is gone, our technicians will begin cleaning and disinfecting the area. This is also in efforts to reduce the musty odor!

Drying

Typically right after the water is extracted, we will place our drying equipment such as air movers and dehumidifiers to start the drying process.

Our technicians will do daily checks to ensure the property is drying properly and is showing good levels of dryness!

Odor after water damage

Think about walking into an old basement…what do you smell?? Must… that’s because of all the moisture held down there. The same thing happens after a water damage, if any material is left the slightest bit damp, it will begin to stink.

Carpets, walls, furniture, and other material in your commercial space are likely to suffer from some damage if your building experiences any type of water damage. At SERVPRO of the Attleboros, we’re equipped, experienced, and trained to eliminate any offensive odors after a water loss! We have numerous types of deodorants and techniques to make sure your commercial property is smelling “Like it never even happened.”

When it comes to water damage, it’s kind of difficult to determine the exact source of the odor, but at SERVPRO, we use HEPA air scrubbers to remove all those tiny little odor particles from the air. Sometimes we may even use a fogging method to neutralize odors.

If you experience any water damage, give us a call at (508) 223-0505
