There is no job too big or small for your local SERVPRO of Sullivan and South Ulster Counties.

The Rapid Response of Restorers Can be Beneficial for Needed Water Cleanup in Milton Properties.

An advantage of the fast response SERVPRO provides is the care we can put into the restoration work we do to protect a structure and its contents better. With the destructive nature of water damage, even limited exposures can result in costly ruin. Effective drying solutions can prevent some of this property damage starting when our team first arrives.

Clearing Surface Water 

We must implement our water removal services before much of the official water cleanup for Milton homes can begin. Using a combination of submersible pumps and vacuums, we can eliminate pooling water on the surface of flooring materials before excessive penetration and saturation occur in many cases. The more we can limit water migration, the less direct damage the structural elements endure.

Powerful Moisture Tracking Tools 

We implement multiple moisture detection tools to determine if moisture has moved beyond the surface material into the subflooring underneath. Depending on the affected materials and type of flooring, numerous methods are encouraged to track the movement of damp pockets and work to eliminate this harmful moisture before greater problems result. Some tools include:

• Thermal imagery
• Hygrometers
• Surface moisture meters

Controlled Demolition and Drying Solutions 

Effective drying utilizes foundational tools in our inventory like air movers and dehumidifiers. The placement and frequencies of these pieces of equipment directly correlate with the efficiencies of effective water removal and drying. We have capable professionals for controlled demolition and reconstruction when great damage exists that drying cannot overcome.

With how incredibly water damage can impact a home or business, having the fast response of qualified water restoration professionals is crucial. Our SERVPRO of Sullivan and South Ulster Counties team is ready to help however you need when you call (845) 791-7647.
