Factors that Influence the Outcome of Water Removal in Charleston

• Leaking or burst pipes can leave you with a massive restoration bill if you do not take the proper steps. Part of taking the right steps is a swift response because leaving standing water on your property for too long leads to further deterioration. As an IICRC-certified restorer, we are conversant with ASD, Applied Structural Drying, so we use the most suitable approaches to remove water from your Charleston Property.

• The amount of water damage to your Charleston property may determine what steps to take for efficient water removal. Water that covers most of the rooms can take days to remove and dry all affected areas, thus requiring the occupants to move out. Our SERVPRO® of Downtown Charleston technicians rely on high-capacity resources such as truck-mounted water extractors to quicken the restoration process reducing the time people spend away from their properties.

• Water spills can soil your property, necessitating thorough cleanup. Some likely sources of such soiling include food remains, detergents if the leak originates from an appliance such as a dishwasher, and dyes from non-colorfast fabrics. Failure to clean properly can lead to serious problems in the future, including stains and foul odor. Our SERVPRO® of Downtown Charleston technicians combine the use of tools and professional cleaning agents to clean affected areas to sanitary levels. For example, the heating capability in our water extractors helps ease the cleanup process.

• After removing all standing water, there is a need to dry any excess moisture left in the materials. Drying can take a long time because it works through evaporation. Our SERVPRO® of Downtown Charleston team takes different approaches to expedite evaporation. One option is to run air movers in the wet areas increasing the evaporation rate. We also use plastic sheets to create smaller sections in large rooms, which help reduce the volume of air that runs through dehumidifiers for moisture extraction.
