Demolition and Mitigation by Queens County SERVPRO Technicians

In the Before Photo of this Queens County home’s kitchen, there appears to be damaged drywall and framing hanging over an entryway, extending the overhead cabinet along the wall. The presence of debris and stains that could indicate mold damage makes professional water restoration and mold mitigation a must-have to preserve the structure. SERVPRO trains technicians to render both of these services 24 hours a day.

In the After Photo, a technician can be seen wearing a mask while he evaluates moisture levels in the wall below with a pinless moisture sensor. The framing and ceiling above have had debris and drywall cut away. These sensors use electromagnetic sensor pads to read moisture levels in materials like wood and drywall to depths of 1 ¼”, depending on the model. This device helps ensure that structural drying and mitigation stay on track without performing unnecessary demolition.
