What Are The Most Common Mitigation Needs for Water-Damaged Queens Homes?

10/19/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO IICRC certified technicians have the experience and technology for any size water damage restoration project.

Emergency services vary from one Queens home to another, but some mitigative needs are common. 

Mitigation is a term used to describe several specific actions our professionals take when reaching a water-damaged address after a disaster. Because these situations can get out of control quickly with water migrating and absorbing into sensitive surfaces, common mitigation goes beyond basic principles like:

• Removing standing water
• Protecting damaged contents
• Overcoming safety and health hazards

Water Removal Services Protect Exposed Contents

Almost every example of water mitigation in Queens homes or businesses involves some level of water removal services. While not all situations are akin to substantial flood damage with several inches or feet of standing water, even small pooling threats can negatively impact your home. We have multiple extraction tools and devices in our inventory to handle water removal services of all sizes. 

Content Relocation and Surface Cleaning 

Your personal belongings and furniture are often as highly regarded as the rest of the house when water damage occurs. Our mitigation strategies focus on protecting these items however possible, usually through relocating personal belongings to another area of the house or through cleaning and restoration off-site at our nearby SERVPRO facility.
