Flood Water Removal Teams In Norristown Discuss The Monitoring Process

It is about to get cold in Pennsylvania, meaning that your water pipes could freeze inside your Norristown apartment complex. Once pipes freeze and break, you could find your self in need to call in a professional flood water removal company such as SERVPRO. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster, and we can quickly mitigate your issue before other bad things take place inside your home.

A pipe freeze can cause several gallons of water to pour into the interior of your building and require flood water removal inside your Norristown apartment unit. Once excessive moisture starts to negatively affect your building materials and contents, much water damage mitigation must get conducted by our SERVPRO professionals. If your moisture-related issues do not get treated promptly, then problems can get worse, and mold can even grow. Mold can cause health effects, but it takes about 48 hours to develop, so we always work to try to return moisture levels to normal to prevent fungal formations.

Once we arrive at your apartment complex, one of the first things we do is extract any liquid water from your unit. When it is in its liquid form, moisture is much easier to remove. Once it has evaporated into the air and soaked into your contents and building materials, the only way to remove it is through applied structural drying or ASD. During this process, we manipulate your indoor environment to speed up the natural drying and evaporation process.

During the ASD phase, we set up a combination of air movers and dehumidifiers that can help quickly dry out your structure after we set them up, we use moisture detection devices and other instruments to monitor the moisture content, temperature, and humidity inside your home. If any of these results prove to be insufficient for rapid ASD, then we can adjust our equipment as necessary. Once our measuring devices indicate that the moisture levels inside your building materials, contents, and indoor atmosphere prove to be returned to what they were before your pipe freeze took place, then we remove our equipment and begin the final cleaning phase.

After your pipes freeze, it is best to seek out the professionals. Call SERVPRO of Norristown at (610) 272-8520 any time of the day, and we will return your property to its pre-damage state, “Like it never even happened.”
