Now you have a flooded basement. SERVPRO of Pottstown / Souderton will begin the water extraction process immediately upon arriving at your property. Depending on the amount of water will dictate what extraction process is utilized. Removing the water ASAP will reduce overall drying time and helps prevent secondary water damage, mold and bacterial growth. Our overall inspection of the affected areas will also concentrate on the flooring to determine if the floor material will be salvaged or removed to protect the underlying subfloor. Once the water extraction process is completed, the affected areas such as walls, floors, etc., may appear dry but will definitely require further additional attention. Many building materials are porous and thus absorb water. Any absorbed and retained water can cause porous materials to deteriorate, warp, and/or grow mold. SERVPRO will then implement a wide range of equipment to specifically dry out the wet affected materials. Equipment such as air movers (fans), dehumidifiers, heaters, etc., to accelerate the overall evaporation process and eventually return the property back to its preloss condition.
