How Can Ft. Lauderdale Homes Get Restored After Burst Pipes?
9/20/2022 (Permalink)
Damage in wall cavities can be far-reaching in Ft. Lauderdale properties.
Burst pipes can often leave a high volume of water damage trapped between walls or floors of your property. Our experienced professionals have effective means of draining out trapped water and beginning the vital drying process to minimize the controlled demolition and reconstruction needed to return the property to its original condition.
Water Removal and Moisture Monitoring
Among the most challenging aspects of water damage restoration for Ft. Lauderdale homes is clearing standing water from the property. Any pooling can be devastating to porous materials exposed, namely drywall and flooring. With vacuuming and pumps, we can collect and safely dispose of any standing water concerns.
With surface water resolved, we can begin monitoring and investigating the spread and severity of moisture and dampness pockets. Several tools and technologies are prevalent in this process, many of which continue to get used throughout the drying process to monitor progress. These include:
- Thermal imagery (Infrared)
- Moisture meters
- Probing meters
