Frequent storms causes flooding to be a year round threat. But no worries. SERVPRO is always on call!

SERVPRO is a Trusted Name for Storm Water Cleanup in Fort Lauderdale

Water damage after a storm can be challenging to repair without professional help. You need professionals like SERVPRO for water cleanup in your Fort Lauderdale home who have the experience, knowledge, and tools to do the job safely and effectively. 

SERVPRO uses a multi-step water cleanup process in Fort Lauderdale homes. The first step after the initial inspection is to pump out any standing water as quickly as possible. Once the techs remove water, the next goal is to dry the structure by creating ideal drying conditions using air movers and dehumidifiers. 

Using Air Filtration Devices (AFDs) during Water Restoration

Air filtration devices perform two functions simultaneously: moving the drying air across the wet surfaces and filtering it. The AFDs that SERVPRO techs use in Fort Lauderdale homes are usually equipped with multiple filters, including High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.

The HEPA filters can remove 99.97% of airborne particles/ contaminants of more than 0.3 microns in size from the drying air. AFDs play a crucial role in preventing the spread of microbial contaminants that might be present in stormwater while drying the structure.

SERVPRO techs sometimes also use special filters in such devices that can remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

To be effective, an AFD relies on a series of filters. The most common filters that AFDs contain include the following:

• Primary filter:It is a poly-sum or a pleated pre-filter that can capture large debris and contaminants before they can reach the next filtration layer.
• Secondary filter: It is usually a pleated filter with a higher capture rate than the primary filter. 
• HEPA filter:The third and final layer is the HEPA filter, which has the highest capture rate.
