Emergency Services are Critical to Prevent Irreparable Damage to Exposed Lindenhurst Homes 

Homes and businesses throughout the area experience water damage regularly, so it is an emergency that our SERVPRO team prepares to face. We have pre-stocked vehicles in our Green Fleet to mitigate loss quickly after these emergencies.

Identifying the Source of the Water Damage 

Water damage inspections can be among the earliest guideposts for water mitigation in Lindenhurst. Our production manager works with the customer to establish restoration priorities and develop a tailored restoration approach. This inspection can also pinpoint the source of the water damage to repair structural elements and plumbing where necessary.

Remove Contents from the Damaged Area 

Your personal belongings are a focal point for the restoration team. Removing contents from the affected areas of the house keeps them from becoming hosts for microbial colonies or experiencing irreparable harm. Our cleaning technicians have on-site recovery options and can relocate items to dry spaces in the house or to our nearby SERVPRO facility for focused restoration services.

Clearing Surface Water Concerns 

Among the most necessary mitigative actions is removing standing surface water. Because there are so many types of flooring and materials that could become affected by this pooling, several extraction devices must be used. The options get selected based on the severity of the damage and its location and can include:

• Electric submersible pump
• Trash pump
• Truck-mount extractor
• Wet vacuum
• Weighted extractor
• Carpet wand

As you can see, getting specific mitigation actions started right away can be critical to preventing the situation from getting worse in your home. Water damage is among the most common callouts for our SERVPRO of Amityville / Lindenhurst team, so we are prepared to help these damaged properties 24/7. Give us a call today at (631) 319-1680.
