Mendham Water Mitigation Restoration Project Goes Smoothly with SERVPRO

It is essential to know that all water restoration projects must include water mitigation steps. What is water mitigation? This is the initial step for the process to handle water damage in any building, commercial or residential. Proper mitigation with the help of our SERVPRO crew prevents further damage to your Mendham from taking place. Our steps include:

• Water removal services
• In-depth moisture control
• Controlled demolition (as needed)
• Structural drying

When it comes to water mitigation in Mendham, you can think of it as our emergency response to help contain the initial impact of the water emergency. Once we get in and start working, we help minimize secondary water damage like:

• Crumbled drywall
• Bleeding dyes or rust development from furnishings
• Buckling, cupping, or warping floors
• Moisture migration into unaffected zones
• Widespread mold growth

Know the Difference: Water Mitigation vs. Water Restoration

It is a common misconception that mitigation and restoration are the same. Mitigation is the first line of defense, preventing any further damage from taking place. Restoration is the next phase of restoring your property and contents to pre-water event conditions. With water restoration, our IICRC-certified technicians work to:

• Restore any damaged structural areas
• Mold remediation
• Conducting humidity and moisture tests
• Sanitizing and cleaning affected property
• Controlled demolition, as needed

Any water damage, even an overflowing tub or spill in your kitchen, calls for fast action. Leaving water and moisture unaddressed for a long time leads to structural issues and a host of other complications. SERVPRO features the latest technologies and proven methods to get your home back to normal, “Like it never even happened.”
