SERVPRO Combines Controlled Demolition with Other Water Cleanup Steps in Raleigh Properties

It might be hard to consider building skills essential when trying to dry a flooded house. However, some flood removal processes require deconstruction to reach water and deteriorated materials confined in various cavities. A professional restorer like SERVPRO takes care of all aspects of flood restoration.

The process of flood removal from Raleigh properties is greatly influenced by how the damage develops. Flooding can be caused by rising groundwater or entry of rainwater from other access points such as openings in walls or missing shingles on the roof. Elevated entry points can leave water in vast sections of concealed areas, including the ceiling and wall cavities. Rising groundwater, on the other hand, heavily contaminates all porous materials in the cavities below the waterline. SERVPRO performs controlled demolition to access the damaged materials.

Building skills also help take care of other problems like:

• Leaking roof from storms
• Ceiling repairs from water damages
• Water damage repairs

When done properly, controlled demolition eases access to both the flood water trapped in cavities and the deteriorated materials. It also helps preserve salvageable materials. Our SERVPRO technicians rely on many things, including simple techniques such as cutting wall panels at least 2 inches above the visible water lines. We strip down walls to the studs providing access for drying and sanitization. Once through with the removal, our technicians put everything back together, eliminating traces of the loss, “Like it never even happened.”
