Mitigation describes a series of actions that our certified technicians take to clean and restore a damaged home after a water leak or flooding. The fast response of our SERVPRO team allows us to prioritize three main objectives with almost every water damage event we restore.

Creating a Safe Work Environment

The earliest actions of water mitigation in Raleigh homes are designed to make the house safer for responding technicians and the occupants if relocation of the family was not needed. Making the work area safer means taking the extra time to scope possible risks like:

• Structural integrity of building materials
• Contamination concerns
• Health and safety hazards

Removing Standing Water from the House

Extraction and water removal services are often needed, especially after greater damage events like burst pipes or appliance failures. When standing water is a concern in the house, it must be resolved as soon as possible to protect materials like wood flooring and carpeting from irreparable damage and overexposure. Depending on where the water is and the severity of the situation, we have multiple extraction devices to help.

Protecting Contents from Overexposure

Content relocation describes the efforts made to reposition the personal belongings, furniture, and loose items from a damaged area of the house to a safe and dry space. This process prevents excessive moisture exposure that can result in mold damage. Containment can also serve to limit the migration of water into areas where more contents could be affected.

Understanding the focus of water mitigation and emergency services shows our commitment to both the house and its contents. Water disasters range considerably, so prioritizing specific objectives makes the entire restoration process more efficient.
