Longboat Key Water Damage Restoration Services

In Longboat Key, the summers are long, hot, oppressive, wet, and mostly cloudy and the winters are short, cool, windy, and partly cloudy. Typhoons visit Longboat Key from time to time and when this happens, some homes are devastatingly affected by water damage. ServiceMaster by Wright is a licensed Longboat Key water damage restoration company who can assist you with your water damage concerns.
Several homes are affected by seepage. Flooding waters can penetrate cracks and holes that you can’t see. A good assessment by ServiceMaster by Wright can spot those cracks and holes. Mold grows in those unseen cracks causing health issues. Ordinary sealers may hide those still wet areas and allow mold to grow. Longboat Key water damage equipment is specifically designed to help clean out the water from these areas.
Water damage happens for a variety of causes, including:

Plumbing leaks
• Burst or broken pipes and hoses
• A clogged toilet
• Moisture behind walls
• A leaking roof

Process of Water Damage Restoration
The process carried out to restore property from water or flood damage back to its original condition involves five steps. It also requires specialized equipment and expertise in handling to restore the affected property quickly. We take a scientific approach to all our cleaning and restoration services. Here is how we carry out water restoration projects at ServiceMaster by Wright.

• Call Us. When you call ServiceMaster by Wright in the event of a water damage emergency, our representatives will ask specific questions to help our teams respond faster to your water emergency. The questions are limited to your location, time of the disaster, and the apparent causes.
• We Assess. We deploy our nearest team of specialists who reach the site within hours to inspect your property’s water damage. First, they determine the category of water and the affected area. This step is essential in all our restoration services as it helps us draft the most effective strategy to minimize downtime, control cost, and to perform a successful restoration.
• Water Extraction. In this step, we remove water using powerful pumps and vacuums. We try to start this process as soon as possible to avoid further damage and risks, such as mold growth due to the standing water.
• Drying and Dehumidification. After most of the water is removed from your property, our professionals use the latest equipment to blow out all the water stuck in places that are hard to reach through vacuums and pumps. Heavy drying fans are placed to evaporate the moisture from the entire area of effect. Dehumidifiers are run to ensure the air is free from excess moisture caused by evaporation.
  
• We Clean and Sanitize. Water can affect not only the structure, but also the contents of a building, such as appliances, furniture, closing, and personal belongings. Our specialists clean and restore items using different techniques. The items that are damaged beyond repair are removed, while some of the items are sent to the workshop where restoration experts reinstate them. The property is then treated with antibacterial sanitizers to remove microbes that may pose a threat to health. Industrial equipment is used to eliminate any odors until the air is breathable.
• We Restore. The last step in our water damage restoration process is restoring your property back to its former glory. In this step, drywall panels are replaced, damaged surfaces are plastered, and the wall painted. Major reconstruction may also take place where there is extensive damage.
