SERVPRO Crews Use Training and Experience in Similar Circumstances While Completing Water Removal in Centereach to the Highest Industry Standards

We invest in the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards and hands-on training for our managers and technicians to ensure we employ the latest research-based interventions when your Centereach home suffers a water loss. The propensity of water from any source, including pipe ruptures, appliance malfunctions, or spills, to migrate into building materials and cavities is a significant cause of structural deterioration, mold growth, and structural weakening and potential collapse. We build our crews’ knowledge capacity by keeping Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) and Applied Structural Drying (ASD) certifications current.

How Does “Clean” Supply Line Water Damage Building Materials?

The urgency recommended for water removal in your Centereach home can be puzzling, especially if it appears to drain away. Because homeowners use water for many beneficial purposes, the corrosive nature of both clean and contaminated water is often discounted. Our technicians focus on the rapid removal of clean water because of a range of impacts on conventional building materials:

• Causes wood framing and substrates to swell and distort, reducing load-bearing capacity
• Oxidizes (tarnishes or rusts) metals, resulting in staining and fastener and supportive failure
• Soaks and packs down insulation, reducing or eliminating projected R values (lessening efficiency) and providing an environment for mold growth
• Collects in building cavities above ceilings, between walls, and under floors, threatening structural collapse from weight and pressure

What Changes in SERVPRO’s Approach to Water Removal When Water Becomes Contaminated?

Clean water quickly acquires contaminants when it stands and moves through your home. Dust, dirt, household chemicals, mold and mildew spores, and more impurities infiltrate the fluids, transforming Category 1 water to Categories 2 or 3 in a matter of hours or days. Training and commercial-grade equipment support SERVPRO technicians as we collect and contain the water of any category. We follow local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of contaminated liquids appropriately and lawfully.
