Important Actions For Effective Water Cleanup In Lehi

When there is a water intrusion incident in your Lehi property, you need to take appropriate action and do it fast enough. Taking the wrong steps or taking too long to start cleanup are two known causes of additional damages. Some of the common issues that come to haunt people later include failure to identify hidden moisture pockets such as water that seeps into wall cavities or cleanup efforts fail to match the specific conditions prevailing in an incident. Our restoration services are dependable since we are IICRC certified.

Proper water cleanup in Lehi should involve fast moisture evacuation because if left in place for long, mold can start forming within 24 to 48 hours complicating the cleaning process further. Although the ever-present mold spores require different conditions to thrive including food sources and the right temperature, only moisture misses in most areas. Therefore, any increase in moisture or humidity levels leads to growth. Our SERVPRO crew uses different equipment to extract water before this crucial period elapses. If the water goes over two inches, we use submersible pumps. In other situations, our portable and truck mounted extractors handle the task well.

Different kinds of soiling happen during a water spill. The most common form is staining which can arise from rusting of metals close to fabrics and bleeding dyes transferred from non-colorfast materials. Our SERVPRO technicians understand the need for fast action when dealing with stains because waiting too long sets them. In addition to removing them early, we also use the appropriate professional cleaning product because using the wrong one can cause them to set. For example, we never use chlorine bleach on rust stains because it sets them.

Water spreads debris around the property depending on the source. If a faulty appliance such as a dishwasher causes the spill, the resultant debris includes food and detergent remains. Thorough restorative cleaning is, therefore, necessary to eliminate these waste materials. Our SERVPRO crew can use pressure washers to eliminate these remains easily. Our water extractors also have heating capabilities that help ease restorative cleaning.

Cleanup after a water spill requires proper balancing. With help from SERVPRO of North Utah County, you do not have to worry about the steps to take. Call us at (801) 785-5228 any time.
