Because so many potential causes for water damage exist in area homes and businesses, water clean up is among the most common service callouts our SERVPRO team receives. We offer fast and reliable service to begin mitigation work in these situations, showcasing years of experience that our restoration team has for water damage remediation. Water disasters of varying types present unique obstacles for restorers, so establishing the kind of damage and the necessary restoration and recovery steps as soon as possible is critical to help with:

Water Removal Services for Standing Water Concerns

After burst pipes, ceiling leaks, and other types of water damage in Great Falls homes, water removal services are necessary. Often, professionals cannot calculate the full extent of a disaster's damage until surface water concerns are addressed by responding technicians from our SERVPRO team.

There are numerous machines and instruments in our recovery inventory to efficiently remove pooling water and begin subsequent water clean up and flood restoration, including truck-mount extractors, electric submersible pumps, trash pumps, and wet vacuums. Specialty weighted extractors and carpet wands can also help to prevent trapped water from becoming bound.

Drying Tools for Appropriate Water Clean Up

There is no mistaking that drying is among the most important steps to overcome water damage, which can also happen in several ways. Bound water can be a challenging obstacle for responding technicians, primarily because the composition of the affected material begins to degrade and deteriorate at this stage. Axial and centrifugal air movers directed at impacted surfaces can promote surface drying and evaporation. However, more direct measures are often necessary to overcome trapped moisture and water beyond these visible points.

The Injecti-Dry system and other positive and negative pressure systems work to infuse warm, dry air into structural cavities to promote evaporation and better protect exposed materials. The objective of using this multi-hose system and directly blasting air into these cavities is to reduce the need for tear-out and reconstruction.

Water Damage Repairs and Controlled Demolition

Despite the efficiency and efficacy of drying tools and devices to promote evaporation in structural cavities, there are circumstances where too much damage and degradation has occurred. Our general contractor license allows us to complete multiple water damage repairs and reconstruction services your home might require. Beginning with controlled demolition to remove ruined materials, we can begin reconstruction and build-back as soon as water clean up completes.

Bound water can often only get resolved by removing and replacing drywall, flooring, and other affected building materials.
