Water Removal Services Protect Homes & Contents

A water line breaking is a terrible, costly event for any homeowner in Fort Lauderdale. As water sits, it becomes stagnant and murkier, with an increased number of microbes that carry negligible risk when in small numbers. Our SERVPRO® water removal team extracts water with scaled services, including our pump truck. As our largest machine, it powers submersible pumps that extract debris-filled water and smaller extraction wands that fit underneath your kitchen appliances. 

The risks of different problems increase, such as contamination and deterioration of building materials within your Fort Lauderdale residence. By initiating water removal services promptly, you can significantly reduce these risks and ensure optimal results after an emergency involving water released into your home's living space, providing you with a sense of relief and reassurance. 

Delaying this crucial step allows your house's condition to deteriorate unnecessarily, resulting in several adverse effects: 

• Increased humidity,  
• Elevated flood-cuts, and 
• A reduction in secondary damage. 

As water sits, more of it can evaporate into the air. Existing air currents easily carry this moisture to unimpacted areas of your residence.

Water on the floor that reaches the wall then slowly wicks upwards, soaking into the drywall and causing it to expand. Because it is not cost-effective to repair swollen drywall, we opt to make flood cuts and replace the removed material. These are always made above the water line to avoid any sections that may have absorbed water but have not yet exhibited swelling.

Wherever SERVPRO can initiate water removal services soon after an emergency, it plays a crucial role in considerably reducing the structure's risk of secondary water damage and other preventable effects. This ensures that you feel secure and protected, knowing that professionals are taking care of your home.
