We can get your property back to the state it was in before the unfortunate water incident.

SERVPRO Teams have a list of Preparations, Tasks, and Tools to Swiftly Assess and Restore your Homes Water Damage.

When you walk into your home and find puddles of water, the main concern is how long it is likely to take to extract the water and dry the excess moisture, restoring preloss conditions. Calling in a professional like SERVPRO can help expedite the process because of the preparations we do before starting work at the loss site.

Collecting Essential Tools

Restoring water damage loss in Nutley involves several activities, most of which require simple or advanced tools to accomplish. Typical actions include removing baseboards, carpets, drywall, and other porous materials affected by the water spill. The lack of such devices can stall or extend the restoration process. Our SERVPRO crews bring fully stocked toolboxes in our production trucks to help tackle standard restoration tasks comfortably. Common tools in most jobs include:

• Molding lifters
• Rubber hammers
• Carpet awls
• Plug adapters
• Different plumbing tools

Apart from helping quicken the restoration process, having the right tools also limits the chances of causing unnecessary damages to materials that can prolong the restoration. For example, removing wall panels and safely reinstalling them is possible when done using molding lifters and rubber hammers.

The right handling equipment

Water migrates easily and can find a way under heavy or bulky contents such as furniture, and if left unaddressed, it can cause severe damages. Moving such items to reach the water can be difficult or might take time without the right resources. Our SERVPRO crews bring handling equipment such as air sleds or sliders to ease the movement of heavy items, especially when conducting partial or complete move-outs.

Specialized equipment

Apart from the regular tools, some situations require specialized tools to accomplish various restoration tasks. For example, drying walls or floors can take time due to the semi-porous nature of some of the materials used. Specialized equipment such as perforation rollers can help expedite the evaporation rate on materials such as gloss paints, floor finishes, and vinyl wall coverings.

Speedy restoration of water damage takes several things, but preparation helps. Call SERVPRO of Nutley / Bloomfield at (973) 662-0062 to help. We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.
