Mold Removal Port St Lucie

Our Process: From Water Damage Removal to Mold Remediation

Unwanted moisture can cause all sorts of problems in both commercial and residential spaces. Moisture from leaks under cabinets, floods that reach wall cabinets, soggy carpets, and wet ceilings are all perfect breeding grounds for mold. These have to be dealt with promptly to minimize the damage and save the property. It is a complicated job that requires specialized equipment and expert knowledge.

A complete drying system must be able to combine air movement, dehumidification, and air filtration in the right amounts. Every case will require these at varying levels depending on the size of the spaces, the extent of the water intrusion, and so on. Complete removal of water requires several steps in a logical progression.

Water Extraction

Quick action is necessary to get to the area while the water remains in liquid state and has not yet soaked through most of the materials. It is much easier and faster to extract standing water in large amounts than to try to coax out deeply embedded moisture through dehumidification and evaporation. Water extraction equipment is worth every penny.

Among the most effective equipment in water removal is flood pumps. They are capable of extracting as much as ten gallons of water per minute. Rooms can be cleared in no time at all thanks to these restoration tools. They are designed to be lightweight, portable, and easy to maneuver.

Evaporation and Air Movers

The extraction of most of the water from the flooded area is only the beginning. The remaining moisture must be dealt with, or else mold and other issues can develop. Airflow machines are typically placed in the affected rooms in an attempt to speed up the evaporation rate. Dry air gets pumped all over the structure to draw out moisture trapped inside the building materials.

Dehumidification, Drying, and Dryout Services

Another technique to remove any residual moisture is to use dehumidifiers. The level of humidity in an entire building goes way up after flooding. The process of dehumidification helps to lower this to an acceptable level using desiccants. It has been shown to be quite fast and efficient. We run drain lines to outside the property.

Dehumidifiers are also used to balance out the effects of evaporation. The moisture that evaporates into the air needs to be dealt with to avoid having any unintended damage such as mold growth. Dehumidification also prevents the water content in the air from being soaked by other materials in a room.

Time is of the essence. Workers are always racing against the clock as the amount of damage tends to rise with every minute that the water remains. Using professional equipment makes the drying process so much faster than manual means.

Moisture Detection and Dehumidifiers

The use of proper equipment for each step is crucial. Leaning on the most advanced technology is also vital as the boosts in efficiency are substantial. In addition, the team uses devices that can detect moisture as a means of monitoring the progress and evaluating the damage sustained. Heat may also be utilized to speed up the drying process whenever suitable. This will reduce the drying time. Clients can expect most projects to require at least 3 days.

A systematic drying process within a structure will rely heavily on the dehumidifier. This step is not as simple as turning on the machine and leaving it for a set period. There is a science behind it that professionals need to master. Years of field experience also helps in decision-making to improve results and avoid issues moving forward. Our team uses only the best available equipment in the industry for results that are second-to-none.

Aside from having excellent equipment, we also have a dedicated group of technicians with unquestionable skills. They will report to the property day after day in order to observe the progress of the drying process and measure important metrics like relative humidity. They will keep everything on track so that things can get back to normal as soon as possible.

The team will not pull out of the premises arbitrarily. We will adhere to strict standards set by the IICRC that define dryness to be at a certain level. We have special moisture detection equipment to measure the relevant data and prove that the standard has been achieved. Only then will the equipment be removed from the property. Completing the entire project is critical to complete odor removal.
