Rapid Water Removal Can Salvage a Hardwood Floor in Cocoa Beach

Moisture Extraction Is a Key Element of Water Damage Restoration

Living in proximity to the Atlantic Ocean is a dream come true for those who choose Florida as a part-time or year round home. Unfortunately, the closeness of this vast sea puts homeowners at risk of severe water damage when seasonal storms rock the coast and islands in this popular resort and living area. SERVPRO has the equipment, the staff, and the expertise to handle even difficult water removal challenges presented by these conditions. As a leader in the disaster restoration industry, you can expect us to design a solution for your water damage woes that will return your home to pre-loss condition quickly and professionally.

In the aftermath of a major tropical storm or hurricane, the water removal issues presented by your Cocoa Beach home are not for the do-it-yourselfer. Several inches of rainwater standing in your lower level equates to thousands of gallons, clearly, something that must be removed with an industrial grade submersible pump, followed by efficient water extractors that suck moisture from floor coverings, walls, and furnishings. The window of opportunity for water removal of this magnitude is limited to just a day or two before contamination complicates matters. Speedy and competent technicians are the key to successful water removal, trained for the intensity and urgency presented by this level of disaster.

Once the obvious water is removed, many more essential tasks must be completed competently to restore the building structure without permanent damage. It is critical to reducing the ambient humidity to targeted levels by moving air around, behind and under the affected structures. SERVPRO technicians are proficient in removing hidden water from floors walls and ceilings, this step necessary to prevent warping and buckling of saturated materials. Even if it looks like all the water is removed from the foundation the home's drywall, wood and furnishings can still contain moisture which will feed microbial growth if left to dry slowly. Musty smelling, damp and stained, this result is not up to our standards and will create many more problems for the homeowner as mold growth, and disintegration of soaked building materials and contents are almost sure to follow an incomplete drying job.
