Why Marlborough Residents Use SERVPRO to Restore Wet Basements

Wet Basement Marlborough
Basements are generally at a higher risk of sustaining damage than other areas of your home. Poor insulation can be a contributing factor. Besides, a basement's positioning as a below ground level space alongside malfunctioning equipment, such as sump pumps, can cause a problem for any homeowner. It is vital to take decisive action if you should discover moisture in your basement. These issues can quickly deteriorate into mold, rot, or contamination in the lower levels of your home.

As an established local provider of restoration services, we can help you with a Wet Basement incident in your Marlborough home. SERVPRO uses qualified water restoration technicians (WRT) as well as specialists with certification in applied structural drying (ASD) and molds remediation technicians. Our qualifications are given by the nationally recognized Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certifications (IICRC) body.

One of the challenges facing a SERVPRO WRT is the lack of open-air ventilation in subterranean regions of the home. This challenge means that your technician needs to apply a closed-system drying method. Closed system drying methods involve creating artificial are movement, encouraging evaporation, and dehumidifiers to remove evaporated moisture from the surrounding air.

Proper drying techniques are among the most effective at controlling microbial growth issues. These techniques can also tackle stubborn unpleasant odors, which can be more noticeable in wet or humid conditions. In situations where water odors remain after the cleaning and drying process is complete, SERVPRO technicians can deploy odor restoration equipment.

Controlling odor works best when the method of dispersal mirrors that of the cause of the odor. In a situation where water has led to unpleasant odors, SERVPRO initially uses spray-on or liquid deodorants. We can also place masking pellets or, in some cases, used water-based ultra-low volume fogging equipment. Using a combination of drying, cleaning, and deodorizing methods, we can be confident of restoring your lower levels to their preloss condition.

If you notice a water emergency in the lower levels of your home, contact SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord immediately at (978) 486-9868.
