Can SERVPRO Salvage Material During Water Mitigation of Your Marlborough Home? 

SERVPRO restorers adhere to the S500 guidelines by IICRC during the water mitigation of your Marlborough home. The guidelines identify that the materials exposed to water damage should be cleaned and decontaminated as appropriate. SERVPRO technicians use different techniques to accomplish this and salvage materials that remain in place during water damage. 

SERVPRO techs use a HEPA vacuum to clean dry particles or debris such as drywall dust during water mitigation of your Marlborough home. However, another type of residue and soil often requires a wet cleaning method. SERVPRO techs sometimes use a pressure washer to clean structural components such as walls and floors, especially during flood restoration and sewage cleanup. Another material such as wood and concrete is wet cleaned. 

How do SERVPRO Techs Perform Wet Cleaning During Water Cleanup of Your Marlborough Home? 

Wet cleaning your water-damaged Marlborough home involves using a detergent mixed with water to remove any residue from the surfaces. Technicians usually use a towel to clean hard surfaces such as hardwood floors, tiles, and concrete. 

If the carpets are affected by category two water, SERVPRO techs clean them using hot water extraction carpet cleaning. Cleaning contaminated structures and contents are critical since organic soils can render a disinfectant ineffective. If materials are not clean, they cannot be decontaminated. 

The IICRC S500 guidelines recommend that the restorers use appropriate biocide if the decontamination is not accomplished by cleaning alone. Our technicians use EPA-approved disinfectants to salvage any water-damaged structure during restoration. A pump or an electric sprayer is used to spray the disinfectant solution on the surfaces where it is left for 15 minutes before being cleaned off.
