After Your Washing Machine Overflows, You Need Water Removal Services in Boynton Beach
Overloading the washing machine is not the only way that can cause it to overflow and flood your Boynton Beach residence. Using too much detergent, or the wrong kind can also create a problem. Another cause that we often see involves clogs in the drain. Any of these, or a slipped water line, can cause a disaster quickly.
When this happens in your home, you need someone with the expertise and equipment to perform water removal services in Boynton Beach immediately. SERVPRO® as goes our tagline; We're Faster To Any Size Disaster, promises also to work quickly and efficiently to restore your home. Depending on the volume of spillage we find, we start with the proper size extraction equipment. This might include submersible pumps but more likely involves only hand-held wands that quickly suction of water from floors. And maybe even a mop and bucket to prevent seepage into other floor levels or wall voids.
When warm or hot water overflowed, it can severely affect floors, particularly when detergent also seeps into floors. We use industry standard techniques to effectively clear the area of detergents and then use our Injectidry mats to extract the water below the floorboards. Hooked up to suctioning devices these mats increase drawing power from the joints in the hardwood boards pulling out residual moisture.
Other methods to dry out your home and eliminate water and reduce humidity include the placement of air movers and dehumidifiers. Air movers pull moisture out of surfaces and keep it from seeping deeper into walls, floors, and other items in the area where your washing machine sits. The dehumidifiers restore a standard Relative Humidity RH level after large water spills to help prevent secondary damages from occurring like mold growth and rusting of metal fixtures.
