Let SERVPRO’s water damage restoration technicians help you today.

As a barrier island at the tip of the Panhandle, Perdido Key has a unique location, even for Florida towns and cities, when it comes to being on the water. Although storms can make life difficult that far out, many homeowners quickly discover that more mundane sources of water cause the problems which force them to for cleanup service.

For water cleanup in Perdido Key, those same homeowners know to call SERVPRO. Every water damage restoration technician (WRT) trains extensively to remove water and then restore the personal and structural property of the affected home.

Depending on the amount covering the floor, WRTs use extraction wands to draw the water out. Then, or if the amount is even less, they utilize long-handled squeegees to push water off the surface and out of the home through the nearest door.

SERVPRO WRTs immediately examine the furniture and other property. Since water soaks and ruins paper within minutes, their first step is to quickly dispose of all damaged books, cardboard boxes, and other like items. Although the wet pulp is usually easy to remove, the inks and dyes present can soak and stain carpets and wood flooring.

For furniture, they lift the items off the damp surface and move them outside to pallets or racks for drying. If there are only minor effects on wood furniture, the WRTs carefully wipe and then sand off surface damage after installing fans to increase air circulation and speed up drying. For major cracking or splitting, team leaders recommend bringing in a professional furniture restorer.

As they complete personal property restoration, other team members examine the floors of the home to determine the needed tools and cleaners for restoration. The extraction wands also serve to pull water from between the floorboards. Usually, a combination of mild cleaners and a shampoo machine can clean the carpets of any ill effects. Carpet pads quickly deteriorate though, so WRTs normally remove all pads, dry the floor with a set of air movers and exhaust fans, and then stretch the carpet back into place.

At SERVPRO of West Pensacola, the goal is to quickly clean every residence so the owners can return to their home and lives. If you need our help after a broken water heater or an overflowing dishwasher, call us today at (850) 469-1160. We are here for you.
