SERVPRO® Helps Vernon Homeowners Manage Water Damage Issues

Vernon was established as a town in October 1808. It derived its name from George Washington's famed Mount Vernon estate. Within its borders lies the once-independent city of Rockville, formally established in January 1889 and later merged with Vernon in January 1965. Hikers and cyclists can explore the scenic trails of Valley Falls Park or enjoy a stroll along the Tankerhoosen River. The Union Church of Rockville and the Sacred Heart Church reflect the town's rich heritage, giving the community reverence and tranquility. Residents eagerly anticipate signature events such as the Vernon Summer Days Festival, which brings the community together in joyous amity.

Having a dependable partner for prompt and effective water removal in Vernon is vital when faced with water damage. Entrusting the task to professionals such as SERVPRO ensures that the situation is handled with expertise, precision, and the necessary resources, minimizing downtime and mitigating further damage to your property. Water removal may present numerous challenges. However, our knowledge and resources enable us to tackle these hurdles effectively, ensuring efficient restoration of properties. 

Possible water damage restoration challenges 

• Time sensitivity
• Choosing appropriate water removal equipment
• Setting drying equipment strategically for efficiency
• Detecting moisture detection

Water can seep into concealed areas such as wall crevices and beneath floors, accumulating undetected moisture. SERVPRO experts utilize specialized tools like infrared cameras to identify hidden moisture, guaranteeing comprehensive removal and drying procedures.

Identifying the Correct Water Removal Equipment

Using the wrong water extraction equipment in restoration work can significantly impact the restoration process in several ways:

• Incomplete removal
• Inefficiencies that extend the process
• Damage to surfaces

Different types of water damage require specific equipment for effective extraction. Using the wrong equipment for the type or extent of water damage can result in inefficient extraction, leaving moisture behind. This mistake can prolong drying and increase the risk of secondary damage, like microbial growth or structural weakening. Also, using equipment with too much power or the wrong attachments can damage delicate surfaces like hardwood floors, drywall, or upholstery. Identifying which equipment is appropriate for various types of water damage necessitates technical proficiency, a skillset SERVPRO technicians possess. This expertise entails comprehending the functionalities of diverse extraction tools and their interactions with multiple materials.

We Mitigate Damage Caused by Water Leaks

Washing clothes or dishes is something residents in Vernon do regularly. Either of these necessary activities can leave your home with water damage if a water line comes loose, a machine overflows, or a clogged area forms within a drain. SERVPRO® is always nearby with the equipment and trained technicians your property needs.

What SERVPRO Does When a Home Has Water Damage in Vernon

We want to make everything inside your home "Like it never even happened." The sooner you call after an accident, the sooner we can start the processes that save your property. Our technicians are knowledgeable about restoration and will:

• Extract standing water – this includes our large pump truck, which also helps power our smaller units,
• Set up and run air movers and other drying equipment – desiccant machines pull moisture from the air after evaporation happens, and
• The final phases – rebuilding of damaged structures, deodorization, cleaning up.

Smaller water extraction machines include our InjectiDry system and the weighted ride-on unit, which we playfully call The Rover. Wands attached to the InjectDry system can reach under appliances. Our special camera can visualize areas by temperature with its infrared technology. Areas with lower temps than surrounding areas are indicative of dampened materials.

We often attach plastic tubing to our drying machinery to allow for the release of damp air directly outside of your residence. We rely on air movement (ventilation) in combination with removing moisture (desiccation), and heat helps this happen in a controlled manner.

Unfortunately, water can destroy some materials, but SERVPRO can rebuild it for you.

Whenever we can clean or otherwise restore something, we choose that option. After water sits for a while, it can create a musty, tell-tale scent. We use proven methods to rid your home of this odor. We clean away any residue on surfaces, so you won't have to do this.

No emergency is too large. We can scale our services to your needs. For water damage and other disasters, call SERVPRO of Stafford Springs. We are Here to Help® and always Faster to any size disaster™. (860) 684-0447
