SERVPRO Properly Tackles Water Damage in Knoxville

Water is important, but it at times turns into a destructive natural force that causes mayhem to homeowners. Water can damage your house in multiple ways, including causing wood floors to cup or warp, discoloring beautifully painted walls, or leading to mold growth. 

If left unattended for long, water can compromise the structural integrity of your building’s foundation. Water damage in Knoxville homes should not cause sleepless nights to the residents, for SERVPRO has a team of professional water damage restorers who are always available to perform swift, effective, and cost-effective restoration processes. Our repair process includes these steps:

• Damage assessment
• Water removal
• Drying and dehumidification
• Cleaning, sanitizing, and odor removal
• Reconstruction
  

Damage Assessment

When we get to the site of the damage, our SERVPRO team identifies the water source causing the damage. Water can create hazards, particularly in areas with electrical panels. We know which damages and risks to look for and assess the situation to develop a strategy for removing water and repairing the damage.  

Water Removal 

Our SERVPRO water damage restoration technicians can use the electric submersible pump to extract the water. This pump eliminates suction lift limitations while offering a quiet and continuous operation to remove about 100 to 18,000 gallons of water per hour.

Drying and Dehumidification

This phase is essential for protecting your residence because it eliminates moisture that can cause bacterial growth and mold infestation. We can use centrifugal air movers and dehumidifiers to dry your home. Dehumidifiers emit hot air that is suitable for drying hard-to-dry areas. 

Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Odor Removal

After drying your residence, our team can clean, disinfect and deodorize the floors, walls, and personal items. We can use safe and eco-friendly cleaners and disinfectants on all affected items. 

Reconstruction

For severely damaged building materials, our SERVPRO team offers reconstruction. This phase may involve repairing or replacing damaged drywall, installing a new carpet, and installing new plumbing or cabinets.
