SERVPRO Water Mitigation Methods Can Reduce the Expense of a Claim in Vermilion County

All water supplies contain microbes. This fact includes wastewater supply pipes, clean water drinking taps, and appliance fittings in your home. A malfunction at any part of these supply networks can lead to water intruding into the home environment, where it begins to cause damage. Water can affect your home in many ways, including through vapor damage- which is a result of heightened humidity- or liquid water. As time passes, the naturally occurring microbes in water can begin to reproduce, causing deterioration of water quality and potentially complicating the cleanup procedure. Water cleanup can help to prevent:

• Microbial damage
• Stagnation of water
• Water damage to a home or structure

When we talk about water mitigation for Vermilion County residents, we primarily discuss reducing damages caused by water intrusion. An example of this mitigation could be as simple as stemming the water flow through the property using a physical barrier or removing belongings from the immediately affected area. Professional mitigation can also extend to more complex solutions like silica-based dehumidifiers to capture water vapor in the indoor environment or dry out structural cavities where water may have spread. 

• Our technicians have training in applied cavity drying techniques and assessment. 
• We can reduce damages to electronics and the building assembly by controlling atmospheric conditions such as the dew point. 
• Industrial drying equipment such as silica-based, desiccant dehumidifiers can be mobilized quickly to reduce losses in your home. 

It is vital to respond quickly to water intrusion in your home. Contact SERVPRO of Vermilion County for water mitigation technicians at 217-443-0077.
