Establishing Drying Zones to Manage Flooding in Newark Homes

10/6/2019 (Permalink)

Let SERVPRO manage your Newark flooding damage in your home.

We know just what to do when it comes to your Newark flood.

Open-air drying practices are a challenging system to obtain the efficiency and effectiveness necessary to quickly restore flooded Newark homes. Our professionals have accreditations through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in every facet of the water recovery niche to provide knowledgeable and confident service to our customers in a crisis. Part of this effective response and high-caliber result involves efficient drying practices like establishing controllable zones.

Drying zones are an effective means of addressing multiple layers of flood damage to Newark homes. From air contamination and extraction to drying and deodorization, designated work areas help to streamline our efforts to save our customers time and money. Setting up this area involves the installation of our 6mil plastic sheeting around the entire work area. This effort sections off the affected region from the rest of the house, reducing the spread of contaminants and the migration of water effects.

These new quarantined areas allow our SERVPRO technicians to influence the airflow and filtration directly. We can force contaminated or hazardous air out through exhaust lines to the outside of the house and begin drying efforts on saturated elements within the containment barriers. Because we can regulate the spread of these effects throughout the house, we can ensure that our drying practices, which include the use of drying mats and air movers, are more efficient and effective.

If flooding stays localized to specific areas of your home, these same drying zones can help to ensure that you do not get displaced by this disaster. We can work to minimize our impact on your life by establishing these work areas and allowing you to stay on the property when possible.

Containment is a large part of the work that we do, as this practice alone can reduce worsening conditions, prolonged recovery efforts, and costly additional restoration. Drying zones provide both containment and an efficient area for more rapid drying and decontamination efforts.
