SERVPRO Focuses on Articulate Utilization of Equipment and Cleaning Products

The damage from water intrusion requires various solutions, including cleanup to address soiling, stains, and moisture. How you execute cleanup at your Newark home has significant ramifications, including the quality of the outcome. Even how you handle simple tasks such as choosing or using cleaning products matters.

During water damage cleanup in Newark homes, crucial considerations include completing the process in time and efficiently utilizing equipment and cleaning products. The rigorous training our SERVPRO crews have, ensures that they can use simple or advanced cleaning processes to deliver your desired outcomes.

Simple actions that may impact water cleanup significantly include:

• Using products at the right temperatures, pH levels and giving them enough dwell time
• Pretesting cleaning agents before using them on fabrics such as carpets and draperies
• Applying only the correct amount of finishing products such as defoamers and deodorizers

Cleaning a property after water intrusion requires a gradual approach that addresses various issues at different stages. For instance, prioritize water extraction before starting other processes to prevent re-soiling and material deterioration. Our SERVPRO IICRC-certified technicians choose extraction equipment based on the amount of water involved or where it is located. 

For most cleaning tasks, we prefer extractors with:

• Vacuum lift
• Heating capacity
• Storage tank

With such equipment, it is possible to combine water extraction with cleaning processes such as hot water extraction, which is essential especially for carpeted surfaces that soil easily and retain water. 

During cleaning, other crucial actions include moving furniture to ensure proper reach of all areas, pretesting high traffic areas, and using spot removal for significantly soiled sections. Spot removal can be performed before or after cleaning, depending on whether the material is stain resistant.
