"I Love Tallahassee" and the Water Loss Restoration Services of SERVPRO

Depend on SERVPRO for Every Aspect of Your North Leon County Water Removal Needs

Water is a necessity of life. We drink it, cook with it, wash with it, cool with it, and clean with it. Throughout every home and commercial property, it is available readily, directly plumbed into faucets, sinks, appliances, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and more. When the pipes, fittings, and hoses containing and directing this essential flow of fluid become corroded, loose, or cracked water can invade a property in large quantities and with considerable force. Removing the water fast is essential as it is incredibly destructive to building materials and contents.

In the Florida panhandle water also falls from the sky as rain, sometimes as a gentle sprinkle and other times as a fierce storm. Rapid and complete water removal in a property after heavy precipitation causes an intrusion through a roof leak, or overland flash flooding is just as crucial as when a plumbing or appliance fail fills a home with moisture. Partnering with our reliable team of water damage experts can prevent the ruin of a business or loss of a home.

Property owners get the best water removal results when the team from SERVPRO of North Leon County is on the scene. Customers can reach us 24/7 because we know how critical fast evacuation of water is to a successful restoration. Managing a water event requires skilled technicians, high-efficiency equipment, and a remediation company that puts the customer’s needs first and foremost. We are proud to meet all of these requirements for every project, large or small.

When SERVPRO arrives, a seasoned crew leader assesses the water damage, devises a plan, and gets the crew to work. If areas of your property need to be secured with tarps or boards, we are on that part of the job first. Fully stocked service vehicles then support our ability to respond to water removal fast. Onboard each signature green truck are pumps and water extractors that can take on with ease even a significant commercial water event. If the electricity on your property is unavailable temporarily because of a storm or other safety concern our gas-powered pumps and truck-mounted and generated extractors prevent any delay.

SERVPRO prioritizes advanced and continuing IICRC training for our work crews and managers. The industry-leading knowledge of water removal science and strategy shared with our team through this coursework is second to none. Our commitment to supporting our technicians with both this targeted training and the on-the-job opportunity for hands-on experience with master water mitigation personnel means we handle your job in the most efficient, professional, and safe manner possible.

Learning how to evaluate the three categories of water from clean, to gray, to black is vital to ensuring we respond appropriately to contaminants found in the waters threatening your home or business. Water removal procedures vary depending upon the category, with clean water simply requiring evacuation into sewer systems. The increasing contamination with gray and black waters might include the need to contain and dispose of the water as hazardous waste. SERVPRO is familiar with the rules and regulations about contaminated water in all of the communities we serve near the capital city region. This ensures both yours and public safety when we respond to your water loss.  

One aspect of water removal the average home or business owner might not consider until it happens is the need for it after suffering a fire. Firefighters use copious quantities of water as they extinguish a blaze. Getting the water out of the structure is necessary before the SERVPRO team can move on to soot cleanup, charring management, deodorization, and a host of other tasks. Because the water is by definition contaminated after a fire, the expertise of our trained crews is the key to your health and well-being. Other restoration tasks can commence safely once we address the slip and fall and electric shock potential at the scene.

The speed with which the SERVPRO responds to any Florida water removal situation is the foundation of our success. Water damage is immediate for some porous materials and progresses swiftly the longer the moisture remains. Some materials such as insulation and carpet padding might need replacement regardless of how quickly we respond. Other items are salvageable if water is extracted and drying goals are met. It is imperative that moisture levels decrease to normal within 24 to 48 hours to avoid the risk of mold growth.

Do-it-yourself water removal in the Tallahassee area is not recommended. The tools a home or business owner possesses rarely have the capacity of our industrial strength equipment. Even if a commercial building has a regular in-house or contracted cleaning crew, hiring our Tallahassee water damage restoration experts is the most time and cost effective method of mitigating water losses because we specialize in water disaster restoration.

Challenges that only a dedicated water removal team can conquer reliably include finding and extracting hidden caches of water. Our water damage techs use thermal imaging and moisture probes and other sensitive tools to locate water under floors, behind walls, and in other cavities. Specially designed equipment like floor drying mats and wall access drying options like the Injectidry system help pull moisture from spaces otherwise difficult to reach.

SERVPRO technicians are skilled in moisture measurement and monitoring, fundamental concepts to completing water removal in your home or business in northern Florida. Moisture can linger in building materials long after standing water is just a memory. Our crews use a combination of air movement, heat, and dehumidification to dry out the structural components of your property. We check on moisture levels throughout the project to make sure we hit the goal for each kind of material. The green fleet has heated air movers and both desiccant and evaporative dehumidifiers on each truck to accelerate the process.

Working seamlessly through the steps needed for water removal is our mission and delivering your property back after a water loss “Like it never even happened.” is our goal. Contact SERVPRO of North Leon County at (850) 536-6599 for expert assistance with any size water loss.
