SERVPRO's Water Restoration Process for Brooklyn Residents Always Includes Careful, Efficient Water Mitigation

Burst pipes or flooding are not the time to try DIY water clean-up methods. Doing so could leave you with a world of issues within your Brooklyn property, including secondary damage and the development of potentially harmful mold and mildew. No matter the water emergency you are facing, detailed water mitigation is the only way to ensure you get the best results. SERVPRO mitigates water damage and works using proven methods that save on time, money, and materials. Give our office a quick call 24/7, and we can send out a crew as soon as possible.

No matter the project's scope, immediate water mitigation in Brooklyn ensures your property gets back to normal as quickly as possible while controlling further damage. Standing water can be detrimental to many surfaces and materials, even if classified as clean water. Did you know that clean water turns into a gray water situation (Category 2) within 48 hours? When called for water mitigation and water removal services, our IICRC-certified technicians have all of the training to deal with each of the three water categories, including:

• Category 1 – known as clean water, which is free of contaminants
• Category 2 – known as gray water, which may contain chemical or biological contamination
• Category 3 – known as black water, which holds harmful viruses and bacteria

During the mitigation and restoration process, we often use truck pumps for mass amounts of water and portable pumps for any contained flooding. Our technicians may apply EPA-registered spray disinfectant to any surfaces and standing water in a gray water situation. Many items may need to get disposed of during a black water event if decontamination is not possible. Our crew always wears the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as we work through the project.
