A SERVPRO Restoration Technician in San Antonio Can Organize Water Damage Removal Correctly and Efficiently

Water intrusion can severely reduce the value of your property. A slow leak, drainage issue, or sewer backup quickly compromises dry areas of your home. Sometimes water intrusion can carry with it biohazardous substances like pathogens or raw sewage. It is vital to avoid contact with the contaminants in these situations until a qualified professional reaches the property. We can help with:

• Water removal services
• Water damage repairs
• Cleaning up after sewer backup

A qualified practitioner for water damage removal in San Antonio can significantly reduce the long-term harm caused by water intrusion. The critical part of mitigation is removing standing water from the property. Usually, standing water is removed using high-powered equipment such as wet-dry vacuums, extractors, and pumps. Once the standing water is removed, the next step involves decontamination of the affected area to help prevent longer-term damages.

• Safety equipment for dealing with biohazardous substances include chemical-resistant gloves, respirators with at least n-94 grade filters, and vigilance toward any cuts or open wounds received on site.
• Specially designed pumps can pass solid waste when draining the property, separating them from water, and storing them in separate tanks.
• Disposal of wastewater may be possible at an open sewer point. In the case of backup, wastewater can be transported away from the property in 100+ gallon trucks.
