The 411 On The Water Restoration Process In Belle Meade (Pay Attention To Step 3!)

1/24/2022 (Permalink)

Winter weather is no joke, and if you’ve lived in Music City for a while, you know that we get a generous amount of rain, storms, and tornadoes. With this comes frequent flooding leading to many other issues, including mold and odors. Luckily, our experienced team at SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville has the training to help your Belle Meade home or business recover from water damage. Below, we have listed what to do immediately after flooding while you are waiting for us and the water restoration process as a whole. 

What Should You Do Soon After Water Damage In Your Belle Meade Home Or Business?

  • Mopping and blotting help remove excess water, a practical DIY method to utilize while waiting for the professionals. 
  • Remove loose items from the floor and prop wet cushions and upholstery. 
  • Art objects and other precious items should be moved to a safe, dry place. 
  • Place aluminum foil or wood blocks in between furniture legs and wet carpets. 
  • Colored rugs should be separated from soaked carpets. 

What Is The Step-By-Step Water Restoration Process In Belle Meade? 

  • Contacting us is the first step on the road to restoration! Our representative will ask you a series of questions to help us understand the damage better. 
  • This step is followed by an inspection and water damage assessment around your Belle Meade property, so we know the extent of the damage and what resources are needed to carry out restoration to the end. 
  • This third step is crucial: the water removal and extraction process! You could say it’s the nitty-gritty behind water restoration! We use powerful vacuum units and pumps to remove hundreds of thousands of gallons of water, preventing further damage and mold growth. 
  • It isn’t enough to remove water; the affected areas have to be dry also! Our professionals use room measurements, relative humidity, and temperature to determine the ideal number of dehumidifiers and air movers to dry your Belle Meade home or business. 
  • Before restoration can happen, cleaning and sanitizing your property is essential to rid your vicinity of unpleasant odors. We use a number of sanitation techniques to deodorize your home or business, including disinfectant and antimicrobial treatments. 
  • This is when restoration occurs: this can include minor repairs such as installing new carpet and replacing drywall or major repairs like full reconstruction of your Belle Meade home or business. 

We take several precautions during the water damage process, including documenting the drying process to validate that your property has been accounted for thoroughly. We are locally owned with national resources that we can call on at any given moment. We are faster to any size disaster because we know time is of the essence in the event of a natural disaster. Call us at (615) 242-9391, and we’ll be on the scene in minutes. This franchise is independently owned and operated.
