Water Removal Technicians In Oakland Talk About Mold Prevention Methods

Whenever water enters a structure located near Oakland, many adverse effects can occur. First, excessive moisture can make a mess that only a professional water removal company such as SERVPRO can clean up. Unwanted liquids can also soak into your contents and building materials causing them to lose their structural integrity. Wherever there are moisture and organic substances like paper or wood, mold growth can occur. However, if prompt water removal on your property takes place, then the chances of secondary damage like the existence of fungi become less likely to happen.  

Mold development is always a possibility any time you have a water leak into your home, which is why our SERVPRO team always provides fast, 24/7 service to help you with your water removal situation in Oakland. We are located nearby and have people answering our phones at all times of the day. As soon as we receive your emergency damage phone call, we immediately dispatch the best professionals for your specific situation. As soon as we arrive at your residence, we get work authorization from you the homeowner, and then we start to assess the severity and extent of your moisture-related problems.  

Once we determine what we are dealing with, we then make sure your house is safe for our workers and any other occupants including you and your family. We fix any hazards that could pose a threat to someone's safety. For example, we can mitigate slip and fall issues and check to see if any electrical shorts exist.  

Once the work area is deemed safe by our IICRC certified and highly trained team, we begin removing moisture from your building as quickly as we can so that fungi cannot form. To do this, we first vacuum up all of the water we can while it is in liquid form. Next, we use dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air and lower the indoor relative humidity percentage. If you ever need water removed from your structure, call SERVPRO of San Leandro at (510) 352-2480 24 hours a day.
