How Professionals Deal With Water Damage
ServiceMaster by Wright is a water removal company that can dispatch a technician to a residence at any time of day. In fact, a professional can come over at any time of year to provide homeowners with the instant help they require.
Our professional process includes:
Inspection and Assessment
- When water technicians come over to a home that has flooding in it, they may ask some detailed questions about the situation.
- Questions are meant to give the professional a better idea of how to proceed in terms of water extraction.
Water Extraction
- Company vehicles are fully equipped with water extraction tools that are necessary in order to get rid of the water.
- Although the water extraction process takes some time, specialists are meticulous in their work. Before proceeding to the next stage, they ensure that all of the water has been adequately removed.
Structural Drying, Dehumidification and Content Cleaning & Restoration
- Once the water extraction process has been finished, professionals move on to the next step, which is to dry out wet floors.
- People may only think of hardwood or tile floors that need to be dried when they think about floors. However, the reality is that many homes have carpets and rugs that have a proclivity for absorbing water fast.
- As a result, it's critical to dry wet floors, rugs, and carpets as soon as possible. In order to dry out wet floors and other items in a home, fans and air circulation may be used.
- Moisture in the air can have an impact on books, woodwork, and art. Mold can easily grow even after all of the water has been removed from a structure. As a result, our professionals work hard to ensure enough air circulation and dry up damp floors.
Although flooding within a home can be a big headache for many homeowners, there is no need to despair. Water damage restoration services provided by ServiceMaster by Wright give homeowners peace of mind.
Furthermore, professionals provide excellent cleaning that can prevent mold from appearing and causing terrible problems. When in need of a water removal company that does each job correctly, trust ServiceMaster by Wright.
Our Response to Condominium Water Damage in Fort Myers, Florida

- The rooms affected in the condo where the pipe burst were the foyer, living room, two bedrooms, den, kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry room, two closets and the hallway.
- The other four condo units had some or all of the same rooms affected. Some of the other four condo units were affected worse than others.
2. Professional Response
- ServiceMaster dispatched a crew right away and extracted the water from the five affected condo units.
- There was no power to the five condo units and ServiceMaster set up their own gas-powered generator in order to run the equipment needed to dry out the five units.
- In order to dry out the five affected condo units, ServiceMaster set up dehumidifiers and air movers in each of the affected condos.
- The flooring in the five condo units was both tile and carpet. The carpet padding was removed and disposed of; once the units were dry, the carpet padding was replaced and the carpet reattached.
- ServiceMaster removed some of the baseboard to help with the drying of the drywall and to make sure that mold did not grow behind the baseboards. Once the units were finished drying out, the baseboards were then reattached.
