Remediation efforts are focused on salvaging materials and contents.

When your Federal Way commercial building faces issues like a burst pipe, ceiling leak, or sewer backup, it can be overwhelming to hear various terms related to recovery – water mitigation, water damage remediation, and water damage restoration. Each term plays a specific role in the cleanup and repair process, but water mitigation holds a pivotal position as the foundation for these tasks. At SERVPRO®, we understand the critical role of water mitigation in safeguarding your business, and we are here to explain why it's a crucial step in the recovery process.

The Importance of Water Damage Mitigation

1. Preventing Further Damage: Water damage mitigation is the immediate response to stop the spread of water damage and eliminate existing water intrusion. Quick action is essential to safeguard your business from additional harm.

   • Why Choose SERVPRO: Our IICRC-certified professionals are trained to execute water mitigation promptly and effectively, minimizing the extent of damage and reducing repair costs.

Steps Involved in Water Damage Mitigation

During water damage mitigation for Federal Way businesses, our team takes several critical steps tailored to the situation:

1. Shutting Off Water Supply: We shut off the main or secondary water supply to halt the flow of water from sources like ruptured water heaters or malfunctioning dishwasher pumps.

2. Drainage: We drain overflowing tubs or sinks to prevent further water intrusion.

3. Water Extraction: Our experts use lightweight wands attached to an extractor to prevent water migration in wall-to-wall carpeting. We also pump water from confined areas deeper than two inches.

4. Advanced Techniques: SERVPRO employs advanced water removal techniques, such as floor mats and Injectidry-type solutions, to extract moisture from various floor layers or building cavities.

5. Structural Drying: We implement applied structural drying methods, including air movement, temperature control, and dehumidifiers, to ensure thorough drying of the affected areas.
