How Our SERVPRO Team Handles Water Disasters in Hicksville Homes

The last thing you want is added stress that water damage can put on your family. It is important to you that your household is a safe, clean environment that you can enjoy with your loved ones. Because of this, you should never take water infiltration lightly. Calling in our skilled technicians at SERVPRO gets you the results you need so that you can enjoy your daily activities.

Water damage in Hicksville can harm your flooring, carpets, and the subfloor that lies beneath. Rapid response is critical, so you need professionals on your side with tried and true methods for water removal and restoration.

SERVPRO provides a wide range of services to address water cleanup within your home. We have trained water damage restoration technicians (WRT) who have been certified by standards set forth with the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC.) We can get in quickly to assess the level of water damage and get to work to dry out your carpeting and the subfloor below. 

During a water loss incident, your carpets can lose adhesive strength once moisture penetrates the vapor barrier — the longer that you wait, the worse that the damage gets. Any long-term water contact facilitates permanent delamination of the fibers from the backing. The pad, if present, may or may not be salvageable. Often, it is more economical to remove the padding and replace it once the subfloor and carpet have been dried. SERVPRO technicians use the “float a carpet” method to dry it in place, without full removal. This entails freeing the edges from the tack strips and placing air movers, gently forcing warm air to increase the evaporation rate. The carpet appears to “float.”

Why Call SERVPRO?

We send in a crew to start the drying process by putting measures in place to remove all of the standing water from your floor. We bring in pumps and wet vacuums, then start setting up dehumidifiers and air movers to create the optimum environment for faster drying. 

Before wrapping up the restoration project, we use moisture sensor technology to locate any hidden moisture that could be lurking in your subfloors. The result is clean and dry flooring that is safe for you and your family to enjoy once again. 

Never let water damage in your home turn into a stressful and potentially hazardous situation. SERVPRO of Hicksville/Plainview is here to help! Give us a call at (516) 733-1800, and we will make it “Like it never even happened.”
