Water Damage Mitigation in Omaha

When the supply line to the ice-maker sprung a small leak, the resulting water loss is evidenced. The moisture meter held by a SERVPRO of Omaha Northwest technician shows triple "nines" indicating total saturation of the drywall panel. A "flood cut" was done to remove the non-salvageable drywall material and to expose the wall cavity for treatment. Removing moisture from cinder block basement walls takes planning and patience. We check with sensors at the completion of the drying cycle to ensure that no water or moisture is remaining in the hollow cells of the blocks or mortar joints. Then we can spray an antifungal agent to protect against mold infestations. The After Photo depicts how we blocked the bookcase to prevent water from wicking into the piece, the removed baseboards for complete drying of the carpet edges, and the neat and clean area ready for our customer's contractor to rebuild the wall.
