The weekend trip was fun, but you are glad to get back to your home in Mississauga until you walk into your kitchen.

What Can the Water Damage Experts from SERVPRO Do to Help?
Our team of skilled workers is highly trained to deal with unexpected leaks that cause water damage to Mississauga homes. Several steps to dealing with such situations are listed below
- Inspection
- Water Removal
- Drying and Dehumidification
- Cleaning
- Restoration
Why Inspect the Damaged Area?
Inspection of the area that the water has flooded is necessary to determine how much damage has been done and to determine the type of equipment that would be best to use. There are several pieces of equipment that our company uses to remove water. Some of these are:
- Extraction Units – These can be portable or mounted to one of our trucks.
- Pumps – These range in sizes and which type is used is based on how much water there is and if there is any possibility of solids mixed with the water.
What About Water That Has Soaked into the Walls and Cabinets?
Our technicians will determine what is the best piece of equipment to use to dry the structures in the damaged area. To cover larger spaces that are affected by water, the Axial Air Movers are a good choice. However, there are many pieces of drying equipment that our technicians use. The injecti-dry equipment can force warm air using positive air pressure into the wall cavities to enhance the evaporation rate of wet drywall material and studs.
Cleaning and Restoration, The Final Steps.
Once the water removal and drying process are complete, our lead restoration technician or project manager can walk you through the affected structure to ensure your satisfaction with our efforts.
