Tools and Techniques for Post-Storm Flood Damage

Sudden basement flooding can be a daunting challenge, but at AdvantaClean of Marietta, we specialize in restoring your home and contents to pre-flood condition quickly and efficiently. Our team uses cutting-edge tools and machinery for professional flood restoration, ensuring your basement is thoroughly dried.

The Role of Industrial-Grade Wet/Dry Vacuums

Industrial-grade wet/dry vacuums are essential for initial water removal. Unlike standard household vacuums, these machines are powerful enough to handle large volumes of water. They can extract water from carpets, floors, and hard-to-reach areas, significantly reducing the risk of mold growth and structural damage. Our Water Restoration Technicians (WRT) are trained to use these vacuums effectively, ensuring your basement is cleared of standing water as quickly as possible.

How Submersible Pumps Aid in Water Extraction

Submersible pumps are used for more severe flooding. These pumps are designed to work underwater, making them perfect for extracting water from flooded basements. They operate submerged in water, continuously pumping water until the area is dry. This equipment is crucial for preventing prolonged water exposure, which can lead to severe structural damage and mold growth.

Importance of High-Capacity Dehumidifiers

Once the standing water is removed, high-capacity dehumidifiers reduce humidity levels in the basement. These machines are far more effective than household dehumidifiers, as they can extract large amounts of moisture from the air and surrounding materials. Lowering the humidity prevents mold spores from germinating and spreading, ensuring a healthier environment for your family.

Utilizing Moisture Meters for Accurate Assessment

Moisture meters are essential tools in our flood restoration process. These devices measure the moisture content in wood, drywall, and concrete. By using moisture meters, our technicians can identify areas that are still damp and require further drying. This precise assessment helps us target our efforts, ensuring no hidden pockets of moisture remain that could cause future problems.

The Power of Thermal Imaging Cameras

Thermal imaging cameras are another advanced tool we use to detect hidden moisture. These cameras use infrared technology to visualize temperature differences in materials, highlighting areas where water may still be present. This non-invasive method allows us to identify moisture behind walls, under floors, and in other hard-to-reach places without causing additional damage to your home. We ensure a thorough and effective restoration by detecting and addressing hidden moisture.

Why the Use of Professional Equipment is Crucial

Using professional-grade equipment is essential for thorough and efficient flood restoration. Our professional devices and machines are designed to handle the severity and complexity of storm-related flooding, something standard household equipment cannot achieve. Professional equipment allows us to complete the job more quickly, minimizing the disruption to your life and preventing further damage to your home.
