Whenever a significant amount of water is released into your property, water removal becomes the main focus as you try to restore normalcy. An incident can also tell you things you have yet to notice about your property, like whether your maintenance routines are as thorough or timely as you imagine or whether some of the fixtures in your premises may be approaching the end of their lifecycle. Your water removal plan should include a thorough evaluation to identify the water's origins and spread patterns if you hope for a great outcome. The extra information gained eases water damage restoration at your Rock Hill property.

How Water Damage Evolves into a Story about Your Rock Hill Property

Some water intrusions are accidental and only require immediate removal to restore normal conditions. However, other cases are precipitated by unaddressed or improperly managed factors. For example, neglected gutters and downspouts may clog from accumulating dirt, thus failing to direct rainwater away from your property. Improper landscape grading and drainage around your property is also a recipe for chaos since water pools around the foundation. In such cases, water damage is a symptom of poor property maintenance, and water removal alone is not the solution. AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte provides solutions for the intruding water and finds ways to eliminate the root cause.

Other Things Flooding May Reveal 

External breaches only form a small percentage of the ways water gains entry into properties. Internal sources are more common and may release significant water volumes, quickly wetting vast areas of your premises. Limited moisture released over an extended period is also destructive, especially when hidden within walls or ceilings. Unlike weather-related external water sources, internal leaks originate from plumbing systems or appliances you use daily, making you more likely to experience such an incident. As we plan for water removal at your premises, our AdvantaClean professionals use the opportunity to find out whether you have a case of poor maintenance, aged materials, or construction mistakes.

Common Places Water Removal is Needed

HVAC System Issues - air conditioners may develop leaks 

Appliance Failures - hoses and pipes in water heaters, refrigerators, and dishwashers loosen or break

Leaking and Overflowing Toilets - blockage and faulty mechanisms release water from toilet cisterns

Condensation - poor ventilation causes condensation on walls, windows, and ceilings 

Each source influences the water removal approaches you can take. Leaks, especially from plumbing systems or faulty appliances, involve significant water volumes, thus requiring fast extraction. AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte has a wide range of water extraction equipment, including small portable units for small spaces and larger units with a higher vacuum lift for expansive areas or carpeted floors.

Determining the Fate of Your Property after Water Damage

Even when there are no underlying problems to fix during water removal, you must consider what happens to your property after the incident. One water intrusion incident can be the starting point for long-term problems that diminish comfort, aesthetic appeal, and other things you love about your home or office. 

Problems That May Become Part of Your Premises Narrative

  • Wall and ceiling discoloration

  • Structural rot

  • Unpleasant odors

  • Stuck windows and doors

AdvantaClean professionals carefully manage speed and thoroughness during water removal to ensure problems do not linger after water intrusion. Wood swells as it absorbs moisture, leading to swelling and microbial growth. Therefore, delaying extraction increases the chances of buckling floorboards or warped trim, causing stuck doors and windows. AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte teams use several water removal procedures to ensure thoroughness. We have specialized equipment like drying mats, which remove water trapped beneath floorboards or tiles. We can also set up drying chambers, which enhance drying by allowing us to direct dry air over a specific section. Removing all traces of excess moisture prevents odors and physical material changes.

Proper water removal can help you identify and resolve many physical problems at your premises. AdvantaClean of York County and South Charlotte helps with the evaluation and execution of the necessary removal procedures. Call (803) 325-2100.
