Water Removal in Coral Gables

Removing standing water is critical after a flooding event. Call SERVPRO quickly to remediate.

SERVPRO Has the Experience and Recognizes the Urgency to Deal Quickly with Your Water Damage Event

Water damage from poor drainage, damaged plumbing, or a thunderstorm can ruin a home, forcing the owner to spend thousands on repairs. In the spring, Florida weather can change suddenly from clear to rain. Owners and renters must be prepared to protect their residences and evacuate quickly when that is no longer an option. 

Regardless of the source of the damage, water removal needs to happen rapidly. SERVPRO has the experience of restoring water damage homes in Coral Gables homes as soon as possible and returning residents quickly to their regular lives. We can pump out standing water for most homes and dry out the interior in just a few days. 

Our office maintains a 24-hour response team trained in removing water and dealing with other disasters. Since damage can begin in a day, our first task is to pump out areas of standing water just as soon as we can set up the equipment. We keep an extensive inventory on-site of water pumps designed for every size and type of residence. We also maintain a series of generators and generator trucks to ensure continuous power if a home's electrical system was compromised or a storm knocked out local power.

Removing standing water is just the beginning. Our technicians next lower excessive levels of humidity. To do this, they set up air movers within the home and exhaust fans at entry and exit points (doors and windows). These machines draw out damp air and replace it with drier air. We also use dehumidifiers to speed up this process and remove moisture from the surrounding air. Each can pull over 20 gallons of water each day, depending on the size. 

This same equipment is also helpful to remove water from carpets, carpet padding, and wood flooring. By teaming the air movers and fans with specialized water vacuums and heaters, our response team can save most flooring with no damage to the surface. Removing flood water (regardless of the source) requires a trained team of restoration experts and commercial-grade equipment.
