SERVPRO Techs Work to Make Water Damaged Lake Stevens Environments Safe and Healthy

Water cleanup needs in Lake Stevens properties are never more crucial than when properties in the healthcare sector receive the effects. Facilities that cater towards the very young and elderly need assistance ensuring that the potential biohazards in floodwater get eradicated, and the building can be a safe environment for patients. 

During commercial flood damage cleanup in Lake Stevens eldercare properties, the technicians give detailed attention to factors that can be unsafe such as:

• Damaged building materials pose the threat of falling 
• Slip and fall hazards
• Contaminated water

Handling Water Damaged Building Materials

The technicians inspect and use equipment to determine where the water wicking begins and ends within the walls or ceilings. This allows the team to make smart choices to remove ruined sheetrock and only take out the minimum amount needed to open the walls and dry within the wall cavities. 

Avoiding Slip and Fall Issues During Water Mitigation Services

It is not practical for most care facilities to close during cleanup. The techs usually put up containment around the worksite along with safety tape to ensure that unauthorized persons do not enter the work area and incur an injury. 

Extraction of Contaminated Water

The potential of groundwater to contain many contaminants, including unhealthy chemicals, toxins, and pathogens. SERVPRO technicians perform testing on the water to determine if anything is in the water requiring treatment. If testing shows anything negative, the techs can treat it with several different types of biocide and fungicide solutions to render the threat inert.
