Drying Wet Walls Due to Storm Flood Damage in Farmington

There are many problems to solve for those who suffer storm flood damage, but one of the most vexing is how to dry wet walls and restore them wet to their previous condition.

Doing this takes specialized expertise, and the SERVPRO professionals who deal with storm flood damage in Farmington have what it takes. They offer a unique combination of equipment, knowledge, and precise procedures to dry your wet walls, and the process starts with pretesting. Cleaning a wet wall is trickier than dealing with a dry one, mainly because wet walls are easier to damage, so a thorough assessment is essential.

The first major physical step is to move the furniture, then remove the wall hangings. SERVPRO techs use plastic drop cloths to protect these household items, and if the walls are especially soiled, the techs take specific steps to eliminate the dirt. This process clears the work area, which allows SERVPRO techs to apply the cleaning solution then. During this process, we clean the walls in sections and then apply rinse solutions. We use the same attention to detail to apply the rinse solution.

Next, our techs remove the cleaning solution. After the rinse solution is applied, the process starts again to dry the walls; baseboards, door jambs, and trim moldings get special attention because of the level of details involved in cleaning them.

After completing the water damage restoration job, we re-hang your pictures to the wall. Our technicians remove the drop cloths\ from the furniture, which is then carefully put back in place as well. If there is enough damage to warrant the removal of any of these items, SERVPRO techs can safely move them. 

To get this kind of expertise applied to your storm flood damage situation, call SERVPRO of the Farmington Valley at (860) 675-4500, night or day, and get your wet walls cleaned and dried quickly and thoroughly.
