Demolition Can Be Part of Naples Water Damage Restoration

SERVPRO Uses Various Strategies to Improve Outcomes for Water Damage in Naples
Regardless of the source of water damage, Naples residents experience shock at the extent and intensity of destruction caused by a burst pipe or leaking roof from storms. After a sewer backup or other water damage repairs, cleaning up already causes significant disruption. Still, homeowners often find restoration professionals suggesting what seems like more chaos to resolve the water disaster.
What Role Does Controlled Demolition Have in Water Damage Restoration?
SERVPRO considers the removal of both compromised and even structurally sound building materials as part of a successful Naples water mitigation and remediation plan. The purpose is not to add to the turmoil but instead to clear the way for more effective water removal and structural drying solutions. Demolition strategies -- methods and reasons -- include:
- Punching weep holes in ceilings to release trapped water deliberately and carefully
- Drilling openings at baseboard level to drain fluids in building cavities, preventing progressive deterioration, and permitting airflow to accelerate drying
- Sawing and removing drywall several inches above the water damage saturation level to get rid of unrestorable materials and open the wet, previously enclosed spaces to facilitate applied structural drying
