Quick and Efficient Water Removal Services

Even if you have 24-hour staffed security at your storage facility, unseen water can be filling some of the compartments. This problem may not be noticed until a tenant arrives to deposit or remove articles. An immediate response from an experienced water removal company is crucial to begin the process of restoration when a water buildup is noted.

Water removal is the first step to avoid serious damage within your Manteca storage location. If plumbing leaks or a clogged drainage system from your facility’s roof causes water to collect in storage areas, your customer's’ property is in danger of deterioration and suffering collateral damage like mold growth. We have the specialized equipment and IICRC- certified technicians to make water removal happen fast, and a response time that typically has a crew at your site within hours.

The construction of most storage facilities uses cinder blocks, a choice that poses some challenges when water is seeping or pouring into the structure. Each block has at least a couple of cells that can hold water you cannot see. The materials used to make the blocks, and the mortar that holds the blocks together usually is porous, allowing water to pass into and between the storage units.

SERVPRO water removal specialists learn many efficient procedures that pull water out of the main storage areas and the hidden accesses where water pools and may cause issues in the future. We start with submersible pumps and move to our powerful water extractors after the majority of the water is removed. To release water in the cinder block cells, we look to access from above or drill holes in the bricks or the mortar joints. The water then is suctioned or drains out.

To ensure we have removed all the moisture we use scanners and probes to measure humidity and moisture levels. Air movers and dehumidifiers are positioned to complete the water removal process. In some cases, we use heat to amplify the effect of both the fans and the dehumidifiers.
