Landlords Rely on Our Water Mitigation Experts

Accidents are more likely to happen when you own a multi-family house in Smithtown. Duplexes contain twice as many sinks, tubs, and toilets, and fourplexes have twice that. These additional units might not have any problems originating inside, making water mitigation crucial to their protection.

SERVPRO keeps water from spreading from one unit in a property to another tenant's living space in Smithtown by using water mitigation techniques. Our tested methods preserve your rental property and tenants' belongings, reducing disputes and claims.

In addition to stopping the water coming in at its source, to ensure that the spread slows to a halt, we also do the following:

  • Begin removing and extracting water
  • Remove bulky materials that retain large volumes of water
  • Aggressively start drying out your structure

Depending on where the water is pouring out and how deep the water is on the floor, we begin removing the water with our pump truck using either submersible or small-sized units. These hand-held ones can reach into spaces behind appliances, under beds, inside wall cavities, and much more. Floors and walls are often the hardest to dry because water gets trapped under the different layers making up these structures. Our InjectiDry system uses air, suction, and heat to dry these areas quickly.

An area rug is not the only thing that soaks up water. Furniture with fabric covers and paper-based materials like books and magazines can absorb water. We get these items outside the property and remove the water left behind.

Steady and robust air currents help direct water vapor outdoors, but we also want to introduce extra warmth to increase evaporation rates. Room temperature, especially over the winter months, is not ideal and cannot help us achieve our immediate goals. Our General Contractor License number is 51995-H, so you can rely on us for any required rebuilding.
