Main Focus Areas for Water Restoration Efforts

Smithtown, NY, is a fascinating place on the North Shore of Long Island. Its rich history starts with the legend of its naming when allegedly Richard Smith was awarded all the land he could encircle in one day riding a bull. Some historical establishments like the Frank Brush Barn, Caleb Smith House, and Roseneath Cottage provide a glimpse of the town’s history. The town has educational institutions under the Smithtown Central School District, including Smithtown West High School, Accompsett Elementary School, and Nesaquake Middle School. Businesses include shops and restaurants like Stop & Shop Florist, Lacrosse Unlimited of Smithtown, La Famiglia, and Timboo.

Water damage at your Smithtown home may force you to undertake different procedures to restore preloss conditions. Cleaning is one such procedure that helps remove soils, stains, and microbial growth triggered by moisture invasion. Cleaning procedures differ significantly depending on the amount of water involved and whether the source is clean or not. SERVPRO® offers comprehensive cleanup services to address any outcome you may be facing.

Common cleaning scenarios

• Water removal
• Cleaning and disinfecting
• Mold removal

When the water originates from a clean supply pipe, and the response to the incident is fast enough, cleanup may only involve removing the intruding water. Our crews use water extractors, dry/wet vacuums, water claws, and other specialized equipment for thorough water removal. When a contaminated source is involved, or the water remains in the building for several days, cleaning requires some decontamination, so our technicians mix disinfectants with cleaning solutions or mist them over surfaces after cleaning.

Specific areas requiring cleaning after water damage

• Carpeted areas and upholstery
• HVAC system
• Crawl spaces or basements

Carpets absorb and hold moisture just like upholstery items, which can be the genesis of many problems, including dye bleeding and staining. Moisture might also find a way into the HVAC ducts, where mold can proliferate. SERVPRO technicians can use convenient methods such as hot water extraction when cleaning up your upholstery and carpets. We also inspect your HVAC system, changing filters and vacuuming ducts to remove any moldy materials.
