Cleaning up water damage

SERVPRO of Leavenworth and NW Wyandotte County has seen all kinds of water damage in almost every residential and commercial space you can imagine. And all homes and properties can present unique challenges when it comes to extracting water and drying. These 4 spaces are the most problematic, and here's why.

1. Duct systems: Some duct systems are made of fragile, porous materials making it difficult to dry.
2. Attics: They are hard to get equipment into, tend to have electrical hazards, and may require removing insulation.
3. Basements: Can be unfinished with lots of porous materials that would need disposing of in Category 2 or 3 water.
4. Crawl Space: They are hard to get equipment into and low temperatures require supplemental heat to warm the space and keep the equipment safe.
