Water Damage Bridgton Naples

Water Damage in Bridgton can be different that in other parts of Maine. Since Bridgton and Naples are right on the lakes, we see seasonal houses that are temporarily unoccupied in the winter which tend to have more pipe breaks. Houses on a lake are more exposed and the combination of cold temperatures and wind can freeze and burst pipes. Rental units on the mountain are also often unoccupied during the weekdays and can be susceptible to water losses during that time.

ServiceMaster has been cleaning up after water damage in the Bridgton area for over 35 years. We have IICRC certified technicians who are able to respond to pipe breaks, floods, backups, ice dams, leaky roofs or any other water loss. There are several major components to mitigating a water loss.

Extraction: Generally, the first step is to remove all standing water. That is done with high-volume pumps or powerful truck mounted extraction units. We extract from hard surfaces but also have tools for removing water from carpets and pads if they are deemed salvageable.

Air Movement & Dehumidification: To ensure that mold will not establish itself, it is critical to remove moisture from the air, contents and structure. To do that we use a combination of industrial dehumidifiers and air movers. The air acts as a sponge and absorbs moisture which is then retrieved by the dehumidifiers and then funneled into a drain.

Removal of unsalvageable contents and structural materials: Anything that can’t be dried properly must be removed or the process of drying will slow down to the point where mold will grow.

Water Damage Metering: It is critical to use meters to map exactly where the moisture is and to ensure that it is below standards by the end of the job.

The faster that we can get on a job - the better the results. For instance, carpet will begin to delaminate after it has been wet for several hours. Carpet that has been wet for over a day is generally considered to be unsalvageable. By being onsite, we are able to minimize the risk of mold establishing itself.
