SERVPRO Says Sump Pumps Can Mitigate Water Dampness and Damage in Marlboro Basements

Long Term Basement Drying Solutions in Marlborough

Wet basements and cellar areas encompass a large portion of the work that our professionals do for Marlborough residences. Through both flooding situations and hydrostatic pressure of groundwater on vulnerable blockwork, dampness and moisture are a nearly constant battle for some homeowners in the area. Our experience and training in this niche of the restoration industry have helped us to provide and develop long-term solutions for chronic dampness situations prevalent in our service region.

While the priority that property owners have in these situations is wet basement drying for Marlborough homes, there are more steps and preventative measures that can get taken to ensure that the cleanup and drying in this recovery is a more permanent situation. Our SERVPRO professionals can help to provide your home with long-term dryness when possible through multiple approaches that get decided based on the needs of your house and how water losses are affecting it.
 
Patching
One of the first solutions that we often work to employ when possible is patching the points of penetration with hydraulic cement. This compound can get applied when water is still leeching through these vulnerable points, making it a sound strategy to reduce moisture and dampness in your basement. Our careful evaluation with moisture meters can identify the points of penetration to ensure that all of these areas get sealed up appropriately.
 
Sump Pump
Sump pumps can help to divert water away from your basement floors. These units can get attached directly into a French drain system that can move the water flow around the house away from the basement. Concrete flooring inside the basement area can also get regraded to divert any potential standing water to this discharge point.
 
Dehumidification
Another option is the installation of a dehumidifier. Our SERVPRO professionals can show you the relative humidity (RH) level in the basement and how a permanent dehumidification unit can keep these levels within acceptable parameters and prevent secondary effects like microbial growth.
 
Wet basements might be a standard callout for our SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord team, but we approach each of these situations as unique threats that require a custom solution specific to your property. Rely on our professionals to make these loss incidents "Like it never even happened." Give us a call today at (978) 486-9868.
