New Britain Home Owners Turn to SERVPRO for Expert Water Mitigation 

Water intrusion in a home can be a traumatic event for any homeowner and create an environment of stress and uncertainty. SERVPRO's highly trained IICRC certified professionals can help you deal with it by offering professional water mitigation of your New Britain home.

The primary goal of SERVPRO technicians during water mitigation of your New Britain home is to prevent any secondary damage. Water damage due to burst pipes, ceiling leaks, or basement flooding can have contaminants that must be prevented from spreading to unaffected areas. SERVPRO's team of experts takes appropriate steps to establish engineering controls and create conditions that help to localize the contamination. 

What Engineering Controls do SERVPRO Techs Establish during Water Cleanup of Your New Britain Home? 

Once the SERVPRO techs begin the restoration work on your New Britain property, especially controlled demolition, the contaminants can be easily dislodged (or Aerosolized) and travel to unaffected areas. To avoid this, restorers establish the following engineering controls-

• Building containment zones- Doorways or openings to the affected areas are sealed off 6-mil polyethylene plastic. The technicians also create an additional decontamination chamber, turn off the HVAC, and seal the supply and return registers with plastic bags. 
• Establishing a negative pressure- Within the containment zone, air filtration devices blow air outside the building. The arrangement allows the clean air to come into the containment area, but the contaminated air can't go to unaffected parts of the structure due to lower air pressure. Such a system is said to have created a 'negative pressure' within the containment area.
