Dealing with Water Damage on Porous Materials

Porous materials, such as carpets and upholstery, have high permeance. These materials absorb moisture quickly, leading to several problems, and can only be salvaged if addressed promptly. Additionally, porous materials often trap odors from water damage, significantly if contaminated by sewage or gray water. SERVPRO® professionals employ mitigation measures to help salvage these materials, including;

• Removal of standing water quickly to reduce absorption
• Setting up air movers and dehumidifiers to draw out trapped moisture
• Replacing severely damaged sections

Fire Damage Cleanup on Ceramic Tiles

When ceramic tiles are exposed to fire, smoke residues can settle on the tile surface, causing discoloration, particularly on lighter-colored tiles. Tiled surfaces consist of grouting, which varies in porosity depending on how well it is sealed. To clean, SERVPRO crews apply a wet cleaning method using strong alkaline cleaners formulated for ceramic tiles. We also use a strong acid cleaner, either muriatic acid, phosphoric acid, or a stabilized acid on grout.
