Protecting the Value of Your Property

Protecting everything from further damages

One of the most critical steps in the restoration process is containment. At SERVPRO, we use advanced containment techniques to ensure that the affected area is properly isolated from the rest of your home or business. This not only protects your belongings from dust, debris, or potential contaminants, but it also ensures that we are minimizing the spread of harmful mold spores or water damage to unaffected areas.

What is Containment?

Containment involves using specialized plastic sheeting and barriers to create a physical separation between the restoration area and the rest of your home. This plastic is carefully installed around the affected area, and in some cases, around specific items that can’t be moved. A zipper is often added to these barriers to allow for easy access, ensuring that we don’t have to remove the plastic unless it’s necessary for the job.

Why is Containment So Important?

Containment serves multiple purposes during the restoration process:

1. Protecting Your Belongings: Any items that can’t be removed from the affected area are covered and sealed within the containment zone. This keeps your valuables safe from damage, dust, and contaminants during restoration.
2. Limiting the Spread of Contaminants: For mold remediation, water damage, or fire restoration, it’s vital to keep contaminants from spreading throughout your home. Containment effectively isolates the problem areas, preventing harmful substances from affecting other rooms or parts of the property.
3. Maintaining Cleanliness: By keeping the restoration work confined to specific areas, containment helps us maintain a clean and organized workspace, ensuring minimal disruption to the rest of your property.

How Long Will Containment Stay in Place?

Once containment is installed, it’s important not to remove it prematurely. The containment is there to protect your belongings and the rest of the property while the restoration is being completed. Depending on the type of restoration work being done, containment will stay in place until the process is fully finished.

However, if you need access to specific items during the restoration, we can carefully move those belongings to another area where you can reach them, ensuring that you don’t have to worry about being cut off from anything you need.
