Water damage restoration

Water damage can have numerous causes, including floods, heavy rain, storms and plumbing problems caused by frozen or leaking pipes. When we are called to a damage site, our first task is to assess the damage to the property and whether any mitigation actions are required.

Our water damage restoration services may include pumping away residual water or removing furniture and other valuables to prevent further damage. Once the damage is mitigated, the drying process begins using energy-efficient drying and dehumidification equipment.

Factors such as the composition of the wet materials, airflow and humidity levels determine the approach, sometimes requiring the use of heat mats or heat sticks in addition to standard equipment. In certain cases, Polygon takes on responsibility for restoration of the site, such as replacement of wall and floor materials or the rebuilding of fittings.

By using technology such as remote monitoring, we can take continuous measurements of temperature, humidity, moisture content and carbon dioxide levels, which helps reduce both drying times and the number of site visits while keeping customers better informed.

For large-scale disasters, Polygon has an emergency stock of dehumidifiers, fans and other equipment that can be deployed throughout Europe within 24 hours. Our Eurostock is unique and gives us the capacity to respond to major incidents with immediate action.
