Water Damages are sometimes Unavoidable!

SERVPRO set up equipment to reduce the chance of bacterial growth after a water damage!

   As much as we would like to avoid water leaks, broken pipes, rain coming down our roof or sudden and unexpected bursts of water, sometimes water damage is unavoidable. However, it’s not impossible to deal with.
   Dealing with water damage will depend on where the damage was done. If we’re talking about our roofs leaking water through our ceilings, the best way to deal with it is by restoring the roof and waterproof it right away to avoid any future leaks.
   When it comes to indoor places inside your home getting flooded, make sure to call in SERVPRO to get all the water out and properly dry it and ventilate the area. We do this to avoid moisture and any kind of humidity that could set in and create mold.
   The same procedure applies for bathrooms and broken pipes or sinks. The most important thing to do is to get all the water out (and repair the leak immediately) and ventilate it right after.
   Last, but not least, do not forget to also dry whatever got wet during the water damage. Furniture, clothes, books… These things can damage pretty quickly and even get mold too if you don’t take care of them as quickly as possible too. Ask SERVPRO about the different resources we have available to clean furniture, clothing, or even save damaged or wet documents!
