Water Damage Process and Expectations

11/20/2024 (Permalink)

Many time things such as leaking pipes, burst sewer lines, and natural disasters can leave your home severely water damaged.  If your property is affected by water damage it is critical to identify the cause and act quickly to avoid further destruction.  Sometimes that water damage can occur from everyday appliances like a refrigerator or dishwasher.  Refrigerators often leak for a number of reasons but can cause serious damage to your kitchen flooring.  When and if that happens, SERVPRO of Kershaw and Lancaster Counties is available to help 24/7. 

Facing a water leak can be a very tedious task for a homeowner.  First the water would need the be soaked up as much as possible.  Then, any furniture or household items affected would need to be moved to a dry location.  Everything then needs to be dried out or thrown away depending on its condition.  SERVPRO is here to facilitate these tasks for you, all the while ensuring that water does not get an opportunity to penetrate your subfloor, damage floor covering such as linoleum, tile, or wood floor.  SERVPRO will also check carpeting, rugs, appliances, cabinetry, or any other area that requires water removal.  In addition, SERVPRO will also bring in water extractors, air movers and dehumidifiers and close off the area that is affected in order to efficiently remove and dry your water damaged areas. 

Our SERVPRO team is expertly trained and fully IIRC-industry certified to handle any restoration service necessary to return your home to its pre-water damaged state.  Qualified technicians will spend the time removing the water, as well as applying cleaning, drying and restoration techniques specific to your home or business, with the goal of ensuring a successful recover of property and structure.
