Water loss considerations

1/28/2025 (Permalink)

Acting fast will be the difference.

When facing water damage, our priority is to consider the health and safety of the occupants.

No matter the water loss you are dealing with, moving your family away from the site should be your first step if the situation seems to be going out of control.

Contain the damage: If possible, try to locate the source of the water damage and contain it. For instance, if the culprit is a broken pipe or a leak in the ceiling, you could use waterproof tape to hold the damage temporarily and prevent further damage.

If the circumstances seem severe, it is ideal to contact a water damage restoration professional to know how bad it is, especially if the area in question is near drywalls and crawlspaces.

Move your belongings: Relocating your belongings like furniture, home appliances, and clothing to a dry place is crucial; when most of them get wet or exposed to high moisture content, they can become a haven for mold growth.

Dealing with water damage can be a tricky task. The key is to take action within the first 48 hours and keep the microbial growth under constant check. Here is where water restoration specialists can play a crucial role.

We are a very committed team with professionals who make this possible, provide a good service and always give only the best. So do not hesitate to call and contact us; we are always available!

Frozen Pipe

AVOID WATER DAMAGE AND WATER LOSS THIS WINTER

SERVPRO loves to help; we want to remind you of a few things you can do to prevent any water loss this winter, mainly because, in this season, winter can affect in several ways your property.

Protect your pipes

Burst pipes are one of the most common water loss causes of property damage in the winter, and also a costly one. Water pipes have the potential to freeze and burst when the outside temperature reaches shallow temperatures, so you better double-check them out.

Examine the exterior

Water can do severe damage when it's flowing where it shouldn't. We suggest you step outside and look at your roof, gutters, and downspouts. Broken shingles or damaged flashing can signify that water might be penetrating your roof. Please take a look at them and make sure everything is all good. It is always better to rectify and avoid any further damage, especially at this time of the year; it's expensive, and you'll have to attend immediately.

Look for leaks

Look for leaks in your bathrooms, sink, showers, toilets, and tubs. Same with kitchen, garage, and basically anything that includes plumbing, it's worth it to check them out. Also, leaks can often be detected by performing a simple check that involves turning off the water inside and outside the home; you should try it just in case!

SERVPRO wishes you happy holidays!

Water Damage drywall problems.

Sometimes it is essential to inspect our properties, homes, offices, apartments, etc.

Here are signs you should check if there's some water damage early on:

1. Changes in floors, walls, and ceilings regarding paint, color, or texture

Many homeowners don't notice the changes to structural elements. They are hard to spot in familiar surroundings, even if you are good at cleaning up and upkeep; when water damage is on the cards, you can observe dry walls or ceilings being flaky. This condition, if left unchecked, can become bloated; also, tiles made of ceramic material often develop mold and cracks in the grout when damaged by water for being a porous material.

2. Running water sounds

Water damage isn't always visible but makes noticeable sounds. For example, drips creaks in the floorboards, and the sound of constantly running water may signify that you need repairs. In addition, tiny bubbles can result in holes in your concrete foundation, threatening the entire home's structure.

3. Increasing water bills

A sudden surge in utility bills is an excellent indicator of water damage. Ensure to check the visible pipelines and faucets in the house for any leaks. If you fail to find leaks in the visual areas, consider the possibility of water damage within the walls. If you spot any water damage, call a plumber as soon as possible.

Contact us if you see any signs that could show some mold in your residency or commercial business.
