Water damage not only affects the inside of your home. It can also affect the outside of your home too! Especially the roof top. Here at SERVPRO we can fix or replace your roof after experiencing some heavy rain or snow fall. 

When a snow storm hits, the pipes in your home have a great chance of freezing. The water inside the pipes turn into ice and the pipes freeze up. Once temperatures regulate the water can start leaking from the pipes, which then creates water damage.

The most common leaks come from sinks in the kitchen, in the bathroom and the laundry room. This home experienced a large amount of water damage from their washing machine.

Everything that is blue is moisture from water. This home experienced a leak from the washing machine. The water spread to adjacent rooms and affected the ceiling in the living room. We had to show the home owner exactly where the water traveled. Most of the time home owners don't realize how fast water travels. A leak can spread real fast, and only moisture readers can identify exactly where that moisture is. We don't start any work without getting accurate moisture readings. It's part of the water mitigation process. 

Baseboards were removed in this hallway due to water damage. We were able to remove only the affected baseboards without having to cut into the drywall above them. We saved this office from further demolition. We were successful in drying the carpet and the inside of the walls. 

Before we could remove the vinyl flooring we had to test for asbestos and the results came back negative. We were able to proceed and successfully removed all the vinyl flooring that was affected by water in this office. 

The damage caused by this leak was sufficient enough to cause a ring around the carpet. Our air movers were placed for 3 days to dry up the affected area. The ring of water stained the carpet but was later removed with our cleaning agents.

Only our heavy duty air movers are powerful enough to dry materials affected by water damage. We are trained by the IICRC to formulate how many air movers and dehumidifiers are needed for a specific space. 

In order for us to get to the root of a problem, we need to see what is happening within the layers of a wall. Our job is to make sure that there is no evidence of Mold left behind. This is what makes us different from the rest, we don't just clean mold we remediate it!
