If your water dispenser leaks it can slowly cause water damage if no one notices. Contact SERVPRO today for water damage remediation assistance.

Leaking Water Bottles can Create Localized Water Damage in Your Durham Home

Temperature changes rarely cause problems with the plastics used in food packaging, including water bottles. Large bottles come in a sturdier grade than personal sized bottles, leading many to assume they are indestructible. However, containers can get broken along their seams if mishandled. Allowing your children to use a case of unopened bottles as a make-shift table or seat for friends while marathon gaming at your Durham residence can become problematic.

Cleaning your Durham home's floors after guests leave can alert you to water damage from leaky bottles before it becomes severe. A two-liter bottle of water that leaks all over your floor might seem unimportant to your teens, so they never tell you what happened while letting the water soak into the carpet and floor underneath. Water spreads both horizontally and down, and if more than one bottle leaked, the damage multiplies even more rapidly.

Drinking water like this remains clean and calling SERVPRO as soon as you find localized water drenching your carpet can save you the expense of replacing your floor covering. We can extract the lost water to protect both carpet and pad, as well as prevent any delamination from occurring.

To prevent stains or discoloration, our specialists can clean the entire area to remove soil and allow the carpet to dry evenly. This prevents water marks from showing up once the drying process completes. To make this happen faster, we can place an air mover so the carpet dries. Air movers also promote even drying across the surface.

When thicker padding exists under the carpet, we can use our weighted claw device, which compresses the fluid saturating the dense pad while simultaneously using a pump to extract the water. We perform this before cleaning the carpet, as doing so saves time later when extracting the water during routine carpet cleaning tasks.
