Disaster in Your Durham Home? Get Water Cleanup with SERVPRO!

Are you suffering the effects of water damage in your home after a busted pipe or faulty appliance? Water cleanup is needed right away. Here’s how to start the cleanup before the SERVPRO technicians arrive.

Turn Off Your Power
First and foremost, it’s important to shut off any electricity to the house that is in the vicinity of the spillage or puddles. Turn off your switches and unplug your electronics so that water services in your Durham home can be performed as smoothly as possible. Do not let electrical components come into contact with water, or any areas where there may be water damage. Shock or electrocution are always dangers waiting to happen.

Shut Off Your Water Main
If possible, you should be turning off your water main to prevent more water from coming into your home and adding to the pooling water. In these cases, the originating source of the water damage is unknown. If it is an appliance failure or burst pipe in an apparent area, do a local shut-off. SERVPRO technicians can help target the area where the damage started, tracking it to the areas it has affected. Then, the water removal and drying services can begin.

Stay Off a Wet Carpet
If the carpet has been damaged by water, we can inspect the entire carpet pad. In most cases, water soaks down through the layers of carpet and onto the pad. There is specific equipment that is used to extract water from these pads and dry them effectively. We can utilize weighted wands attached to wet vacs, and riding Rovers with the weight of the technicians squeezing out moisture and water from all the layers above the subfloor

Find a Water Cleanup Solution
Water removal happens as soon as the water damage is found. It is imperative to work quickly, so the water does not damage your house further. Industrial-grade tools and machines are used to quickly extract the water and dry the affected location to prevent the growth of bacteria or mold. Water mitigation is a key factor in the restoring of your home to its preloss condition.
