Mitigate water damage with an immediate call to SERVPRO for removal and drying
Long exposure of furniture and flooring to water and moisture increases the potential for damage. Not only does it take longer to dry everything, but some of your contents and structural elements such as hardwood flooring and drywall could also be permanently damaged. Homeowners should immediately take steps to minimize the damage by mopping up as much water as possible and calling us for help.
SERVPRO provides water damage services in Santa Clarita and surrounding areas. Our team has been offering remediation and drying services in our service area for many years. We have seen firsthand how time matters and why it is so important to remove water and moisture as soon as possible after the initial leak. We are available to help 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We also are on-site usually in less than 4 hours, because we know how important it is to remove the water before it causes long-term damage.
Homeowners Can Minimize the Damage
One of the first actions to take is to turn off the source of the water. If necessary, turn off the main water intake valve to your home to stop water leaking from plumbing inside walls. Call SERVPRO for help. We can arrive quickly and begin work to control and minimize damage from the water leak. Make sure it is safe from slips and falls as well as electrical hazards. Begin mopping up as much water as you can. If water is leaking in the bathroom, build a water dam using towels to prevent the water from spreading over to adjacent rooms.
Water on tile floors can usually be cleaned up very quickly. If the water leak is inside a wall, we may have to open the wall to expose the leak and dry the area. We can rig injecti-dry systems to clean under base cabinets to eliminate demolition and removal.
Sometimes water has already spread to adjacent rooms, into carpeting, or onto hardwood floors. We use weighted extractors to remove water from carpeting and underpadding. Drying mats are used to remove water from the hardwood floor, especially if it has penetrated between the boards. Failure to dry hardwood floors properly can cause cracking, cupping, or crowning of the wood. We can avoid most of these issues by arriving at your home quickly to help remove water and dry your home. We work hard to mitigate water damage.
