Why SERVPRO Cleans Up Your Water Damage ASAP
11/18/2021 (Permalink)
Water disasters—and storm, wind, fire, biohazard and other emergencies—hit quickly and usually with no warning. If it’s your home or business that has been damaged, you need help ASAP. From East Hartford to Union, SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield is ready to respond to your emergency at a moment’s notice, around the clock, because we understand the importance of stopping damage in its tracks and getting the cleanup process started fast.
Our Damage Cleanup Process
SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield will handle the entire damage remediation process, from the time you call us to the time we complete the job of restoring your home or business. Our highly-trained crews have the know-how, tools and equipment to return both your building and your personal property to the way they were before the emergency.
Our time-tested process starts when we arrive promptly at your home or business. We expertly assess the damage, then develop your remediation plan. In many cases, we’ll take immediate action to halt the disaster in its tracks; this may involve tarping or boarding over your roof or windows, or other methods. Our next step is to create a digital inventory of your salvageable possessions before transporting your furniture and belongings to our central Connecticut warehouse for cleaning and storage. Meanwhile, we clean and restore your home or business facility; this may include reconstruction depending on the severity of the damage. Throughout this process, we communicate with your insurer to expedite your claims processing. Finally, we return the contents of your home or business, with all the damage restored.
Every Minute Counts
SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield wastes no time in responding to your disaster because we know that can minimize the damage, meaning fewer repairs will be required—and that can save you time and money!
A water emergency in particular calls for a rapid response, both to halt the spread of water and to remove the water. Water plus time is a recipe for severe damage to your home or business: floors, walls, furniture and possessions all get soaked.
Here’s what happens if you don’t get the water out quickly.
Within 1 hour
- Water spreads throughout your home or business, and is absorbed into your walls and floors, furniture and upholstery, and personal belongings
- Documents, books, photos and other paper items swell and warp
- Furniture finishes begin staining your carpet
Within 1 day
- Drywall begins to swell and degrade
- Metal surfaces start to tarnish
- Wooden furniture begins to swell and crack
- You’ll notice a musty odor
Within 1 week
- After just 48 hours, mold and mildew can begin to grow
- Structural damage occurs as doors, windows, floors and studs swell and warp; paint begins to blister
- Metal begins to rust and corrode
After just one week without cleanup, the time and cost of restoring your home or business will increase drastically. The more time that goes by, the harder it will be to salvage possessions and furnishings, and the more likely it is that reconstruction will be needed. On top of that, a mold infestation will necessitate a serious remediation effort. Avoid all that hassle by calling SERVPRO of Manchester/Mansfield ASAP!
