Professional Water Restoration

Water damage is a cause for concern because it can quickly get soaked up by porous materials and spread over a larger area of your property.  The building materials that absorb water will swell, warp, and buckle and if they take on too much water, they can become weakened.  This is especially concerning for drywall and wood structural elements because these materials can lose their structural integrity with too much water.  Mold is another potential issue as the presence of moisture makes affected areas and materials vulnerable to mold. When you call ServiceMaster Restoration & Cleaning, we will start by evaluating the extent of the damage and stopping the spread of the water.  For cases with standing flood water, we can remove the water with advanced water extraction equipment.  We will then dry the affected areas and materials with dehumidifiers and air movers and thoroughly clean and restore these areas after the drying process. You can expect the following from our water damage restoration services:

• Emergency response 24/7

• Complete water extraction and drying
