SERVPRO Can Help with Water Damage Repairs in Upper West Side
Water leaking from broken pipes or valves that do not completely close can deliver hundreds of gallons of water into a home or business in the Upper West Side in a matter of hours if not quickly rectified. The damage to your building may not be immediately apparent, especially if the residents mop up the excess water and the visible surfaces are allowed to dry naturally, without investigating the presence of water inside walls and ceiling cavities.
SERVPRO works with homeowners and business leaders in the Upper West Side, helping with water damage repairs. Although the visible areas appear to be dry, water migrates to the lowest point, in between walls, through cracks in the floor, and into rooms adjacent to the leak inside ceilings. In warm, humid conditions, this environment is perfect for mold growth and compromises the integrity of flooring and ceiling materials, causing them to lose strength. Compressed wood materials absorb water, swell and disintegrate as they absorb moisture.
Our technicians can identify these areas where water and moisture may have been collected utilizing moisture meters to confirm that water or high humidity levels are present. Our team can explain to insurance agents, adjusters, and homeowners or business owners where the water is and the steps needed to remove the moisture from inside the walls and ceilings.
- Indoor untreated water damage inside walls and ceilings may cause colonies of mold to form
- Mold can cause health effects.
- Water can have a destructive effect on most building materials and contents, especially inside walls and ceilings.
