Water damaged floors
When you are faced with a disaster that has struck at your home or business, time becomes an especially precious commodity. When it is your home or livelihood on the line, you need help right away and you don’t have the benefit of waiting for help.
We’re aware, and understand, that a fast response is crucial, which is why we take fast response to any size disaster seriously, making it more than just a slogan to us.
When it’s your belongings or business on the line, time is not always on your side when it comes to disaster cleanup. This is especially true when water damage has come into play, which can be through various means such as flooding, appliance and/or plumbing failures, storm damage and fire damage, as water is used to put out the fires.
The walls, the floors, upholstery and your belongings become water damage casualties because it only takes mere minutes for water to spread throughout your property, where it will saturate everything in its path.
The effects of water damage within the first 24 hours include:
- Drywall beginning to swell and break down
- Metal surfaces beginning to tarnish
- Furniture beginning to swell and crack
- Dyes and inks from cloth and paper items spreading and staining
- The beginning of a musty odor
The damage continues to worsen as time goes on. Between 48 hours and a week later, you could begin to see:
- The growth and spreading of mold and mildew
- Swelling and warping of doors, windows and studs
- Metal beginning to rust and corrode
- Paint beginning to blister
- Wood flooring swelling and warping
- The possibilities of serious biohazard contamination
Unchecked water damage that is left for over a week can lead to a dramatically increased restoration time and costs and can also impact structural safety.
By providing an immediate response to any size disaster, we can help keep damage to a minimum and help keep the cleaning and restoration costs manageable.
Our trained cleanup and restoration specialists can be dispatched to your property or business at any time, no matter what day or time it is.
Being a locally owned and operated franchise helps us be close by and ready to respond whenever the call comes in. Also, one of the major perks of being part of a national network of over 1,700 franchises is that we have access to more resources for the cleanup and restoration projects that may be larger or stem from major storm situations.
Remember, if you need us, we’ll be there—no matter the time or day. The team of highly trained restoration experts at SERVPRO® of East Davie/Cooper City is available for emergency cleanup and restoration services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
