SERVPRO's advanced drying equipment can mitigate water damage to your Mahopac property. We are always HERE TO HELP.

Treating Water Damage at a Mahopac Property

Sometimes, unwanted water makes its way around a home. This could be due to internal sources like burst pipes or exterior sources such as leaky gutters. When you notice some water on the floor, wet ceiling, or wall, you should not ignore it. There could be underlying issues way more serious than what you see on the surface. A burst pipe, for example, can put out more than 160 gallons per hour, spewing thousands of gallons when no one is in the house. Call an expert when you see telltale signs of moisture damage in your Mahopac home to prevent an escalation.

Professional water mitigation services in Mahopac homes ensure no further damage happens. The process can be done during or soon after the incident. Before anything else, experts should determine the moisture source in your home, as the severity level of each source is different. When SERVPRO offers emergency response to water incidents, we help minimize secondary damages, such as moldy drywall and buckled floors.

Different categories of water

• Clean
• Gray
• Black

Clean water does not contain any waste products. This is typically unused water from burst pipes, overflowing sinks, and defective appliances. However, if not removed and treated, it can become infested with microorganisms and become black water (contaminated) in days.

Preventing moisture damage from spreading

Proper mitigation measures enable the restoration process to run faster and smoother. SERVPRO crews run an inspection to determine the source of moisture. In case of a burst pipe, the obvious should be done - fixing the problem to prevent more moisture from spreading in the house.

Other tasks to mitigate damage include

• Check the home’s structure for stability
• Remove moisture by drying the environment and regulating humidity levels
• Remove damaged materials such as drywall
• Clean and disinfect materials and surfaces
