Water Damage

In water damage situations, water will typically spread out and flow toward substructures and lower floors. Porous materials, such as wood, sheetrock or other common building materials, will also soak up the water. This can result in discoloration, swelling, broken adhesive bonds, delamination (flooring separation), warping and overall breakdown of the building materials that make up your home.

The more time that elapses before treatment, the greater the damage. Even if the water evaporates unassisted, it can cause damage to ceilings, walls and contents.

Understanding The Drying Process

ServicerMaster will restore your property as quickly and efficiently as possible. The drying and restoration may require up to three phases before completion:

PHASE 1: Emergency Service & Site Inspection

A ServiceMaster trained technician will begin by determining if your carpet is salvageable and if the carpet can be dried in place. If so, we will extract as much water as possible. Some flooring may need to be removed to expedite the drying process. Technicians will place our specialty equipment and monitor the temperature and humidity to ensure proper drying.

PHASE 2: Reinstallation/Cleaning

When the drying is complete, carpet reinstallation can begin.  Reinstallation includes replacing padding if it was removed, restretching, reattaching the tack strip, seam repair and threshold repair and /or replacement. After the reinstallation, carpet is cleaned and deodorized. During this phase, any upholstery or other damaged furnishings will be cleaned.

PHASE 3: Structural Repairs
