Involve IICRC Certified Restorers Like SERVPRO Immediately to Help with Water Removal in your Berkeley Heights Home

When water leaks in your home, it can cause a lot of damage in a short time. Mold could grow, your wooden floor could wrap, and odors could linger in the house. It is critical to contact SERVPRO professionals as soon as possible to help you restore your property.

The effects of trapped moisture

The damage is painfully evident and motivates property owners to handle water removal in Berkeley Heights homes. However, you may end up with severe damages without the required expertise and appropriate equipment and tools.

The moisture left behind creates risks such as:

• Mold growth: Mold produces toxic spores that can cause health effects. Our technicians treat affected areas using advanced and approved products. We can use chlorine, a disinfectant that destroys 99 percent of microorganisms.
• Poor structural integrity: Pillars may begin to rot, leading to weak structure.
• Persisting odors that can make the property uncomfortable to reside 

How do technicians dry an affected property?

Depending on the damage, SERVPRO technicians can use an indirect fired furnace to speed up the drying process. The equipment uses a heat exchanger. It heats the dry outside air before bringing it into the drying environment. The equipment takes evaporated water from wet materials increasing the humidity ratio in the air. 

Small water leaks may seem harmless but can cause expensive damage in the long run. Contact SERVPRO of Western Union County at (908) 791-9177 for excellent restoration services “Like it never even happened.”
