What to Do After a Water Line Break

Water in your home or office doesn't have to be deep to cause significant damage. Get help fast from SERVPRO of Spokane County.

When a clean water line breaks in your home, water can come rushing into your home quickly. Within a matter of seconds, you could have an inch of water in your basement. The longer that water line is left running the more likely your home can have significant damage – and it can typically take several minutes to simply figure out how to shut off the supply. Then the damage is done.  What do you do when you have had this type of damage?

Water Extraction and Drying Out

The first step is always to remove the water from the space and to get this done by the fastest method possible. That’s when it’s important to have SERVPRO of Spokane County on your team.  Our water extraction tools are available to help you 24/7. We can safely remove all standing water quickly, regardless of the size and scope of the problem. From there, it becomes necessary to dry out the home. While time will dry out the home on its own, the longer water sits there, the more likely it is for mold to grow. Our team and state of the art technology will speed up this process safely and get your home dry as soon as possible.

What Happens Then?

Sanitizing your home may be necessary after all water damaged debris is removed. In some cases, mold remediation is necessary to ensure these surfaces are properly cleaned and mold removed. Our team will ensure this is done properly for you.
