Broken Water Line Flooding Your Home? Here's What to Do.
7/14/2021 (Permalink)
When a water line breaks in your home, water can come rushing into your home. 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. Now what?
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 professional water extraction tools and our trained technicians 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 property. While time will dry it out on its own, the longer water sits there, the more likely it is for mold to grow. Our 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 will likely be necessary after all water-damaged debris is removed. In some cases, mold remediation is needed to ensure these surfaces are properly cleaned and mold removed. Our team will ensure this is done properly for you.
