Why SERVPRO Is Lindenhurst’s Water Damage Recovery Choice

Common causes of water loss in Lindenhurst are minor plumbing leaks, appliance malfunctions, tub or sink overflows, and spills. These scenarios are not dramatic, like ruptures of water mains or overland flooding. You might feel as though you should be able to clean up these water events without help, but such an approach is not advisable. Let our experts help to be sure that the crisis is completely averted.

Water Can Migrate in a Short Time
Water damage in your Lindenhurst home is rarely a tidy matter. Liquid water leaked or spilled keeps moving, seeping through cracks and collecting in building cavities. You might believe that mopping up the puddle under a sink or dropping a bath towel on a shower overspray cleans up all the water. Unfortunately, your belief is likely wrong. The proof arises days or weeks later with a whiff of a musty smell signaling mold growth under the cabinet or a collection of dark stains on the ceiling below the bathtub. Training and experience in tracing the migration are why our help is invaluable.

Moisture Meters and Thermal Imaging
Advancements in technology allow Lindenhurst water damage to head towards a full resolution. Dedication is why SERVPRO’s Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)-trained technicians are experts in using thermal imaging to locate recesses in building cavities where leaked and spilled water collected. Once the trapped water is pinpointed, we choose a technique to release it. Water in a ceiling bulge might need a few weep holes carefully drilled or punched to let the fluid escape. A more substantial cache of water at floor level behind a wall might require a flood cut several inches above the water line to extract it and open the space for drying.

High Efficiency and Specialized Equipment
Bailing out a basement is not practical, which is why SERVPRO invests in submersible pumps and truck-mounted extractors. The efficiency of consumer versions is much less, and most households do not have them on hand. You need to purchase and learn to use them at a turbulent time.
