How Quickly Should Homeowners Begin Water Mitigation?

2/3/2021 (Permalink)

If you're dealing with flooding, spills or leaks in your Aberdeen or Holmdel home, you should not delay restoration. The longer you wait, the worse the situation can get, leading to expensive repair bills and potential health dangers.

With SERVPRO's water mitigation tactics, you have peace of mind knowing your home is in expert hands — no matter how serious the water incident is.

What Happens if You Delay Water Damage Restoration?

Deterioration starts within minutes of a water incident, and continues over the hours, days and weeks that follow. Problems that can occur within hours include:

• Carpet or floor stains caused by leaching of furniture in saturated areas
• Discoloration of furniture finishes
• Running of dyes in fabrics or upholstery
• Swelling of wood furniture and installations
• Delamination of carpets
• Household odors amplified by humidity

Most of these issues wind up becoming permanent property losses that often could've been prevented with professional assistance.
