Why Professional-Level Drying is Crucial Against Maricopa Water Damage

Water damage brings many types of issues to a residence. Whether it is from a surprise supply line leak, water line to the fridge or pipe under the bathroom vanity gave out, it needs to be cleaned up and dried as fast as feasibly possible. 

When there is water damage in a Maricopa residence, professional water removal by SERVPRO avoids secondary losses. In most cases, for minimal water spills, homeowners can generally self-clean without further issues. After mopping or using rags to clean up water, use one or more fans to dry the area. Be watchful for signs of incomplete drying such as foul odors or less frequent, mold. 

Water follows the path of least resistance and migrates quickly. For example, a simple pipe break under a bathroom sink can lead to several problems if not properly cleaned and dried. Cleaning up the water you can see by mopping may not be enough. However, there is the potential for excessive moisture behind baseboards, under cabinet, subflooring, and floor joists. The softening of building materials, foul odors, and other damages can occur if inadequately mitigated. 

SERVPRO technicians complete training that includes certification in water removal. We have the equipment to find and extract deeply embedded moisture and use our knowledge of psychrometry to dry both surfaces and interior room components thoroughly. Fortunately, the average year-round humidity for this area of Arizona ranges from 38% to 48% which naturally inhibits mold growth due to lack of moisture but in the case of inadequate ventilation retaining moisture or a slow leak, there is the potential for colony growth.

In cases of severe water damage, the best outcome SERVPRO technicians can prove for homeowners is getting the property ready for reconstruction after the cleanup and drying of the affected areas. Our location has a residential contractor license # 310261, and we can make the water loss situation seamless for homeowners from cleanup to rebuilding.
