Water Removal Destin – Leaky Plumbing 

Before the discovery, a leaking plumbing joint inside a wall can leak water for hours. Water may fill the cavity inside the wall before it spreads out onto the floor, soaking carpets and anything left lying around. Homeowners may discover the leak only when the homeowner enters the room and find water all over the floor, under cabinets, and inside the wall.

We respond to many water removal requests every year and have been providing service for over 26 years in the community. Our team can be onsite in less than 4 hours of your call to begin water and moisture removal. It is essential to act before mold has an opportunity to grow and become an infestation.

Moisture Removal 

At SERVPRO, we focus on removing all of the water and moisture to minimize water damage to your home. We are experts at mold mitigation and have seen the damage mold can do to a home if moisture is left to linger. We use weighted water extractors, vacuum wands, and suction devices to remove all excess water and moisture. 

If the original water leak is inside a wall, we may have to open the wall to expose the leaky plumbing joint as well as dry this area. We remove the drywall and vacuum all of the water from the area. The water may have also leaked along the wall into adjacent cavities between studs. We remove drywall to gain access to these spaces as well. 

Water under cabinets is removed by drilling access holes into the kick plate of the cupboards and using suction to remove excess water. SERVPRO uses specialized blowers to push air under the cupboards to absorb moisture and dry these areas. We use portable air movers and dehumidifiers to remove the remaining moisture and lower the humidity levels to normal levels.
