Water damage in your home? SERVPRO can make it "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO Acts Fast to Remove Water and Restore Your Home Quickly 

With many newer homes in Destin having a laundry room on an upper level, this poses a risk of severe water damage if the washing machine ever malfunctions. Water can easily seep through the flooring into the ceiling and rooms below. A situation like this needs to be handled as quickly as possible to avoid further damages, but cleaning up a large mess requires professional knowledge and tools.

Your home is a significant investment, so when water damage in Destin has threatened any part of it, the faster you act, the better. Hesitating to get water removal services allows more damage to occur, resulting in a more massive repair bill. SERVPRO is standing by at any hour, ready to help you when a water disaster strikes. We know these things never happen at a convenient time, so we are here whenever you need us with the experience necessary to restore your home to the way it was.

Since water can spread and get into and through a majority of surfaces, floors, walls, and obstructions, we first determine the scope of the damage so we can adequately mitigate it. Doing so protects your home from future mold and other residual problems. Since we cannot always see with the naked eye where all the moisture and water are, we use thermal cameras and moisture meters to find all the areas affected.

Then, if needed, SERVPRO techs remove materials like drywall, subflooring, and flooring that have been affected to salvage the substructure and framing of your home. We also separate and store your personal property during the restoration process. Finally, we recover anything possible, cleaning and sanitizing all that can be restored.

We can then begin water extraction and drying. First, the standing water is removed with industrial-sized pumps, and then dehumidifiers and air-movers are brought in to finish the drying process. Times can vary depending on how much moisture is present, but this step can take a few days at least, during which we monitor all of the equipment.

The affected areas are then treated to prevent mold and bacteria. Any rebuilding can now be done. When needed, we bring in other professionals to help with this step.
