If the water line on your washing machine breaks, you may not know until a great deal of damage has been caused. Contact SERVPRO for remediation.

Team SERVPRO Arrives on the Scene Equipped to Remediate After Your Water Damage Event

Sometimes appliances break and water spills into your Sparta home. For example, if a water line breaks on your washing machine, your utility closet can fill up with standing water quickly. Even if the water did not spread outside of the closet, mitigation work is still needed.

Not all water damage situations seem like major problems. However, any time water gets where it is not supposed to be, SERVPRO's water damage experts in Sparta are here to help. Even though the problem may seem minor, worse problems can come about if the damage does not get professional attention.
When standing water stays in an area for an extended period, other problems arise. Water can soak into the walls and flooring of the closet and spread moisture to other areas of your home. If moisture seeps deep into the walls or flooring material, damage of structural materials is possible. If organic materials stay wet for a long time, it is possible to have a mold problem in the future.

When you call the IICRC certified crew at SERVPRO, we have experience in preventing future problems from arising in your home. After the leaking washing machine gets repaired, the water restoration crew comes in and removes the appliances out of the closet to assess the damage. At this point, our team uses their extraction equipment to vacuum up all of the standing water around. After all standing water is gone, our water damage crew uses moisture testing equipment to see which materials the water soaked.

If our experts see flooring or wall materials that are damaged and cannot be dried out and repaired, then they get removed. If moisture levels are high and materials are not yet damaged, then drying can occur. Most times our restoration specialists remove the closet's baseboard so that air can get underneath the drywall. We then set up air movers and possibly a dehumidifier in the closet and dry all of the moisture out of the area. Once moisture levels inside the flooring and walls are back to normal, we remove all of our drying equipment.

Water damage experts can help even if a water damage scenario seems minor. If you have a small water damage issue inside your utility closet call SERVPRO of Cumberland, Morgan, & White Counties at (931) 250-5333, for assistance 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
