Water Damage In Building

When water damage strikes, it spreads quickly and can cause extensive damage to your property. Within minutes, water can absorb into  walls, floors, and furniture, causing finishes to bleed and flooring to swell. Over the next few hours, drywall will swell and break down, metal will tarnish, and furniture will crack and split. Dyes and inks from fabrics and paper will bleed and stain, and a musty odor will fill the air.

If you experience water damage, it is important to act quickly to mitigate the damage. The longer you wait, the more extensive the damage will become. Call a SERVPRO immediately to get your property back to normal as soon as possible.
