SERVPRO wants you to know the water damage risks in your Jamestown home.

Don’t let leaks ruin your Jamestown home, we will help.

Many homes in Jamestown, like those in the Lakeview Avenue Historic District, are more than 100 years old. With most single-family houses in the area built between 1891 and 1930, a range of architectural styles and building materials exists throughout the neighborhood. 

Whether you live in the historic district or a modern gated community, hidden leaks can happen throughout your Jamestown home CAUSING WATER DAMAGE without your knowledge. From high water utility bills to health risks, a small leak can lead to big costs. Leaky pipes are hidden in walls or under floors, and they usually go unnoticed until water damage occurs. Signs to look for are crumbling ceilings, buckling floor tiles, and stains appearing on walls. If you notice any of these signs, SERVPRO’s team of knowledgeable restoration technicians can help you decide the most cost-effective way to mitigate the problem.

Renovations can be timely and expensive. Many homeowners tear out damp materials that may be salvageable.
