Don’t let water intrusion take over your Lakewood home, let SERVPRO help.

We know the lengths it is going to take for your Lakewood water damage.

Water intrusion incidents are a major contributor to property damage. Some damage might be faint, such as stains, but accumulated moisture can cause mold growth in affected areas or lead to the deterioration of walls, floors, and wooden support structures. Excess water may also cause unforeseen destructive processes like rusting metal, peeling paint, and electrical issues. SERVPRO can help you restore your property after a water loss.

With our competent technicians and advanced water extraction equipment, we can handle any magnitude of water damage in your Lakewood home. We can assess the damage to determine the right strategies to fix the situation. The severity of water loss incidents differs depending on the type and amount of water and the level of contamination involved. 

You may deal with a moderate or small amount of clean or gray water in your residence on your own if you have the right tools and take proper precautions. However, if a large amount of water has pooled in your home or moisture has gotten too hard-to-reach areas, the destruction can be beyond your ability to repair. For instance, if water has pooled on one of the upper floors of your home, it may seep through the floor and ruin the ceiling below. 

We understand the construction of wall and floor assemblies and can, therefore, make educated decisions about drying and restoration. Understanding how a structure is built enables our technicians to inspect, remove bulk water, and dry the affected materials effectively. When water flows through a wall, ceiling, and wall materials, it also passes through a ceiling, floor, and wall assembly, which is a group of materials that make up a system. An interior wall system could contain an assemblage of framing and drywall, while an exterior wall system may contain framing, drywall, exterior sheathing, and framing. Our SERVPRO team can inspect your home and document all materials that could be damp. We can check for moisture using: 

Penetrating moisture meters - They have pins that penetrate a surface to give a visual display of moisture readings. They operate on the principle of electrical conductivity by penetrating the material we are testing. 

Non-penetrating moisture meters - These devices use radio frequency emissions, conductivity, or capacitance to detect moisture in a substance. They do not cause surface damage to the materials that restorers are testing. 

Our technicians can dry your home thoroughly using equipment like centrifugal air movers and desiccant dehumidifiers. Professional restoration ensures the removal of all moisture from a building. 

After a water loss incident in your home, acting swiftly can prevent further damage. SERVPRO of Jamestown / Olean can help you fix the destruction to make it “Like it never even happened.” Call us today at (716) 338-4901 for prompt restoration.
