Leaving water running in a tub after a distraction is a common occurrence especially for parents. Contact SERVPRO immediately for a plan.

SERVPRO Technicians Use Specialized Equipment to Remediate Water Damage After an Event

If you have ever experienced a bathtub in an upstairs bathroom in your Redington Beach home overflow, you have probably also experienced water damage to the ceiling below. Whether you forgot and left the tub running, your children splashed a significant amount of water out of the tub, or your overflow drain was not working correctly, this type of damage can add up very quickly.
 
Cleaning up the water that overflowed is not enough to prevent further water damage in Redington Beach. The water seeps down into your subflooring and the ceiling underneath it, creating much more significant problems in your home. With this much of a problem, you need professional help from SERVPRO, as we are a trained and experienced water damage restoration company.
 
When we arrive, we remove any carpeting or padding so we can adequately dry your home. It is not enough to get rid of all the moisture during water removal. Moisture can hide under flooring, behind walls, or even in your vents and air conditioning/heating system. Dehumidifiers, plus high-velocity air movers are therefore used to remove any remaining moisture in the air. Plus, we use specialized instruments to discover any water which is hidden.
 
It is also vital that your home is structurally sound. SERVPRO techs work with professional contractors to restore damaged parts of your structure such as the flooring, subflooring, and ceiling where the water has seeped into. These parts of the structure may have been weakened, especially if the water was allowed to sit for an extended period before you called us for help.
 
Besides the restoration of your property and the larger pieces of furniture, we also work on the carpeting as fast as possible to avoid any growth of bacteria or mildew. To ensure this does not happen, we disinfect the carpet. Timely and proper cleaning also prevents the need for odor control.
