When your luxurious Norwich home spa springs a leak causing water spillage and damage--Contact SERVPRO to make it "Like it never even happened."

SERVPRO Technicians Perform Water Cleanup in Norwich Homes

There are several ways that a Norwich property can need a water remediation service during a renovation. When a homeowner elects to update their home, it is not uncommon for different professionals such as plumbers, painters, and electricians to work on the property simultaneously. Unfortunately, this is also the setup for an accident that can cause water damage.

Plumbing accidents are one of the most common issues leading to water damage in Norwich properties. Kitchen and bathroom remodeling jobs are the most frequently seen areas for this type of problem, with some of the following being the culprit:

• Leaks
• Poor drainage allows seepage into the home
• Accidents with supply lines
• Opening walls exposing slowly dripping pipes

Upgrades Can Cause Damage from Water

Diverter spouts installed in handheld showerheads can cause a blowback issue that delivers water behind the shower wall with every use. If the problem continues, severe damage such as buckling of the wall, tile loss, and mold growth can occur.

Hot Tubs and Jacuzzis

Many homeowners look forward to installing a hot tub or jacuzzi in their home as a place to unwind and relax. However, these devices can also be a place where water damage happens. The unit should be inspected regularly for leaks in the supply lines and around the base. SERVPRO techs can use infrared cameras to determine if there is a buildup of moisture underneath by using thermal vision and use their expertise to negate any budding damage issues.

Professional water cleanup services can assist during a renovation as needed. SERVPRO technicians can work alongside the other industry professionals to handle the water remediation while the work on the home continues. The goal is to keep the remodeling project on schedule and eliminate on-site water issues.
