SERVPRO Water Restoration Technicians can Help

Water spills into your property can quickly degrade, causing malodors and creating the conditions for bacteria and other microorganisms to thrive. The growth of microorganisms in the home can lead to dilapidation and permanent property damage. It is vital to contact a professional restoration service if you experience a water intrusion event. We can help assess the damages you can see and other damages that may not be immediately apparent. Our services are geared toward:

• Burst pipes
• Appliance leak
• Water intrusion

By conducting expert water mitigation in your Norwich home, our technicians can help to reduce potential losses. Inspections of not just the interior of your property but also cavities and layers of the building assembly are essential to ensuring that water migration does not cause long-lasting damage to the home. To make these inspections, our technicians use a variety of measuring equipment. These include penetrating meters that pierce the surface of a material and return an accurate reading of its moisture content which can help us to assess potential water migration. Non-penetrating meters can also help check walls or flooring to consider if water may be underneath. These moisture sensors measure the surface temperature and calculate the likelihood of water residing beneath. 

• Thorough inspections of cavities in the home structure are essential to mitigate potential water damage. 
• Draining cavities such as crawlspaces and subfloor are possible using extraction wands, providing that parts of the building assembly are removed temporarily.
• A method of drying wall spaces is circulating warm air into the cavity using air movers or injectidry systems.
