Roswell Flooding from Storms or Tubs Means Water Damage and Cleanup--Call SERVPRO

Roswell Homes Suffer from Unwanted Water Displacements

Summertime is family time, young and old spending time together at the grandparents. Everyone is distracted, catching up, cooking, planning tomorrow’s events, and the youngsters take full advantage. When the unsupervised children’s escapades result in water flowing where it should not, SERVPRO is faster to solve that disaster, getting the family reunion back on track.
 
Grandma and grandpa finally remodeled their bathroom, adding a hot tub spa. A group of cousins decided to fill it up and take a swim, causing flood damage to the extended family’s Roswell home base over the holiday weekend. Fortunately, we have lots of experience restoring master bed and bathrooms after this type of adventure. Just when you need fast and sure help, we are there with the equipment, the technicians, and a plan.
 
Powerful water extractors, in the hands of trained SERVPRO crew members, pull moisture out of vast expanses of carpeting. We take care not to stretch the carpet nor separate the fibers from the backing, a possibility when inexperienced individuals wield the wet vacuum. Typically the padding is harder to dry and inexpensive to replace, so we remove it and prop up the carpeting. Air movers positioned to best advantage, direct flows above and below the carpeting. Dehumidifiers assist in reducing the moisture.
 
The restoration team evaluates the water flow within and out of the bathroom. Tile floors are not reliably watertight, so we look for leaking onto the subfloor and along joints that send water to lower levels of the house. Walls and ceilings below the bath receive a close inspection, seeking areas where water possibly migrated.
 
Any indication that the flood damage moved beyond the master suite is added to the comprehensive SERVPRO recovery plan. Water damage, wherever it migrated, must be remediated within 48 hours, or less, to avoid secondary harm to structure and contents. Flood water from a bathtub classifies as gray, or somewhat contaminated. Soap and skin cells mixed into the typical spa bath water provide the moisture and nourishment mold spores need to grow. We train our technicians to recognize this and manage the cleanup, disposal, and final sanitation accordingly.
