Storms Happen in Phoenix. The Cactus Points the Way for Help--SERVPRO

SERVPRO Inspects, Removes Water, and Verifies for Dryness Post Storms

Summers in Arizona can be hot, and leaving the windows open to let in some fresh air while going for a short trip shopping or visiting friends can work wonders to freshen up a home. Sudden storms happen increasingly often, and this can let rain water into open windows. This water can add up quickly, absorbing into the carpeting, walls, and everything in your Phoenix house.
 
Phoenix homeowners who allow this water to remain are setting themselves up for flood damage. Rainwater might look unimportant as it slowly soaks into your floor, but there is no such thing as minor flood damage. Determining how far the rainwater has seeped, and how much has entered into your walls through the window's frame are difficult to ascertain without proper equipment. SERVPRO's technicians have the required equipment. They also have received certifications from the IICRC and know exactly how to use these pieces of high-tech hardware to benefit you and your family.
 
When a homeowner calls us about flood damage inside their home, we always respond within four hours to their call. The sooner we begin, the less damage we need to mitigate and attend to in restoring your home to its pre-damaged state. While the need for pump trucks remains unlikely in this situation, our other equipment is also ready for any size job.
 
We need dehumidifiers, air blowers, and other equipment, including sensors, to ensure the location and elimination of all traces of water. Mold can begin to grow within 48 hours, posing risks to your home's structure if allowed to remain. Other types of damage from minor flooding include water stains, swelling of wooden fixtures, and corrosion of metal fittings in your home's interior.
 
If draperies are also affected and face the possibility of bleeding and other types of damage, we can remove these and have them cleaned at our facility. Window frames are designed to keep water out and can suffer damaging effects when exposed to rainwater on areas that were designed to remain dry. The legs of furniture in the area can stain carpeting if wooden and bleed onto carpeting. For every one of these situations and more, SERVPRO has an answer.
