What to Do When a Leak Is Suspected
If you discover, or even suspect, that there is a water leak in your home, you will benefit greatly from some professional assistance. And it will take more than just a plumber. A plumber can fix the leak but can they find it? And what must be done to prevent mold?
This is when you need the help of a professionally certified water damage restoration company, like SERVPRO Of Mountain View. Our water damage specialists have the necessary tools to pinpoint any leak and remediate any damage the leak has caused. Structural drying is always necessary to prevent mold from growing. Simply removing what is wet and replacing it without proper drying is a recipe for disaster. In nature, wet always goes to dry if it can. Any moisture that is not removed from structural materials (wallboard, subflooring, wall studs, etc.) will be absorbed into any replacement materials and may result in mold growth.
