When San Antonio Bathrooms Need Professional Water Removal Services

Bathrooms are common places for water leaks to occur. You can trust SERVPRO to professionally restore your home.

Taking Care of Bathroom Water Removal in San Antonio

While bathrooms are well-equipped to handle large amounts of moisture, that does not mean it can withstand every drop of water. It only takes a small crack in your pipes or vulnerabilities in your shower installation to allow for moisture and microbes to damage this vulnerable part of the home. You can rest knowing there is a team that can take care of consumer-grade products, not designed to handle water damage, especially not behind structures.

If your San Antonio bathroom needs water removal services fast, IICRC-certified SERVPRO technicians are available to restore your home to a preloss condition. SERVPRO technicians receive extensive training in water damage mitigation, drying, and cleanup for the benefit of homeowners who have suffered a disaster. The goal is to restore a structure while preserving as much as can be safely salvaged after damage occurs. 

Checking Your Shower for Water Damage

• Test the flooring. Is it soft or squishy when you step on it? Do you notice dips or other peculiarities? If your home has a plywood subfloor, water may have affected it. Without fast action, the wood can eventually rot and create safety issues for your home. 

• Use your nose.Have you noticed any musty or damp odors in your bathroom, even after cleaning? There may be water damage behind your walls.

• Check for mold.One of the most obvious signs of water damage to your bathroom is mold growth. While you can remove mold from surfaces yourself, the chances are that there is more in the structure if it was able to grow on a surface in your bathroom. 

• Check your walls.Do you notice any warping, softness, or crumbled drywall? There may be water damage lingering nearby. Paint and wallpaper can stain or start bubbling and peeling from exposure.

Should you notice any of these signs, have a professional evaluate your home immediately for water damage. 

SERVPRO's Extraction Tools

This team uses cutting-edge extraction tools to handle a variety of water damage situations. For hard-to-reach moisture from leaks or inside structures, portable extraction wands are the go-to tool. The extraction process must be thorough to ensure more effective drying and disinfection. 

If damage to walls behind your shower is extensive, some demolition may be required to preserve the integrity of the structure. If contents need removing from the property for any reason, we only perform it with documentation of the removal and the informed consent of insurance adjusters and property owners. 

SERVPRO of Braun Station can leave your home looking, "Like it never even happened." When you need disaster cleanup, you can call (210) 267-2159 to have a team at your residence within hours.
