What Should I Do When a DIY Project Leads to Water Damage?

Many homeowners in Braun Station want to begin DIY renovations inside their homes to cut costs; however, these projects can sometimes lead to water damage due to an unfortunate accident. Here at SERVPRO, our technicians are professionals and never judge you, no matter the source of your problems. "Trust the pros" to help you when it matters. 

Picture a scenario where a bathroom renovation in your Braun Station home leads to water damage. The base of the floor is soaked, as well as the framing of your home. Drywall from the opposite side of the room even absorbed water. In these situations, no matter how they happen, "experienced technicians with the best equipment are needed to mitigate" the damage in your bathroom. 

What Can SERVPRO Do About the Water? 

Our technicians are trained to get the water out of your home as fast as possible. Leaving it to its own devices for too long could cause mold. Our technicians can: 

• Remove any standing water.
• Use moisture meters and infrared cameras to identify lingering moisture.
• Set up drying equipment to help reduce the excess moisture.

Our technicians can use various devices to help remediate the damage. In your home, air blasting tubes, air movers, and axial fans are particularly great choices. 

Will Mold Be a Problem After Using These Devices? 

Many people are unaware of the fact that mold spores are omnipresent. There is no way to be rid of them. However, our technicians can do whatever we can to help ensure a colony does not form. We can:

• Disinfect areas where the water loss caused a problem.
• Set up air scrubbers to help pull any active airborne spores out of the air.
• Use antifungal agents to help repress the growth of any we missed.
