Disaster Mitigation Pros Can Eliminate Water Damage and Odors in Farmington Homes

One appliance that Farmington homeowners rely on to work at all times is the water heater. However, it can be easy to overlook the condition of the anode rod or the age of the heater itself. These factors can corrode the tank, which can cause large amounts of water to saturate the surrounding area in a finished basement.

If you need water cleanup for your Farmington residence, SERVPRO is ready to answer the call with rapid-response mitigation services that return your home to a preloss condition. SERVPRO’s fast response strives to save the structure and contents of your home from water damage, including documents, electronics, keepsakes, and upholstery.

Why Does SERVPRO’s 24/7 Availability Matter?

Water damage requires an especially timely response due to how quickly the damage can worsen after saturation occurs:

• Within 24 hours of exposure, surfaces can tarnish, and porous materials can swell, including drywall. Inks and dyes may bleed and stain nearby surfaces.
• Within the first 48 hours after exposure, mold can begin to proliferate. Between two to seven days after saturation, paint can blister, wood flooring can warp and swell, and metals start to deteriorate.
• After more than a week, professional intervention is a must to restore your home.

How Does SERVPRO Get Rid of Water Damage Odors?

SERVPRO Odor Control Technicians (OCTs) can use (ULV) ultra low-volume fogging in tandem with EPA-registered antimicrobials to address water damage in hard-to-reach areas in your basement. This type of fogging releases water- or solvent-based deodorizers that bind with odor-causing particles to eliminate unpleasant, musty smells that often come from water damage.

SERVPRO of The Farmington Valley offers mitigation services that keep homes looking, “Like it never even happened.” Call (860) 675-4500 to start the cleanup process within hours of your initial contact.
