Regardless whether it's faulty plumbing or an aging dishwasher, Team SERVPRO is ready to remediate water damage in your home.

How Can Farmington Homeowners Mitigate Water Damage to Their Homes?

We cannot predict when a water pipe will break, a tap left on, or a dishwasher/washing machine will spread water all over your Farmington home. These things happen because we are forgetful or aging plumbing weakens and allows hundreds of gallons of water to spread over floors, ruining flooring materials or seeping into the room below.

SERVPRO can help with water restoration and repair in Farmington homes and businesses. We can respond quickly and begin water removal and drying before extensive secondary damage occurs to porous materials. Carpets, under padding, drywall, and compressed wood products are particularly susceptible to water. They can absorb water, swell and lose structural integrity if the water is not quickly removed.

Many residents ask us what they can do to minimize these events and protect their homes. We have collected a few ideas for homeowners to consider to help them prevent water damage:

• Never leave a tap running if you are not in the room
• Replace older connecting hoses on dishwashers and washing machines
• Keep your home warmer during cold weather to prevent freezing pipes
• Keep interior doors open to facilitate the flow of warm air to all rooms in the house
• Install electronic temperature sensors to warn of furnace failures
• Install moisture sensors under sinks and near appliances to provide early warning of a water leak
• Have someone monitor your home if you will be away for long absences
• Turn off the main water valve to your home if you are absent for long periods

SERVPRO provides water removal services, including repairing and restoring contents and structures damaged during a water leak. For damaged floors, walls, ceilings, or basements, our broad experience can assist clients with every water event.
