SERVPRO Says Inspect Your Columbus Home for Water Leaks and Prevent Damage

Water Damage Restoration for Your Columbus Home

Damage happens in your Columbus home when water starts pooling where it should not be. Several factors can make this excess water and contribute to a water damage emergency. When you know potential causes, you can take preventative steps to help block leaks. You can also find a problem as soon as it begins and stop it from escalating.
 
When something in your Columbus home has gone awry, and you now are looking at water damage repairs, you don’t want to hesitate to enlist outside help. SERVPRO is a professional water damage remediation company that can assist you after an event like this. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster. You can, therefore, count on us to get the job done quickly and efficiently, so your structure does not suffer from additional damage.
 
Plumbing problems are common, and many times they occur inside your walls so you cannot detect them right away. Many times, pipe joints and hoses fail, and by doing periodic checks under your sinks and other plumbing, areas can help to mitigate some of these plumbing issues.
 
When the water damage in your home is in a wall cavity or underneath the flooring, SERVPRO techs can use moisture meters to find the actual moisture content of various materials. Penetrating moisture meters are equipped with probes which test inside wall cavities and underneath wood flooring. They can test individual layers of materials as well. Non-penetrating meters have sensors that give us readings when we put the meter on the surface of materials.
 
Water damage is more likely to occur in some regions of your home, such as basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Moisture dripping through your concrete foundation can cause leaks in your basement, and air leakage or roof damage can cause water damage in your attic.
 
Also, as your household appliances get older, hoses can weaken, and pipes can rust and crack. Water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators are all susceptible to deterioration, so you should keep a close eye on these appliances when they are a bit older.
