2/8/2018 (Permalink)

It is important to regularly have your roof inspected to prevent severe damage from an unnoticed leak.

Rely on SERVPRO Professionals for Thorough Water Damage Remediation

A roof which is leaking can create severe damage to your home in Largo. Even though a well-constructed roof can hold up for decades or even longer, it is recommended that your roof is inspected every few years. If you do not do this, you could wind up with long-term damage from a leaky roof which goes unnoticed, leading to further deterioration of your property. You could be dealing with various forms of damage such as mold and mildew growth or drywall fatigue.

As soon as you notice a leak in your Largo home’s roof, you need to take care of the problem right away. Water damage like this can quickly escalate and create additional damages. SERVPRO is always standing by when you need us, so do not hesitate to contact us when you have an issue. We are specially trained and experienced in all types of water damage.

After arriving at your home and inspecting the damage, we remove any standing water if necessary with industrial pumps. Once this is done, dehumidification and drying begin. It is essential to perform this step to get rid of any moisture that remains after water removal. Air-movers, dehumidifiers, and fans can be used, and we monitor these machines daily to ensure the drying time is optimal.

If any personal belongings were affected by water, SERVPRO techs clean and sanitize these for you. Air scrubbers can also be used to remove moisture and particles from the air when needed.

The last big step is restoration, which involves replacing materials such as insulation and drywall. This process sometimes is as simple as installing a few panels of drywall, but in severe cases, it could require replacing an entire wall.

If your roof leak went unnoticed for an extended period, the restoration process could take longer, as more damage such as mold growth has taken place. We can, however, take care of this for you as well, ensuring that your home is safe and dry again before we leave.
