SERVPRO Offers Quick Response Water Damage Restoration Services
Aquariums are a great way to see exotic fish indigenous to Indian Rocks Beach in your home daily. The fact that they are full of water should leave you with an understanding that an underlying structural weakness could result in this aquarium losing its contents onto your floor. While you might be devastated to lose your pet fish in such a startling fashion, you might also be alarmed at the damage that this volume of water can do to your flooring.
While you might not always correlate an aquarium with impending water damage for your Indian Rocks Beach house, it is something you should keep in the back of your mind. Simple preventative maintenance and inspections can prevent catastrophes like an entire tank from breaking apart and losing its contents. If a water emergency like this occurs (as such accidents do), here is what you can come to expect from our SERVPRO water damage restoration technicians.
First, our SERVPRO team enters your home to see the affected area and begins to assess any damages. The assessment is the foundation for the entire restoration plan, understanding how far spread and involved these issues appear. Water removal is where the restoration process begins, as this poses the most immediate threat of continued damage. Getting rid of this water is typically accomplished by using small portable pumps and wet vacuums, though more massive pumps might get used if the aquarium was large enough.
Drying the floor is going to be the following step, and the process happens through setting up air movers to sweep the remaining moisture from the carpets.
Damage to your flooring is then fully assessed, which might require removal and demolition to make way for new material. Demolition or reconstruction depends significantly on the extent of the water damage and your input into what has to happen for the restoration to be complete.
