1/17/2022 (Permalink)

Water leaks and pipe bursts needs addressing as soon as possible as possible to minimize damage.

Repairs and Cleanup Play a Part in Returning a Raleigh Structure to Pre-Loss Condition After a Water Emergency

Physical repairs and build-back are necessary steps in making water damage incidents "Like it never even happened." Our SERVPRO professionals help with a fast response and effective mitigation. 

Controlled Demolition of Wet Materials

There are many types of water damage repair Raleigh homes might need after loss incidents. Several surfaces can be quickly overwhelmed and damaged when plumbing becomes compromised within a wall assembly. Our general contractor license helps us to complete this work.

Emergency Repairs of Plumbing

We must address water leaks and pipe bursts of any severity as soon as possible as possible. Not only does this swift action ensure water service restoration to the house, but the damage also does not worsen while restoration gets underway. Once covering building materials are removed, the source of the water damage can be reached and repaired. 

Thorough Drying 

Complete drying of the wall assembly does not happen immediately. Even with some of the more advanced tools available to our team, continual monitoring of the drying process is vital to ensure the proper steps to prevent more significant degradation of exposed building materials or secondary effects like mold growth. Some equipment used for this process include:

• Positive pressure system
• Centrifugal air movers
• Desiccant and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers

Reconstruction and Build-Back

Once much of the drying and restoration has been completed, our SERVPRO team must get started on replacing any construction element that was removed and discarded. This process is another area where our contractor license benefits, as we can seamlessly transition between restoration and drying to build-back and reconstruction. 

Wall assemblies housing utilities can become severely damaged after burst pipes or leaks. A fast response of our SERVPRO of East Raleigh / Zebulon team can help to ensure appropriate mitigation gets started as soon as possible. Our experienced team is ready 24/7 at (919) 250-0455.
