Water damage may not always be on your mind when you see a slow leak, but it doesn't take long to cause irreparable effects to your home.

Fixture Leaks That Cause Water Damage To Your Bloomingdale Home

Many Bloomingdale homeowners strive to repair things that break within their home to the best of their abilities. While this can certainly be a frugal approach to caring for your property, it often allows for damages to occur without your knowledge until you have the opportunity to address the repair in question. A leaking water fixture could produce very little moisture throughout the day, but throughout several days, could saturate cabinetry, flooring, walls, and other exposed surfaces.

While some saturation might not seem like a significant threat to your residence, water damage in Bloomingdale can affect these materials and the affected environment dramatically throughout a few days. While one of the direct effects of persistently damp areas is the production of mold from present spores in the area, our SERVPRO professionals also must contend with the degradation of the exposed materials with oversaturation.

In as little as a single day, materials exposed to this leak from the fixture could oversaturate and begin to swell and bloat. This occurrence can change the composition of these affected materials, causing a degradation that is impossible to overcome with even our advanced technology and equipment. Our SERVPRO professionals, when called early enough, can work quickly to dry out these materials and preserve them when possible.

With our air mover equipment, high-powered bursts of hot air force moisture out of affected materials and into the air as a vapor. We use these machines in conjunction with industrial-strength dehumidifiers to trap this vapor into a collection tray or discharge hose to remove it from the premises. We can use thermal imagery to detect lingering moisture to prevent mold growth and further degradation by ensuring the job gets completed correctly.

Water damage might not always be on your mind when you see a slow leak from a fixture, but it does not take long to cause irreparable effects to your home.
