Water Damage From Sprinkler System

An automatic sprinkler system for your Addison home can be a real time saver and also keep your lawn and gardens looking great. Things can go wrong with an in-ground sprinkler system, some of which result in water damage to your home. Our water damage mitigation crew is ready to help you recover from this not-uncommon problem.

An automatic sprinkler system can cause water damage to your Addison home due to a number of reasons. Perhaps an underground leak saturates the ground around your foundation, forcing water to seep into your lower levels. Maybe the pre-set pattern sends water splashing through an open window or repeatedly on the same section of siding until it leaks through. No matter what is behind the problem, the result is the same. You have excess water saturating building materials in your home. We know how to remove moisture and dry out your home’s structural components.

The chances are good that the water damage done by the sprinkler system was not immediately obvious. By the time you call us, the water may have been soaking the walls, floors, or foundations for a while. It is important that as soon as you realize that the water invaded you get SERVPRO in to help.

We arrive ready to assess the scenario and get to work immediately. SERVPRO has the equipment necessary on each service vehicle, avoiding delays. If the water is more than 2 inches deep, we use submersible pumps to remove it. Then our high-efficiency extractors take over, pulling water out of carpeting and hard to reach crevices. If hardwood floors are wet, we might use drying mats to pull water vapor out, heated air passing over the surface to encourage moisture to move out of the flooring.

Throughout the process we measure the moisture content of all surfaces and fixtures, using the baseline levels to determine drying goals. We monitor the dropping levels to inform us when the drying effort completes. As we work through the steps, SERVPRO crew members aim to dry the space out completely. We also use EPA registered disinfectants to inhibit microbial growth and prevent the development of unpleasant odors. Once our crew completes drying out the affected areas, you can investigate the sprinkler issues with the vendor who installed them.
