When the carpeting in your home soaks up a lot of water, you need quick acting remediation specialists to remove the water and restore the damage.

Why Choosing Water Damage Mitigation Specialists from SERVPRO can Save Your Home in Irwindale.

Water is one of our most precious resources, and without it, life would end for all of us. When it ends up in places that should always stay dry, that same water can create extensive damage.

Your home's interior can also experience this type of problem. There are many reasons why your home might suffer water damage in Irwindale. SERVPRO technicians can help mitigate everything and make your house "Like it never even happened." quickly and efficiently. We can do this because of our thorough training, extensive experience, and the full range of our equipment. Newly discovered water standing inside your home means you must react quickly, calling us so we can remove the water as soon as possible and start the drying process without any delays.

When you call, giving as many details regarding the situation can help us arrive prepared for your specific case. Mold and other microbes can begin growing in as little as 24 hours after exposure to water. We want to prevent this from happening to your residence. While we can remediate such situations, prevention always saves the homeowners money and aggravation.

Many floor types can handle water, and rapid drying restores it to an acceptable or better condition. Some floor coverings, however, fall apart when soaked in water for more than a few minutes. These typically come in wood by-products, compressed into tiles that we can easily replace with more durable coverings. We pull these up and prepare the floor for new covers by smoothing the surface and drying it out completely. Carpeting's survival rate after exposure to water depends significantly on the type of water and its source, as well as the age of the carpet and the duration of the water's presence. Many times it becomes less expensive to replace the carpeting and pad instead of attempting to restore it. Not only does waterlogged carpet hold debris that escapes vacuuming, but any place exposed to water for more than a short time almost always falls apart, and we must replace it with new.

Once your flooring becomes exposed to water, the damage can become extensive. We beat the effects of water damage regularly by putting our knowledge and experience to work for you. Our ability to scale our equipment and teams to your exact needs means we always have the precise approach needed to mitigate your situation successfully.
