SERVPRO For All Your Water Damage Restoration Services in Azusa

Upgrading individual fixtures or your entire plumbing system in your Azusa home is not without the potential for loss incidents. Often you cannot tell there is a leak or a damaged connector or compression fitting without pressurizing the line. Even then, a temporary seal of the line could break loose when a pressure fluctuation occurs around the new hardware. While you cannot prepare for these potential disasters, you can determine the ideal restoration team to help clean up the mess.

While multiple areas could get affected by a fluctuation in system pressure, water damage in Azusa homes requires a fast response to prevent further property loss. Our SERVPRO professionals have READY trailers stocked with air movers, dehumidifiers, extractors, and wet vacuums to ensure that we can quickly manage water loss emergencies and get to thoroughly drying areas of your home where water has migrated.

Extraction is not always necessary, but when it is, we can pull wood trim from the base of affected wall cavities to drill holes in the drywall and weep out standing water. We can cut out a space to access the damaged portion of the line or malfunctioning connector if there is no box to access this area directly. Water leaking out of the holes at the base of the wall can get collected using wet vacuums with squeegee wands. These same drilled holes can allow our Injecti-Dry system to force heated air into the cavity to dry out lingering moisture.

With a team of in-house residential contractors that can join our water restoration technicians at the worksite, we can immediately address the issues with the plumbing alongside mitigation tasks. Our contractors have years of building trades experience. We can identify the malfunction in the new hardware and replace connectors, gaskets, or portions of the pipe as needed to fix the issues at hand.

New plumbing can be a necessity for many older homes, but it is not without the potential risk of malfunction or improper installation. No matter what causes water damage in your home, our SERVPRO of Azusa / Covina team is standing by to help at (626) 387-4111.
