You can Prevent some Water Damages!

As water traveled through the roof, it needed to be opened to fully dry the area. Just make sure this is handled by a professional, like SERVPRO!

Water can seriously damage your whole house in a matter of seconds. Sure, a little bit of water doesn’t seem like much, until a pipe leaks and you’ve got your whole house flooded with water! Now its time to call in SERVPRO. But before that, check this out!
Luckily for you, you can prevent water damage from happening in your home with just a few upgrades and little investment:

  1. Waterproof your roof. A leaking roof can mean a leaking ceiling, which can transform into ugly patches and even mold. To avoid this, simply waterproof your roof before the raining season begins.
  2. Check any old or leaking pipes. These are most likely to break and cause a huge flood, make sure to check them and change them or repair them as soon as you possibly can.
  3. Keep an eye out for humid spots. Dark spots on your walls or floors can mean there’s a pipe broken or a leak happening. If you spot any, make sure to call a restoration team or a plumbing service.
  4. Check your sewer system. A black water leak can easily happen too if you don’t take care of the pipes that create the sewer system of your home.

As you can see, preventing water damage can be done by taking proper care of your house every other month, and avoiding any kind of possible water leak.
