Our crew working on a huge water damage

Carpet delamination is the separation of the carpet from the backing. This occurs when the carpet has been wet for an extended amount of time. Unfortunately, when this happens the carpet is not salvageable. This is just one of the many reasons that if you have a water damage you should contact SERVPRO immediately. Waiting can cause more damage. 

A busted pipe caused flooding in this Reisterstown residence. The homeowners were away when it  happened so the carpet and padding sat wet for several days. Upon our arrival we found the carpet had begun to delaminate so after gaining  the approval from the adjuster our crews pulled all the carpet and padding.

Drywall becomes very fragile once saturated with water and can easily lose its strength. This picture shows a collapsed ceiling in a split level home that became wet from a leak in the roof.

Drying chambers are often used in water mitigation  to section off  areas so that the air movers and dehumidifiers can concentrate on just the affected area.  Zippers are placed for easy movement in and out of these areas.

This picture shows an example of how water in  carpet has wicked up the wooden bi-fold closet doors subsequently ruining them.  Unfortunately, these types of water marks cannot be cleaned.

Water marks on a ceiling require our team to carefully remove the portion that is affected. Once the water damage is completed the ceiling is repaired and no one ever knows the difference.  

A few inches of water in a basement laundry room may seem overwhelming to some, but certainly not to our IICRC Water Restoration Technicians.
