When a toilet supply line leaked in a Lexington business they knew just who to call.  Our crew was on site within minutes of the call and we began the drying out process.  The drying process begins by  first removing any standing water and then placing air movers concentrating on the presence of remaining moisture in the area. In addition to air movers dehumidifiers are place to help the drying process. This equipment continues to dry out the affected area until all of the moisture and wetness has been evaporated.  Once the area is dry then the restoration can begin.

Cupping and crowning of hardwood floors results from moisture differences between the top and bottom surfaces of the flooring.  Cupping is when the edges of the floor turn upward and generally will be the first indication of water damage.   Crowning is when the center of the flooring rises while the edges remain stationary. This photo is the result of a broken supply line in a hall bathroom that ran for 8 hours.  As you can see significant cupping had already occurred by the time we arrived and affected the entire first floor.  While the homeowner was upset about the damage they took comfort in the speed in which we began the drying process.

In the past few years mold has made headlines frequently.  They are many misconceptions about mold and your health.  The fact is there are mold spores all around us everyday; which is not a bad thing.  Mold becomes an issue when it colonizes and starts affecting your health and property.  Those with a compromised immune system as well as the very young and old are more susceptible to mold.  Without proper remediation mold can grow rapidly causing serious damage to your home and contents. This photo is an example of what can happen when mold colonizes in a home basement after a water loss.

Few things grab our attention like a late spring-summer thunderstorm. Steamy temperatures and turbulent atmospheric conditions often conspire to produce amazing visual pyrotechnics and house-shaking booms. They can also produce damaging winds, hail and tree damage and this is what happened to this home in Denton.  After an unusually wet spring season many of the trees root systems were weakened as in the case of this  tree.  After an afternoon thunderstorm rolled into the area the wind knocked a tree on the roof of this home.  Fortunately no one was injured and we were able to repair the damaged roof and the owner's home back to preloss condition

After the region experienced higher than normal about of rainfall over several weeks.  Many of the area's businesses began to experience problems from flooding and mold to downed trees and sewer backups.  This particular property experienced a sewer back up after the city's water treatment facility could no longer handle the volume of water being pumped in daily.  Several inches of water were in the building especially in the kitchen area.  Our crew was on site same day and was able to remove the contaminated water, dry out the property and sanitize the area all while the companies' doors were only closed one day.

Did you know just because you have experienced some water damage that doesn't necessarily mean you will loose your hardwood floors?  If the floor has not started to cup which is when excessive moisture on the underside causes expansion and raised edges of the board there is a change we can save it.  This home in Arcadia we used our mat drying system to save the floor. Mat drying is the process in which the machine pulls moisture right through the surface of the floor.  Restoring versus replacing saves you not only time but money and gets you back to preloss conditions sooner

The sprinkler system activated without cause and drenched the corridor of this nursing home in Thomasville. We quickly arrived and suctioned up the standing water, disconnected the vinyl floor molding to expedite drying, and set up drying devices to restore an acceptable moisture level in this facility rapidly.

The malfunctioning microwave in this Thomasville kitchen spewed oily soot from the meat onto the ceiling, walls, and appliances. Our SERVPRO Fire & Smoke Technician used sponges and detergents to clean up most of the residue. The ceiling, because it was a rough popcorn type, needed a repainting.

This photo depicts mold growth in a crawl space, the result of excess moisture. We fogged an antimicrobial agent to exterminate these fungi and set up an encapsulation service to reduce ambient moisture and humidity in this enclosed space.

The slow leak from the water line eventually was too much weight for the drywall ceiling to bear. We were called in to stop the leak, remove the damaged panels, dry out the trusses and spray an antimicrobial product. We left the house dry and ready for a new ceiling.
