Water Damage to Your Newington Home Can Pose a Serious Threat to Your Health

Residents of Newington often risk their health and the safety of their homes by failing to address water damage and leaks promptly. Whenever there is standing water in your home, you risk creating a suitable environment for bacteria to multiply, including mold. Calling a professional water restoration team can help you resolve the situation and set the stage for a healthy home.

In Newington, water restoration services are our specialty at SERVPRO. Our team arrives at your home once you call our 24/7 hotline and share your situation. Regardless of appearances, all households benefit from a thorough evaluation following a water event. Sometimes the damage is not apparent, such as when drywall soaks up water and becomes weaker. Still, our water restoration equipment and technicians can help decide regarding the scope of the damage.

Where does water damage hide?

Depending on your specific circumstances, water might collect in your basement or even your crawl space. Using advanced imaging, such as infrared technology, our SERVPRO technicians can help determine where the problem areas are in your home. As necessary, we tap into our expertise and industry best practices to pump water from under your home and restore normal humidity levels. Among the equipment we use to achieve this goal, you can find:

• Submersible pumps
• Air movers and circulators
• Dehumidifiers

When space is an issue and equipment does not fit, our crew may explore creating a point of entry above the crawl space or utilizing a flex house to aid the extraction process. Throughout this process, we typically wear personal protective equipment to protect us from bacteria and debris living under your home.

Relying on our SERVPRO of Newington/ Central Hartford for help is a sound decision. Our team's experience and knowledge help mitigate your loss in terms of time and money. Call us at (860) 667-9191 and let our team leave your home "Like it never even happened."
