Drywall Water Damage Restoration for Your New Haven Home with SERVPRO

Contact SERVPRO to effectively tackle the water damage in your property.

Signs of Water-Damaged Drywall in New Haven Properties

Water damage in New Haven homes can stem from many sources. Regardless of the cause, responding quickly to water damage is crucial since the damage from excess water continues to spread until the source is identified and the affected materials are fully restored. When water damage occurs, it’s likely to affect the drywall making up your home’s walls and ceilings. While drywall is sturdy, it can quickly deteriorate and become soft and weak once it is saturated, thus losing its structural integrity.

Drywall water damage restoration in New Haven homes is possible. However, this depends on the water category it is exposed to and how long it was exposed. For example, with category three water on drywall, replacement is necessary. Since water damage is only sometimes apparent, a professional is mainly needed to assist. SERVPRO quickly responds to water damage emergencies and helps identify any hidden moisture in your home.

Signs of moisture damage on drywall:

• Discoloration, such as brown or yellow stains, on the surface of the wall
• Sagging or bulging can compromise its structural integrity
• Peeling paint or wallpaper
• Visible mold is a clear sign of moisture damage
• Warping or buckling

Steps To Restore Water Damage on Drywall

Using a non-penetrating moisture meter, our crews identify areas of moisture accumulation before they become visible to the naked eye. The device helps prevent the unnecessary removal of drywall by detecting areas of moisture that can be dried out and restored. We also perform a visual inspection by making a giant hole to check for water on the supporting studs.

Fixing water damage on drywall involves several steps:

• Removing and replacing any contaminated sections
• Thoroughly cleaning and decontaminating the affected area
• Drying the space

When removing drywall, our crews cut out the affected panels. The restoration team uses drying equipment, including dehumidifiers and air movers, to dry out the other affected area. Sometimes the affected area may require cleaning and disinfection using antimicrobial agents and specialized cleaning solutions to prevent microbial growth. We finalized by replacing damaged drywall and repainting the wall.

Our water mitigation efforts are second to none, ensuring you limit the destruction to your property to get back to everyday routines.

Dealing With Burst Pipes in Your Basement

Broken piping can happen at any time anywhere in your home or business. Much of your plumbing is hidden from plain sight, so you might overlook an issue until the damage presents itself. Should you notice staining, musty odors, or damp building materials, these are all indicators that you have a water damage issue developing. Some of the other telltale signs there is a piping leak that must get addressed include:

• Standing water below sinks in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, etc.
• An unexplained spike in your water bill
• Strange noises coming from the pipes like bubbling or whistling
• Water that is discolored or has a funny smell
• Changes in your water pressure

SERVPRO features IICRC-certified water restoration technicians (WRT) who can investigate to find the source of your water problem. We ensure the issue gets fixed as we begin water remediation to ensure no further damage occurs. Wherever there are unsalvageable building materials, we use controlled demolition to remove them, carefully dispose of them, and then replace them with brand new materials. 

Drying and Dehumidification are Critical in Any Water Restoration Project

Our goal here at SERVPRO is to make it “Like it never even happened.” When called to water-related emergencies, a big piece of the puzzle to reaching our goals includes our drying and dehumidification efforts. We follow our tested and proven methods to help us bring your interior back to preloss condition with the help of industrial-grade equipment and knowledge of drying theory. We also have access to thousands of pieces of equipment which allows us to scale each project as needed!

• Powerful extractors, both portable and truck-mounted, allow our crew to remove standing water and pull moisture from carpeting, flooring, etc.
• Air movers, industrial fans, drying mats, and other equipment allow us to enhance evaporation to reduce overall drying time. 
• Dehumidification equipment help to cut back on relative humidity (RH) to help boost evaporation rates throughout the work zone.

There are two common types of dehumidifiers you may see our crew using for emergency water restoration projects. One option is the desiccant dehumidifier that works using desiccants, which are chemicals that aid in pulling out and absorbing moisture from the air. 

Regardless of the cause of water damage within your property, you need skilled technicians to restore everything to pre-water event condition. Look to SERVPRO of New Haven for water repair and restoration – contact our team 24/7 by dialing (203) 234-1100. We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster!

Water Damage in Your New Haven Home Doesn't Need to be Permanent

Let SERVPRO of New Haven fix it, Don’t stress it.

Mitigation & Restoration after Water Damage 

Often, minor water damage doesn't seem 'that bad,' leaving many homeowners thinking that painting over the discoloration is sufficient. SERVPRO wants homeowners in New Haven to know that if any damage is more than superficial, any paint covering anything will most likely end up providing only temporary relief.

To protect your home in New Haven from water damage, we recommend assessing the area after any event involving the saturation of walls, floors, or other structural components. Because water gets into places you cannot see unaided, many customers are surprised when we show water or dampened areas underneath cabinetry.

Carpeting and its padding can retain tremendous amounts of moisture and slowly release it, damaging flooring and other nearby building materials. We can assist in undoing the damage by:

• Extracting hidden water from different cavities,
• Pre-treating surfaces against microbial infestation,
• Cleaning and rebuilding your property, and
• Providing standard deodorization techniques.

Getting the water out of enclosed or hidden spaces means we can dry everything faster. Less water means less damage and fewer locations. We have specialized equipment that helps us locate trapped water. We use the least destructive methods to open such areas when releasing trapped water.

Mold is one of the worst types of secondary water damage. Pre-treating susceptible surfaces with powerful antimicrobial agents keep such microbes from flourishing and causing problems. They do not require much to colonize an area inside your residence.

We clean everything up as we continue working, including as we begin rebuilding any structures that the water destroyed. Extensive damage from water can happen slowly over time, possibly due to a slow leak. Our General Contractor License number is 0635648.

Moisture can leave your home with a musty, off-smell. Some homeowners suspect water has caused damage in hidden areas of their homes because of this tell-tale scent. We use different ways to counteract these odors.

Water Damage in Your New Haven Basement

8/24/2022 (Permalink)

We're Faster To Any Size Disaster.

What It Takes for Timely Resolution of Water Damage Incidents in New Haven

Most water damage in the home is in the bathroom or the kitchen. Usually, leaks and spills require mopping up and potentially replacing the wall in front of the pipe that leaked. However, there are times that the leak went unnoticed or occurred in an area of the house, such as the basement, which you may not visit regularly. In these cases, you may need to use different methods to restore your home to pre-damaged condition. 

Dealing with this considerable spill water damage in New Haven requires specialized extraction techniques and equipment. In the winter months, a massive spill requires even more care due to freezing temperatures requiring the house to remain heated so that the water does not freeze within the home or in the pipes. 

Depending on the amount of water and the location of the spill, SERVPRO technicians may need various types of extraction equipment. 

Portable Extractors

Portable extractors like light wants are used for smaller amounts of water extraction or hard-to-reach places after technicians complete the heavy-duty extraction, using them in conjunction with truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps. 

Truck Mounted Extractors

Truck-mounted extractors use powerful vacuums to suck out the water, working off the work truck's fuel, requiring no on-site power. For standing water in a basement, this type of extractor is ideal as long as there is access through a basement door or window, as the hose length can be an issue. Truck mount waste tanks hold between 70 and 100 gallons. 

Pumps

Electric submersible pumps and high-pressure pumps are the two pumps most likely used when a basement has more than two inches of standing water. Electrical submersible pumps, commonly referred to as sub pumps are the most typical; however, if the basement requires a high amount of lift, the high-pressure pump may be a better option since it gives a stronger discharge. These pumps do not handle solids well but can move 1000 to 6000 gallons of water per minute. 

Regardless of the extraction equipment used, SERVPRO water restoration technicians safely dispose of wastewater according to local and state ordinances.

Water Damage in New Haven Means SERVPRO to the Rescue

6/27/2022 (Permalink)

When you cannot stop water and it ends up all over your kitchen or bathroom, call SERVPRO to clean up.

When Water Damage Happens Under Cabinets in New Haven Homes

The two rooms in the house where most water damage happens are the bathroom and the kitchen. One thing both of these areas have in common is built-in furnishings such as kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities. How does removal happen when this type of water disaster occurs in New Haven?

When water damage happens in New Haven homes that affect a room with cabinets, you need professional mitigation. That is when you call SERVPRO because our technicians come to the rescue. We scope the damaged areas in your home to track the migration path of the water using our moisture detection equipment. In most cases, the toe kick (the board around the bottom of the cabinet where it meets the floor) requires removal to allow for water extraction and adequate airflow for drying. 

Equipment and Techniques for Under-Cabinet Water Removal

The floors and walls under cabinetry can be a challenge. There are sometimes multiple layers of sheetrock. Some cabinets have a backing material, while others are directly next to the sheetrock. Either way, extractor wands assist in the fast removal of moisture and help prep the area for the setup of air movers.

When a wall receives saturation, such as in the case of a pipe break or supply line leak, SERVPRO technicians often drill weep holes into the walls to assist with drainage and drying. In cases where the sheetrock has non-restorable damage, it is cut away to halt any further moisture wicking. 

Specialized Drying Equipment Lessens Loss

The type of materials that make up the cabinetry determines how restorable the unit is. Composite or pressed wood tends to fare poorly upon extended exposure to water and can be a loss, while hardwood cabinets often have a better outcome to restoration methods. SERVPRO technicians use equipment such as the InjectiDry, a unique configuration of hoses that forces warm, dry air under the cabinets, wall cavities, and other compact spaces as needed to ensure they dry completely. 

SERVPRO of New Haven at (203) 234-1100 has the equipment and experienced, certified technicians who can make the water damage in your home seem "Like it never even happened."

How Can SERVPRO Protect Water-Damaged Contents in Hamden Homes?

3/5/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO water damage restoration techs have all the equipment and experience needed for the service your property needs.

Our mitigation solutions prevent greater harm to the personal belongings of Hamden homeowners.

Between the time that a disaster impacts your home and when restorers first arrive, a lot of damage can occur. We prioritize a fast response after the first notice of loss to have experienced professionals available to help as soon as possible.

The Importance of Mitigation

Water mitigation for Hamden homes is critical because, at this stage, we introduce all of the initial restoration actions that make later recovery efforts faster and more efficient. We also prioritize the pressing concerns of the property that might cause irreparable harm, like containing moving water and protecting the contents of the house.

Keeping a Content Inventory and Damage Catalog

Personal belongings management is important when our team first arrives at water-damaged properties. So many of your contents and furniture in the home can be in harm’s way, making it one of the focuses of our team to relocate at-risk objects to a safe place on the premises. We can also individually inspect items for damage and catalog these findings in a detailed account of the loss incident.

Off-Site Recovery Solutions

When contents become too heavily damaged to be protected by relocation, we must consider what is needed to clean them and restore them to their original condition. In some situations, our pack-out process can be the best option. We move items to our nearby SERVPRO facility for multiple advanced recovery solutions like:

• Drying
• Deodorization
• Surface Cleaning
• Disinfection

Because we are faster to disasters of all types and sizes, we are experienced with the necessary equipment and actions to help your property return to preloss condition. Water damage is one of the more common callouts for our professionals, so our SERVPRO of New Haven team stays ready to respond with pre-stocked production vehicles equipped with air movers, extractors, and other drying equipment. Call today at (203) 234-1100.

Are Wet Vacuums Ideal for Extraction in New Haven Homes?

1/9/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO water damage restoration specialists use the latest technology and equipment for every disaster. Call now!

Vacuums are a versatile tool for water removal in New Haven properties.

Water damage incidents have our professionals busy throughout the year. As a common callout for the SERVPRO team, we have efficient and effective water mitigation tools to help manage threatening conditions as soon as we arrive. Some of these powerful machines include wet vacuums.

How Often Are Wet Vacuums Used?

Considering the frequent need for water removal in New Haven homes, SERVPRO professionals need to stay diligently prepared to help when compromising conditions exist. While submersible pumps and extractors have a place in flood and standing water scenarios, few units in our inventory have the versatility and potential range as wet vacuums do. They do not require considerable power, making them ideal when portable electricity is needed through trailered generators and spider boxes. 

Attachments and Extensions

Multiple attachments can help to improve the function of a wet vacuum in a restoration project. By extending the vacuum's reach or allowing it to reach moisture trapped below the surface of the flooring, we can improve the efficiency of post-water damage restoration and recovery. Some of the most common of these implements include:

• Light Wands 
• Weighted Extractors 
• Squeegee Wands 

Are Pumps Better for Extraction?

Pumps are among the workhorses for substantial extraction needs. Electric submersibles and trash pumps are both capable of managing hundreds of gallons per minute, making them the preferred choice when there are several inches or feet of standing water in the house. Wet vacuums still complete the process in many situations.

Water removal is one of the concentrated and immediate efforts our SERVPRO of New Haven team implements when we begin restoring area homes after disasters. We have multiple devices to assist with this effort, but few have the versatility and mobility of wet vacuums, a staple of our mitigation process. Call today at (203) 234-1100.

Roof Leaks, Burst Pipes, and Malfunctions Cause Most Water-Related Issues in Hamden.

In Hamden, most water leaks are caused by one of a relative handful of causes. These causes include, among other things, roof leaks, ruptured pipes, appliance malfunctions, and clogged drainage networks. Regardless of how water issues happen, it is paramount to have them cleaned up quickly and effectively by trained professionals.

SERVPRO, a water cleanup firm in Hamden, knows that swiftly locating and dealing with the sources of leaks can save homeowners both time and money.

The Most Common Sources of Residential Water Leaks Are:

• Roof/ceiling leaks that result from storm damage, roof deterioration due to age, and clogged gutters filled with leaves and other debris
• Failing and burst pipes in unheated/less heated parts of your home, like basements, that can rather rapidly fill your residence with gallons of water
• Old/defective appliances, including washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and hot water heater tanks that can lead to basement flooding or standing water on your home’s first floor
• Blocked, deteriorated, or faulty drainage networks that prevent water from draining out of your house 

SERVPRO’s water removal services and water damage repairs can usually address all of these water damage-fostering problems.

So, whenever you need water cleanup or restoration work done in the Hamden area, rest assured that your helpful neighbors at SERVPRO of New Haven can likely help you. No matter what time of the day or night you need us, we are here to assist you at (203) 234-1100.

SERVPRO Comes to Your New Haven Property to Begin Water Mitigation as a Way to Limit Cost and Secondary Damage

Do you have drips within your home that you keep putting off until later? You may even have a slow leak somewhere, and the damage is multiplying behind the scenes.

SERVPRO wants all New Haven residents to know that they can limit the damage by taking the initiative to call our team for water mitigation and extraction services. We’re available 24/7!

Broken piping, regional flooding, or a faulty appliance are all causes for alarm. You need water mitigation in New Haven, and you need it fast. Even though you may have only noticed a small amount of water or dripping here and there, the moisture migrates and weakens materials or brings on the potential for harmful mold growth. These are some areas that you can check to see if you have any potential water damage that we can take care of for you:

• Window frames that are warmed or missing seals
• Appliance water tubes that have jostled loose or deteriorated
• Water piping located in your basement
• Piping that handles wastewater removal
• AC unit condensation coils
• Areas around your sink fixtures, tubs, showers, and toilets

Even an innocent drip can turn into material degradation or corrosion. It is best to call in trained technicians, such as our IICRC-certified team at SERVPRO. We have moisture detection tools and drying equipment to help address the issue and get to the root cause of the problem. In areas where materials are unsalvageable, we are happy to perform controlled demolition to replace them with all new materials.

Water damage restoration is no easy task. Call SERVPRO for fast and immediate water damage restoration services needed for your home.

When You Require Water Mitigation, SERVPRO Arrives Fast to Begin Working on Your New Haven Property

During an emergency water damage event, moisture can get trapped in the tightest spaces and areas unseen to the naked eye. Once surface water starts migrating into materials and gets trapped, it causes even more issues – including the onset of costly secondary damage and mold infestation. Water damage remediation means mitigating damage before it has time to turn into a much larger event. SERVPRO is there to handle everything from start to finish, so your New Haven home gets brought back to pre-water damage condition “Like it never even happened.”

During our process for water mitigation in New Haven, SERVPRO focuses on treatment strategies, water removal services, and moisture detection. Not only will the standing water be a concern, but we also take the time to address trapped moisture pockets within your walls or under your flooring.

Speaking of flooring, SERVPRO takes measures to restore rather than replace wherever possible. Should you have hardwood flooring, we may bring in drying mats to better facilitate water clean-up. It is important to remember that:

• Oversaturation and prolonged moisture can cause hardwood flooring to bloat or warp. Once this happens, floors become challenging to restore, and water damage repairs are the best option. 
• Proper placement of drying mats allows us to maximize output, thus enhancing our ability to save the flooring materials.
• Tenting is a helpful process that allows us to remove trapped moisture while monitoring drying progress continually.
• Should we find that restoration of your flooring or subfloor below is not possible, we can begin controlled demolition services to repair and replace it with new materials completely. 

SERVPRO of New Haven is the company you want on your side for water mitigation in an emergency. Call us for rapid response at (203) 234-1100.

Why Is it Important to Get Professional Help for Water Restoration of Your New Haven Home?

Professional help is right around the corner. SERVPRO water damage restoration team is top-notch. We are ready 24/7 365 days a year.

SERVPRO's Water Damage Restoration Service Saves New Haven Homes from Long-Term Issues

How water will affect the structure and contents of your home depends on two factors- the permeance of the material and the exposure time. While the permeance of the material can't be controlled, SERVPRO techs work hard to reduce the exposure time during water restoration of your New Haven home. 

SERVPRO experts use various scientific principles to speed up drying during water damage restoration of your New Haven home to limit the exposure time. The faster the structure and contents dry, the less permanent damage they will incur during water damage remediation. One of how SERVPRO techs speed up the drying is by using air moving equipment. As water evaporates from the surface, the air above it becomes saturated and cooler. Air movers replace this boundary layer of humid and cool air with warmer, drier air and speed up the drying during water damage remediation.  

Type of Air Movers SERVPRO Techs uses During Water Cleanup in New Haven.

SERVPRO Techs use the following two types of air movers during water damage repairs in New Haven-

• Centrifugal- Produce higher static pressure and are great if the airflow needs to be directed to a specific point. They are sometimes used to 'float' carpets blowing air under them and speeding up the drying process. 
• Axial- Can move a large air volume, but the pressure is significantly lower than centrifugal equipment. Axial air movers can cover a larger area compared to centrifugal air movers.

Water Cleanup Needs to Happen Fast in New Haven Homes

3/1/2021 (Permalink)

Water restoration is no easy task. SERVPRO technicians are trained and experienced with the job that is needed for your property.

New Haven Residents Rely on SERVPRO for Expert Water Cleanup

When it comes to water damage, the restoration process is often more than merely drying a structure. There may be problems with: 

• Water behind walls
• Seepage
• Warped wood flooring
• Delaminated tile
• Saturated carpet

SERVPRO handles New Haven water cleanup in an organized fashion, and it begins with testing the water. Treating water that has aged beyond 24-hours or has the potential to contain bacteria gets accomplished through professional biocides, and there are specific formulas developed for use on porous and nonporous surfaces.

Extraction is a phase of the restoration that typically gets extra attention as the more moisture that gets removed through the use of their equipment lessens the time needed to dry the structure. During this time, any ruined building materials such as sheetrock that wicked water gets removed through careful, controlled demolition only removes the damaged portion. The techs determine the location of moisture areas within the residence through the use of their scoping equipment that includes devices such as infrared cameras and probes.

SERVPRO of New Haven at (203) 234-1100 brings their years of experience and professional equipment to handle any size water cleanup in New Haven properties.

What Tools Work Best for Basement Extractions?

10/28/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of New Haven is the team to call when you need reliable water mitigation services.

Water in the basement of New Haven homes can be a challenge, but our SERVPRO team can help with advanced tools. 

Water damages happening anywhere in your New Haven home can leave you with a dire need for immediate actions like extraction and drying. While many homeowners believe that water disasters can get resolved using conventional drying approaches like absorbing water with towels and mopping up the floors, this is rarely the case. Especially in more challenging areas of your home like the basement or attic, specific provisions are necessary to handle standing water and adequately dry the area to prevent secondary conditions like mold growth. 

When you require water extraction from New Haven basements, this is not as straightforward as it might sound. For instance, you must often first consider the source of the damage to ensure that it has gotten sufficiently resolved before cleanup can be effective. Without identifying the source of basement flooding, you could only temporarily resolve the issue and leave the property vulnerable to continued damage. For substantial water damage in lower levels of the home, common culprits causing these concerns include: 

• Flooding
• Water Heater Malfunctions 
• Appliances Breaking
• Plumbing Ruptures / Pipes Freezing

How Soon Should Extraction Begin? 

There are countless layers of mitigation and restoration required after substantial water disasters impact area homes. The sooner our technicians can become involved in this process, the less widespread and ruinous water exposure and saturation become. Standing water can often be one of the direst of these concerns, as penetration into materials like carpeting or hardwood in finished basements can damage more than the surface materials. With extraction begins such a vital element to the house after a water damage incident, it is often one of the first actions taken even before job scoping and thorough planning occurs. 

What Tools Are Best for Basement Extractions? 

Removing standing water from the basement often requires more care and consideration than property owners realize. Especially in situations where this lower level is finished and a livable space of the house, choosing the right extraction tool can reduce the destruction that many porous, sensitive structural elements face. Because we strive to have the industry-leading tools to manage every facet of water restoration, there are multiple extraction and water removal tools in our inventory to help with damaged basements, including: 

• High-Pressure Pumps – Because of the basements distance from many of our stationary submersible pump options and the rise of the discharge lines to remove trapped water, high-pressure pumps can be the preferred choice for the basement and attic extraction needs. 

• Electric Submersible Pumps – Electric submersible pumps are among the most heavily used water removal tools in our arsenal beyond wet vacuums. Because of their portability and continued operation through hours of use, these tools can quickly manage standing water concerns. 

• Self-Priming Trash Pumps – Sometimes, especially in situations like flooding, debris and solids become a concern for the extractor. Self-priming trash pumps can move solids in the water and continue to eliminate standing water simultaneously. 

• Wet Vacuums – Because of their portability and base for various attachments, wet vacuums are a common staple for extraction and water damage recovery in the basement of your home. 

What Other Areas Must Get Inspected and Repaired? 

Simply removing the water from the basement floors is not sufficient to eliminate the present threat after a water disaster. Other areas undoubtedly require attention, cleaning, and drying. Inspecting several areas of your home during the job scoping phase can reveal potential concerns with multiple building materials and structural elements, including: 

• Subflooring/Joists – With finished floors, especially, water penetration can happen quickly. Also, damage to plumbing or moist conditions can have a disastrous effect on exposed joists for the main floor of your home if ceiling materials were not installed.

• Drywall - Both as ceiling and wall materials, drywall is among the most porous building components used in a finished basement. It rarely takes longer than 24 hours of direct exposure for these elements to become unsalvageable. 

• Flooring – Whether it is vinyl plank flooring or carpeting, excess water can quickly overwhelm flooring material that isn't low-permeance like concrete. 

Water damages to your basement are not uncommon, though swift action is recommended to limit the severity of these situations. When you have a finished lower level, the timeline is even shorter to begin efforts like extraction and drying. Our SERVPRO of New Haven team can help to make basement water loss events "Like it never even happened." Give us a call anytime at (203) 234-1100.

How Can the Progression of Water Damage Threaten New Haven Homes?

SERVPRO Works Hard to Salvage Water Damaged Hardwood Flooring in New Haven with advanced equipment and methods

Depending on the exposure and saturation of structural elements, water can cause irreparable damage that requires tear-out and reconstruction.

Many New Haven homeowners might not think of water damages as devastating threats to a property, especially when the initial impact seems superficial. Without adequately addressing water damage or its effect on the exposed materials and contents, the situation could become more widespread and severe than it might initially appear. Addressing these concerns often requires sophisticated technologies designed to track the migration of water damage throughout a house, including in the structural cavities and beneath flooring surface layers.

When you consider the multiple layers and levels of water damage restoration for New Haven homes, you might not appreciate the extent of work involved in removing all the moisture threats present when water begins to move, saturate through porous materials, and increase the humidity. There comes the point where restoration for soaked materials like wood flooring is not possible, and that comes with recognizing the stage of water damage present.

• Surface Water – Surface water is when the damage in a house is still lying on the top of the flooring and accessible by squeegee wands, carpet wands, and other extraction/drying tools. 
• Trapped Water – When water begins to penetrate beyond the finished layers of wood plank flooring to saturate the individual planks, it is still possible to use floor drying mats, “tenting” with polypropylene sheets, and other equipment to preserve these flooring elements. 
• Bound Water – When water molecules chemically bond with the planks, distortion, and warping occur. 

Can Components like Wood Flooring Get Repaired After Damages?

Often when warping and swelling around the seams has begun, protecting the planks is not possible. Controlled demolition can remove only the compromised portions of flooring to make reconstruction more efficient and cost-effective. If we can sand and refinish crowns or cupped edges of floor planks, we can salvage these boards. We always strive to restore and not replace.

Water damages can be threatening to a property if not addressed quickly. Our SERVPRO of New Haven can show We're Faster To Any Size Disaster when you call (203) 234-1100.

Water can quickly damage the structure in your home. Contact SERVPRO for water removal and remediation efforts.

Water caught in structural cavities can damage many materials in your New Haven home, but our SERVPRO team can help with fast and reliable drying solutions. 

Migrating water can often be a highly damaging condition in your New Haven home. Perhaps more alarming then the damage that water can do to your property is the understanding that many homeowners might not be aware of how widespread and problematic the situation has become. Addressing surface water and damage is only part of the necessary restoration that your property needs for preloss condition restoration.

Along with the numerous restoration approaches required to recover the house, several areas need water damage repair in your New Haven home. This repair is a general term that indicates multiple tasks that must occur for your home to return to its original state before the disaster. Among the worst of these conditions that could arise is water trapped in structural cavities without the knowledge of the homeowner. For this reason, our SERVPRO team arrives with sophisticated technologies to identify moisture pockets beyond the surface to ensure the appropriate drying takes place.

What If My House Needs Reconstruction? 

It is always the objective of our SERVPRO team to prevent reconstruction and build back whenever necessary. However, it is not always feasible to eliminate repairs and to rebuild entirely. We have partnered with reputable contractors such as Connecticut Reconstruction Services (CRS), who can oversee both repairs as well as full-scale reconstruction whenever needed. Between both these contractors and our competent and confident restoration professionals, we can offer:

• Pre and Post-Construction Cleaning
• Controlled Demolition
• Thorough Drying

After a damaging water loss incident in your home, you may need extensive restoration work as well as some reconstruction and repair. No matter what your property needs, our SERVPRO of New Haven team can help. Give us a call anytime at (203) 234-1100.

What Can Water Damage Do to My New Haven Home?

We have experience in all types and scenarios of water damage and can restore your home.

Water Infiltration in Your New Haven Home Can Lead to Structural Damage or Mold Growth, So Call SERVPRO for Expert Water Cleanup! 

Once water unexpectedly seeps into your New Haven home, safety and prompt action are crucial. All of your interior belongings are important to you, but our team at SERVPRO ensures that your family is safe from structural damage and the potential for mold and mildew growth. Something as slight as a leaky pipe can bring about hidden dangers to your electrical system, so we leave no stone unturned during restoration efforts. 

Why Call for Professional New Haven Water Restoration?

Trained professionals handle many jobs, including water cleanup in New Haven. Even in a clean water situation where a leak or emergency burst came from a faulty pipe, the chances of water migrating to areas not visible are incredibly high. Trained water restoration technicians (WRT) have the right equipment to get everything cleaned up as well as moisture detection tools to locate areas where the water may have traveled. 

How Can I Tell the Extent of the Damage in New Haven? 

Our trained technicians follow detailed guidelines on how to classify water loss situations. The four main classifications we use to categorize jobs include: 

• Class 1:This is a situation where a small area is impacted and may require little or no water extraction.
• Class 2:This situation impacts at least an entire room and may have up to 24 inches of water saturation.
• Class 3:This is a water loss that impacts a much larger area, often reaching more than one floor, which calls for extensive restoration efforts.
• Class 4:This type of situation generally includes specialized drying techniques that will not usually fall within the other classifications. 

If your water loss falls within Class 1, you need to know that there can still be a significant amount of damage. For example, if you have a broken pipe located on the second floor of your home, and it goes unaddressed, it may lead to Class 3 damage, call for more involved cleaning, and replace walls, ceilings, and floors. 

What if I Have a Slow Leak in New Haven That I Just Noticed? 

Any slow leaking pipe in New Haven can start to cause significant damage after just a short period. Even though the water coming from the supply line is clean, this delay in mitigation creates a moist environment that turns into a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. This bacteria turns the Category 1 water or Class 1 situation into contaminated water, which calls for specialized cleaning and disinfection using EPA-registered cleaning agents. 

How Does Your Team Address Water Cleanup in New Haven? 

Several factors determine how we proceed with the cleanup and drying of your interior when you call us for water restoration services including: 

• The type of water that has invaded your home
• The overall size of the area that has been affected
• The types of building materials involved 

Clean water is always easier to clean up than a black water situation. With a burst pipe, the job could be as simple as pipe repair and drying the impacted area. Prompt action within 24 to 48 hours helps to prevent bacteria and mold from growing. 

We also consider all the materials impacted inside the water loss zone: 

• If carpeting is the only material impacted, restoration could be completed quickly.
• If insulation, drywall or framing is water damaged, the restoration efforts may take up to 10 days or longer from start to finish. 

SERVPRO likes to remind all water restoration clients that each situation is different. We take the time to assess each job carefully and formulate a plan for prompt water extraction using tools that our Green Fleet comes equipped with, including: 

• Truck-mounted water extractors
• Submersible pumps
• Wet/dry vacuums, and a variety of other tools 

What Items in My New Haven Home Are Not Salvageable? 

It is our goal to preserve as many of your essential possessions as we can. Not all items can are salvageable after a water loss, including: 

• Wood that has been fully saturated
• Food items touched by water
• Supplements and medications
• Personal hygiene items touched by water
• Anything that presents with mold growth 

Once we eliminate standing water within your home's loss zone, our skilled technicians set up industrial fans, air movers, and dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the air. Moisture sensor technology and thermal imaging cameras allow us to locate any areas that need more attention to ensure thorough drying. After everything is deemed dry, we then sanitize and clean anything that has been in contact with the water. 

SERVPRO thoroughly documents everything that goes into the water restoration at your home. Not every water damage incident is equal in the eyes of many insurance companies. If the damage seems to be due to a lack of intervention on your part, you may have issues with insurance not covering all items. Working with insurance is why it is always better to call in the help of IICRC-certified technicians to get the project wrapped quickly and efficiently to ensure all bases are covered. 

SERVPRO of New Haven is here to help with all of your water cleanup needs, 24/7. Give us a phone call at (203) 234-1100, and we make it "Like it never even happened."

Conditions Necessary to Freeze and Burst Pipes in New Haven Homes

Freezing pipes continues to be one of the most devastating and consistent loss incidents that New Haven homeowners can experience throughout the winter months. As preventable as these circumstances might often be, misinformation about how pipes can freeze, and which areas of the house are most susceptible to this loss incident. Freezing pipes can cause thousands of dollars in damage over just a short period, especially if you do not notice the situation right away.

Understanding the conditions necessary to freeze the pipes in your property can help to reduce the likelihood of water damage to New Haven homes. Better preventative measures can help our customers to experience less of the destructive properties of cold snaps and steep temperature drops. Here are some facts that can help you assess risks before catastrophes have our SERVPRO team on-site to assist.

• While water freezes at 32 degrees, conditions must often drop below 25-28 degrees to solidify water inside of your interior plumbing.
• Freezing points often exist where the service line feeding the house enters the basement
• Insulating pipes reduces cold air exposure and frost formations and can often be sufficient for preventing freezing in most situations.

Despite the heating unit often being located in the basement levels, unless you use a wood or coal stove to heat the property, the basement remains one of the coldest areas of the entire house. In the most extreme temperature drops that the city can often experience through the winter months, this bitter cold can surround exposed pipes in this lower level and freeze the water inside.

Bursting pipes can deposit more than 100 gallons of water a minute onto the floor until the water supply gets severed. Our SERVPRO professionals can help with efficient extraction options, including our truck-mount pump for substantial standing water damage concerns. For the concrete flooring, we can utilize drying mats when the material has allowed moisture to penetrate beyond the surface. We also have a standing relationship with the Connecticut Reconstruction Services team, who can work to repair damaged plumbing and reconstruct any areas that need it.

The Danger of Flood Damage in New Haven Can Be Seen in the Water

9/3/2019 (Permalink)

SERVPRO can help with all types of water damage that can occur in your home.

Types of Water that can damage your home

Safety is one of the most important considerations we make when working with flood damage in New Haven. Floods can be unpredictable and devastating and may cause severe health effects even with appropriate protective equipment and precautions. We use the clean/gray/black color scale to identify the risks associated with flood damage in local homes. 

Clean water flood damage in New Haven comes from water sources inside the home, such as an overflowing bathtub or from rain that enters the home through a window or open door. This water is generally safe and poses few health concerns, but with time, it can start to become contaminated. 

Gray water is more dangerous than clear water. Most of the time, gray water we encounter in local homes is the result of clean water that develops bacteria and mold growth. 

The most dangerous type of flood damage involves blackwater. Blackwater may not always be black, but is often murky and hard to see through. This type of water contains many contaminants and should be avoided by you at all costs. 

SERVPRO of New Haven has the expertise necessary to handle unsafe flood damages. Call us at (203) 234-1100.

Don't Delay: Fix Storm Damage Right Away

6/19/2019 (Permalink)

The wet spring and early summer in the northeast tests even the strongest structures

When you have water damage, you will quickly decide “Who do I call to dry water damage” and “Who fixes water damage?"

Consider these common scenarios: A second floor supply line leaks and water pours through the downstairs ceiling and soaks hardwood floors; A pipe bursts on first floor and water soaks carpets and the tile on the kitchen floor; You come home to a house soaked with humidity with wet walls, a saturated ceiling and standing water in the basement.

Clearly in these cases, you call SERVPRO of New Haven for help.

But when it comes to rain, wind and storm damage, where the full impact of damage is not as obvious, you may be tempted to mop, towel and fan. Here are a few things to consider:

Wet Seeks Dry: This means that water is always trying to seep into dry building materials and contents.  Depending on how long the water has been there the moisture can cause warping, delamination and the staining.  

Just as it takes time for moisture to find its way into flooring and drywall, it takes time and a strategy to get the water back out. The Experience, Education and Equipment of a professional mitigation company are often required.

Secondary Damage from a Water Loss Can Exceed the Original Damage: The Insurance Industry has a thick book of suggested guidelines for contractors dealing with water damage.  Experience has shown that house floods ruin finishes, compromise the bones of a home and create a health hazard.  The insurance industry is event driven.  This means you should report water intrusion as soon as you see it.  Your home may have damage that allowed the water to intrude.  In order to be covered, you need to report that right away.  Our team of mitigation and repair professionals will help identify the source of intrusion and make the necessary repairs. 

Our SERVPRO Team Has Seen It Before: We address variations of the situations described above hundreds of times a year.  The only common factors are water and the worry that things are going to be fixed.  We understand water and we understand that no matter how familiar your issue is to us, it is scary, frustrating and upsetting to you.
