SERVPRO provides water removal services in New Haven

Most people do not think about the age of their water heater. They are only designed to last ten to fifteen years, and that is with good care. Water heater leaks and ruptures are something we deal with often at SERVPRO.

Basement Flooding Cleanup & Water Damage Repairs

When a water heater floods the home, it is typically in the basement if there is a basement. When this happens, you need water removal in your New Haven home. Water extraction is vital to restoring this area of your residence after a disaster like a ruptured water tank. Depending on the leak size, you could end up with the entire contents of the tank flooding your home. SERVPRO deals with the situation by:

• Using the right type of pump, such as a sump pump
• Implementing squeegee extractors to help with water removal
• Using weight extractors and light wands to force water from carpeting
• Using air movers and dehumidifiers in the correct ratio to aid drying
