How Professionals Remediate Water Damage in Voorhees

Malfunctioning dishwashers can create a headache for homeowners. Inspect your dishwasher often for signs of leaks.

What to Expect When Our Professionals Respond to Water Damage in Your Voorhees Home 

All it takes for a severe water incursion in your Voorhees home is a loose hose or broken pump in a dishwasher or a crack in a water heater. Appliances make our lives easier, but they can send hundreds of gallons of water into your home when they malfunction, especially if the damage happens while you are asleep or out of your house. Our seasoned crews have the expertise and the equipment to get a water-logged house back to preloss condition. 

When we arrive to assess the water damage at your Voorhees home, expect a swift yet thorough assessment followed by a remediation plan we begin implementing immediately. If not already done we shut off the water supply to limit additional damage and remove contents in the affected area to a secure staging space in another part of your home or at our production facility. 

SERVPRO service vehicles stock high-efficiency pumps and water extractors to remove the majority of the standing water fast. We use thermal imaging and moisture detecting devices to map out the dimensions of the affected area. We note moisture levels in structural components as we determine drying goals. Air movers and heaters cause vaporization of water trapped in building materials so our dehumidifiers can trap and contain the moisture for disposal. 

If we find water migration into adjacent spaces, we get access to the moisture through controlled demolition or other methods that allow the release of the fluids. Drying is crucial in all affected spaces, so we use a range of strategies to force dry, heated air into cavities with residual moisture. SERVPRO technicians and our management team all complete rigorous training with the IICRC to gain knowledge about the best industry practices for ridding your home of unwanted and destructive moisture.

Throughout the project, we take care to limit the disruption to the rest of your home. Should any building materials need removing, SERVPRO employees erect protective barriers to contain any dust. When we complete the water removal and attain our drying goals, our crew moves on to reconstruction tasks that leave your home “Like it never even happened.”
