My Clogged Roof Gutters Caused Water Damage In My Property. Where Can I Seek Help?
Contact SERVPRO team of technicians in Nashua to help with water damage restoration in your property.
Water can cause significant damage to your furniture and upholstery if not restored on time. It can seep through various materials in your Nashua property, and the more the surface gets soaked, the more the damage. However, SERVPRO restorers can help minimize damage and restore your property to its pre-loss damage.
What are some of the risks of water damage?
To understand the dangers of water damage in your Nashua property, you have to know the type of water leaked into your home. We categorize water into three types, including:
- Category I (Clean water)
- Category II (Gray water)
- Category III (Blackwater)
We assess the water damage in our customer’s property according to the water category. Clean water comes from heaters, steam lines, pipes, or rain and may turn to category II and III if ignored for an extended period. Gray and black water can cause different health risks to your family or employees. You may also experience surface discoloration, wooden surfaces may wrap, and odors may linger in your property.
How do restorers investigate the damage on various surfaces?
The tricky part of investigating water damage problems caused by rainwater incursions is that one cannot know what where else to look at if they do not have proper equipment and tools. You can only inspect a small part of the damage while most of the moisture stays hidden in walls. If the moisture is not dried correctly, mold growth may occur in less than 48 hours. We have various investigating techniques depending on the damaged surface.
- Drywall
If you act fast enough and involve SERVPRO technicians, we can salvage your drywalls. We can use moisture meters to determine your structure’s integrity to identify whether your wall is insulated. If not, we can drill small holes to access the moisture.
- Flooring
Our technicians can also investigate your flooring and base molding materials to determine the best edge-cutting technique of handling the damage. If a carpet covers your floor, we can remove the material outside for proper drying. Our technicians can use a hot-melt glue gun and glue sticks, carpet shears, seaming iron, and staple hammer or an electric stapler to reinstall your carpet after drying.
Even after restoring your property, it is essential to involve a reputable plumbing company to clear your clogged gutters and repair the system. That can help minimize any chances of water damage reoccurring in your property.
