We have the tools to insure your water damage is taken care of properly.

Let SERVPRO help you get your home back to normal.

Water damage in your Pensacola home can stem from many different sources. Bathtub or sink overflows, leaky pipes, a cracked toilet seal, open windows during a windy rainstorm, a corroded water heater, and many more events lead to water soaking into the fixtures and structural components of your house. Do not fall for the temptation of thinking you will save a little money if you try to remediate the situation yourself.

Water cleanup in Pensacola can be complicated. Moisture does not remain pooled on surfaces but instead seeps into cracks and crevices. It can saturate several layers of flooring as well as migrate behind walls and into other building cavities. Our employees complete training from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and then use the restoration industry’s best practices learned to locate water and remove it thoroughly.

SERVPRO crews arrive with the tools and skills necessary to map out the extent of the water damage. We use thermal imaging to find pockets of water and meters to measure the moisture levels in building materials. Tracking this data helps us design an efficient plan to clean up the standing water as well as setting drying goals for the moisture absorbed into structures and fixtures.

If any water remains hidden or soaked into walls, floors, or other building materials, the damage continues. Water is extremely destructive to drywall, wood, insulation, ceiling tiles, and more. Crumbling, bulging, warping, and other distortion persists and worsens if the water cleanup is incomplete. SERVPRO technicians use specific strategies, tools, and equipment to ensure complete removal of the excess water. Floor mats employ negative air pressure to pull moisture out of several layers of hardwood over subflooring. Controlled demolition techniques allow us to gain access behind walls to release trapped water and improve airflow for the drying phase.

SERVPRO’s Applied Structural Drying (ASD) technicians finish your water cleanup job, positioning air movers, heaters, and dehumidifiers to dry out the residual moisture. As drying progresses, we monitor the moisture levels, aiming for normal readings.
