Water damage often impact ceilings. Inspect your home often for signs of moisture.

SERVPRO Helps Pump Out Water, Remove Deteriorated Materials and Perform Other Water Damage Repairs

Any of the pipes crisscrossing your house can fail at any time. Mitigating a ceiling leak can present more challenges compared to intrusions originating from other sections of the house. The elevated position means the released water flows downwards, thus affecting many items and materials in the process.

Before embarking on water mitigation at your New Britain home, it is essential to explore all available options. Hastily tackling the problem can fail to resolve some issues or worsen the loss by introducing unnecessary damages. SERVPRO has highly trained technicians who start the process by probing the loss to identify the unsalvageable materials, the extent of moisture migration, and the amount of water inundating the floors.

Water restoration training helps in addressing various issues, including:

• Water cleanup
• Leaking roof from storms
• Ceiling repairs from water damages

Some tasks may require more urgency because delaying them can lead to long-term damages. Identifying what to prioritize is crucial. Our SERVPRO technicians identify the materials affected by the loss to determine the best course of action. For instance, if the home has a wooden floor, we prioritize water extraction. 

In other cases, cutting off deteriorated ceiling panels and insulation helps stop moisture wicking through materials.

Our SERVPRO teams have varied and powerful water extraction equipment to remove water trapped in any nook and cranny of the house. For instance, portable extractors help ease the removal of water in different rooms. Drying mats and injecti-dry systems help if the water affects wood or tile floors. We also have specialized upholstery cleaning and drying equipment.
