SERVPRO technicians bring advanced equipment to give you the answers you need regarding water damage in your Long Beach home

Your Long Beach home may be trying to tell you something is wrong when water spots show up on the ceiling. It is best to bring in a professional water damage restoration company to determine the nature of the cleanup that needs to happen. The stains left by moisture on sheetrock can mean multiple things are amiss, including:
    •    A leak in the roof allowing water into the home  
    •    Plumbing issue  
    •    In multi-family residences, the neighbor has a water damage issue affecting your home

What Happens if Water Mitigation Gets Delayed?
When you have the signs of your Long Beach property needing professional water mitigation by the trained techs of SERVPRO, there should be no delay. The longer that the structural elements get exposed to water, the more damage that occurs. The stains left behind can turn into deteriorated sheetrock, ruined floor tiles, and the need to get the water in your carpet extracted and dried to save it. When the cleanup gets delayed, it can lead to a host of issues such as musty odors that permeate porous items, and it can work to create a sustainable environment for mold growth.

After removing the water in the home, SERVPRO technicians carefully monitor the drying process to ensure that pre-set drying goals get attained. The plans are predetermined to lower the interior humidity levels below the point that airborne mold spores germinate and grow. This tactic and the use of professional antimicrobial cleaners and sealants keep the potential for mold colony infestation at bay.
