Water can cause damage beyond structure issues.

SERVPRO's Water Removal Team Rescues Homes

Water can take three forms when it becomes misplaced in a Ringgold or Varnell home. In attics and basements, as well as on roofs and gutters in the winter, ice can form in the coldest parts of the home. Inside, liquid water can show up in small drops from a minor leak or a flood. Either of these can bring about conditions where humidity in the air dramatically increases.

When a situation arises in a your home involving misplaced water, SERVPRO's water removal specialists expertly perform the needed services to restore the home to its preloss condition quickly. We also perform the work needed to ensure that similar incidents become much less likely to occur again in the future.

Our Green Fleet arrives Faster to Any Sized Disaster, complete with the water removal equipment and ready to begin extracting the water causing harm to your home and your family's possessions. Water damages anything within reach, and that reach includes anything within your home's entire space. Because humidity travels everywhere, no place remains entirely off limits.

When water comes from situations in the upper areas of your home, either from ice dams on your roof or an upstairs bathroom's leaky tub drain, water can seep downward and affect anything along the way. You can see the effect of floods and broken water pipes much more quickly, but both can cause extensive damage to your residence. We use hygrometers and other devices to locate the water in whatever form it takes, so we see exactly where to concentrate our efforts.

After pumping out the water wherever it collects in more than a few inches, we begin using other kinds of extraction equipment. We use different methods, according to IICRC standards, to re-establish normal levels of moisture and humidity inside your home. Almost everything contains some moisture, but excessive amounts can become a problem quickly. We compare readings taken inside your home of water-saturated materials to known and accepted amounts listed for those same items.

Then we use different machinery and equipment to eliminate the water and check for damaged areas that require further attention. Some materials sustain damage rather quickly, and these can cause problems when we do not replace them. However, our rapid response helps keep this to a minimal amount.

SERVPRO of North Whitfield and Catoosa Counties has a 24-hour emergency hotline, available by calling (706) 965-7378. When your home needs water removal experts to restore your home, so it is once more "Like it never even happened."
