Winter Water Mitigation in East Brunswick

When a flood hits your property, you need to call the technicians at SERVPRO.

SERVPRO Can Provide Water Restoration Services in East Brunswick

When people think about storm damage, excessive rains, and flooding are often the first to come to mind. But even though flooding is a rarity in the winter, cold weather can also create conditions that could cause issues with your structure. Houses can flood after temperatures rise after a blizzard, or ice dams can build up on your roof and cause leaks.

Pipes freezing and breaking in the wintertime can also be the culprit of water mitigation projects in East Brunswick. When temperatures drastically drop during a storm, water supply lines could freeze and cause flooding in your house. If the break occurs on your second floor, moisture could come into the lower level from the ceiling down.

Whatever the case, our SERVPRO technicians can follow the same procedures any time moisture enters your home. The first thing we do when arriving at your property is inspected to ensure your building is safe for our workers and other occupants. If there are any trip or fall hazards, we can mitigate these issues before conducting any restoration work.

Once we deem the site safe, we begin thoroughly inspecting your property. First, we can determine the source of the moisture and seal the leak or shut off your water. Next, we can use moisture sensors and meters to find where the water went and which building materials and contents were affected.

Steps we can take to remove moisture:

• Use a submersible pump for standing water
• Extract liquid H2O from flooring
• Applied Structural Drying (ASD)
• Set up an injection drying system to dry out wet walls

If the winter blues happen to strike your house in the form of water damage, call SERVPRO of East Brunswick / Princeton Meadows at (732) 432-9800.
