A laundry room calamity, like a leaking washing machine, can quickly escalate, affecting the structural integrity of a Plainsboro home. SERVPRO addresses these concerns effectively, ensuring homeowners can breathe a sigh of relief.

In Plainsboro, homeowners need water damage repair after household appliance malfunctions. One of the main culprits? A washing machine with a supply line leak or interior breakage spills copious amounts of water in the laundry room. 

Waterlogged Laundry Room Issues

Specific problems caused by water damage include:

• Mold growth in damp, hidden corners.
• Ruined carpets and rugs.
• Weakened wall structures.
• Damaged electrical systems.

How SERVPRO Helps With Water Cleanup

SERVPRO's approach to water damage repair involves an initial assessment that quickly maps out the extent of the damage. 

• Utilizing professional-grade equipment for water extraction.
• Dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure complete drying.
• Sanitize affected areas to prevent mold and mildew.
• Final inspections to ensure the job was completed to the client's satisfaction.

Special Concerns For Flooring 

SERVPRO has a systematic process for handling wet or swollen wood flooring. After using their equipment to determine the scale and scope of the water cleanup, the techs perform exaction measures. Drying using high-velocity air movers is crucial to remove moisture rapidly to prevent further warping. After drying, the decision for replacement vs repair gets made. 

• Repair: Minor warping can sometimes be fixed by sanding and refinishing the surface. Another technique involves weighing down the swollen area with heavy objects after drying, which can help flatten minor bulges.
• Replacement: If the damage is too severe, the affected planks must be removed and replaced. The new planks match the existing flooring in color and grain pattern.

Final Touches

In some cases, the techs recommend sealing the wood flooring in areas like laundry rooms prone to moisture. This coating creates a barrier between water and the wood.
