Things to understand 

• What water damage involves
• Common causes of damage
• Signs indicating serious moisture issues

Water damage develops when physical changes develop in materials that come into contact with water. Changes may involve swelling, disintegration, and discoloration, which might result from oxidation or microbial growth. Appropriate repairs must reverse the physical changes and stop the cause. SERVPRO technicians use different approaches to facilitate these. For example, swelling wooden floorboards require sustained and controlled drying to reinstate the boards to their original state. Removing some floorboards helps prevent buckling, while placing drying chambers over the affected floor area quickens drying. 

Water damage may be overt or hidden, so understanding all signs of trouble is essential. Paying close attention to signs that indicate a severe situation is vital to catching problems before they become irreversible. Some of the things our crews look out for include bubbling paint on wall and ceiling surfaces, browning or dark spots on fabrics, and cupping or buckling on hardwood floors. Our teams make flood cuts to remove materials, drill weep holes to release trapped water, and separate fabrics that may stain.
