Water damage to property is the third most significant cause of losses for homeowners. Between 2007 and 2009 alone, homeowners reported over $9 billion in property loss due to water damage, comprising a staggering 23% of such losses in that period. Water damage is also the second most frequently filed claim for homeowners, according to American Insurance Association data.

Disasters do not occur on a typical 9-to-5 schedule, so these restoration professionals are always ready to offer a full spectrum of cleanup and restoration services for homeowners and their belongings. SERVPRO's emphasis on repair over replacement when it is safe and feasible to do so ensures minimal losses and maximum cost savings for homeowners. 

Protect Your Belongings From Attic Water Damage

• Choosing the right storage. Use clear plastic containers to avoid bacteria and insects and be able to see the contents of your storage more easily.
• Insulate the attic with durable materials. Not only does insulation help with temperature control, but it can also help keep moisture and pests away from your belongings. While cotton and cellulose are eco-friendly options, fiberglass stands a better chance of being restored after water damage.
• Maintain your home. Make sure to fix up your roof, keep gutters clean, and have a professional inspect your home once or twice a year so you can get small problems repaired before they become costly insurance claims.

SERVPRO Can Restore Your Fiberglass Insulation

After water damage has occurred, it is possible to restore fiberglass insulation and reinstall it in your home. The first step in cleanup is to extract water with portable, back-mounted units or extraction wands. Water extraction is estimated to be 500 times more effective than skipping straight to drying with air movement and dehumidification. Insulation can also be sanitized with EPA-registered biocides
