Following a water damage incident, attempting to clean up the water on your own may appear to be a cost-effective approach.  However, this can result in potential issues later on.  Without the proper equipment and techniques, the small water droplets that you missed can travel into unreachable areas, leading to further water damage or mold growth.

It is important to fully dry a structure after water damage in order to help prevent further issues.  Often, our team is called to assist with mold issues due to improper water damage services.  Mold can grow quickly and in as little as 48 hours.  It is critical to promptly dry and clean water-damaged areas immediately as well as dispose of any wet materials that cannot be thoroughly dried.

Following a water damage event, SERVPRO of Norristown conducts a comprehensive inspection of your property and any damp materials.  We also assess the moisture levels in the air and those materials to gauge the extent of the damage.  Throughout the water damage restoration process, we employ air movers to facilitate complete drying of the structure within a minimum drying period of three days as per IICRC guidelines.  Each of these steps are essential in the complete recovery of your property after water damage.

Should you discover additional water or mold damage, SERVPRO of Norristown is here to assist!  Our mold remediation specialists are also available to assist you with any extent of damages through our specialized equipment and expertise!
