WATER DAMAGE:

Water damage can happen anywhere, but some areas and types of damage occur more often than others. When problems go beyond simple cleanup and sanitation, your cleaning personnel or company may be ill-equipped to handle the consequences of significant water damage. SERVPRO of Western Lancaster provides fast and efficient services, ensuring all affected areas are clean, undamaged, and pleasant-smelling after a water loss.

COMMON WATER LOSS CAUSES:

Plumbing Overflow

Plumbing overflow in a sink, tub, or toilet, is a common issue that requires a call to SERVPRO of Western Lancaster County.

In commercial settings like hotels, determining when, where, and why water damage has occurred can sometimes be challenging. It can take a few days even to catch this water damage in the first place. When we arrive, our team of professionals will draft a detailed assessment of the situation and can provide an estimate of our projected work times and costs.

Water Line Leaks and Breaks

Water lines run through the buildings risk leaking or bursting, especially if the lines are older.

Be sure to call SERVPRO of Western Lancaster as soon as you suspect that a water line may have ruptured. The speed of our response may be critical in preventing further damage.

Ensure that pipes receive semi-regular maintenance and checkups to avoid most water line problems in your home or business.

Open Windows

Sometimes, we want a bit of fresh air, so we open a window. Water damage can occur quickly if you forget to close the window before a storm rolls through your area.

Rain pouring into your structure through an open window can cause significant damage to furniture, walls, and flooring. Calling your local SERVPRO team can help you quickly prevent most of the damage and begin the restoration process.

WHAT OUR TECHNICIANS WILL DO:

SERVPRO technicians have a seven-step process to estimate the damage and restore your home and business. It all starts with assessing the damage and determining if the site is safe to enter.

From that point, we will:

• Determine the extent of the moisture content in affected areas
• Move furniture that may hinder drying results 
• Extract water
• Remove drywall and flooring (if necessary) 
• Start the drying process with air movers and dehumidifiers 

Once the restoration process is complete, we will perform a walk-through with business owners or homeowners to show what we’ve done and guarantee customer satisfaction.
