Water Damage Restoration

Some of the homes in Palmetto Bay that became waterlogged during the last hurricane could begin showing residual effects of those horrific weather conditions. Especially true of houses that seemed only to have slight amounts of cosmetic damage, signs of the destruction can slip under the radar of visual inspections and then show up later.

Palmetto Bay homes with visible water damage received the care necessary to restore them. However, some homeowners and residents might find that increased humidity and higher moisture levels eventually damage their personal belongings. This can happen when the ground remains saturated in depressions near the home or because hidden pockets of moisture become trapped slowly and evaporate into the property.

Water damage can easily cause your belongings to rot and crumble, develop stains and odors from microbial activity or dyes, stick together, and do many other things you probably would like to avoid. SERVPRO can help with all of these issues and more. We know how to mitigate the problem from the water source to the cleaning and restoration of your valuable personal possessions.

Many people collect items as hobbies; sometimes, these collections come at a high price. The loss of one can entail a great deal of difficulty locating a replacement. Because of their age or the limited number the company produced, some items are irreplaceable.

While water easily damages homes and belongings alike, we also use water and specialized cleaning agents to undo much of the damage condensation and increased moisture levels produce. Cleaning and laundering with unique techniques and agents may take time, but the effects leave belongings in preloss condition. Water damage does not need to mean that you lose your prized collectibles when we perform the detailed work required.

Cleaning one at a time, rinsing well until no residue remains, then ensuring each is dried carefully by blotting with a soft cloth, followed by air drying, can save collectibles made from metal, wood, ceramic, glass, and other substances.

We can restore other items in your home that might seem beyond repair. We at SERVPRO take restoring your belongings seriously. Even when water contains pathogens, we have the training and experience to ensure your property returns to you free of microbes.
