When a family arrived home after spending the Holiday away, they found that a supply line that ran through their ceiling froze and broke. The structural framing, plaster, and wood walls were soaked for 4 weeks before we were called in to help. The heavy amount of water and saturation into materials prolonged the drying process and demolition had to be performed. Thanks to our dedicated and hard-working team, we were able to restore the damage to the homeowners satisfaction.

A shower head got detached from a pipe in the wall. The water intrusion affected the adjacent bedroom, crawlspace, and bathroom. Our technicians went to the job site and removed the affected material needed to dry the structure of the home. Reconstruction was completed in the bathroom and bedroom, and repairs were completed in the crawlspace.

A water line broke in a customers ceiling above their kitchen. The homeowner was able to stop the leak to prevent any further damage, but the kitchen and breakfast nook were affected. The homeowner pulled out wet insulation from ceiling to get to the broken pipe and repair it. Under IICRC guidelines, drying was performed to all the wet, affected areas. Both penetrating and non-penetrating meters were used during the drying process. The crawlspace took several days to dry with a Desiccant unit. The loss occurred on or about 1-8-2018. We didn't arrive and start demolition until 1-22-2018, therefore the saturated sub-floor had been soaked for at least 14 days requiring a much longer dry time than a loss that had been wet a few hours.

This structure was affected by water from a Category 3 Hurricane. The storm caused 100% coverage inside the building with water extending above the bottom plate. Axial fans and dehumidifiers were placed in structure to prevent further damage to the contents while our team was waiting for a Contents Pod and Contents Crew to remove the contents from structure. One fan and one dehumidifier were placed in the Contents Pod to keep contents from being destroyed or effected by mold and or condensation.

Just finishing up after a job down in the crawl space. Always good to consider a sealed crawled space. Pictured here is our owner John and one of our techs George. 

Many times your floors can be showing signs of warping or moisture.  Determining the source of the water (or mold) usually requires a trip to your crawlspace.  SERVPRO of Bath will thoroughly investigate the problem.
