Detecting Water Damage "Behind the Scenes" in Paducah & Mayfield Kentucky

1/13/2022 (Permalink)

Water damage can be anything from a small leak to a gushing stream of water from a busted pipe.  How can I test my home for water damage?

1. Water rings on the ceiling or walls pointing to a leak in the pipes. 
2. Soft or sagging spots on the floor, especially near the tub, shower, sinks. 
3. Cracked or warped tile, laminate or wood flooring.
4. Look in the cabinet under the sink for watermarks, warping and discoloration that may indicate leaking pipes.
5. Trust your sense of smell. If there is a mildew or musty smell, it's likely there was water damage and now there may be a potential mold issue that will require mold remediation.

Some of the advanced technology we use to detect and measure possible water issues are:

• Handheld moisture meters that detects the percentage of moisture in the floor or wall.
• Infrared Camera - allows the technician to see the hot & cold spots that can indicate serious issues.

Timing is everything with a possible water leak - so don't wait!  Let SERVPRO check your home or business with our state of the art technology.  The longer you wait, the more damage water can do.
