Why SERVPRO Water Damage San Francisco

In San Francisco, water is everywhere. It helps define our city and most residents love it; until they wake up to a couple of inches in their home. Fortunately, when it comes to most water intrusions, it usually comes from treated sources like inlet pipes. That eliminates the need for cleaning in most cases so restoration agencies can quickly move on to restoration.

So why SERVPRO for water damage in your San Francisco home? Even an inch or two of water that rests on floors overnight can cause damage; only a professional can fully restore. That includes not just wood floors, but furniture as well. Our restoration crews train to handle these issues and more.

When the furniture is affected, crew members remove it from the flooded area and place it on blocks or pallets to drip and dry naturally, without accidentally staining floors or carpets. If it appears that the varnish or another stain may run or bubble before the item dries, they carefully place fans to increase air circulation and evaporation. If the varnish already bubbled and ran, they can make repairs to small areas or completely strip the old varnish and cover the item with a new coat is the damage is larger.

Wood flooring can absorb an incredible amount of water damage overnight and also allow it to seep into the sub-floor. SERVPRO crew members use moisture meters that measure the water content of the floorboards, and if it is high, they set up air movers that push warm, dry air over the affected parts of the floor. Crew members can adjust the temperature and speed of the airflow, allowing them to dry any floor without causing secondary damage like splitting or cracking the wood.

If our crews find water underneath the floor, they can remove it and dry the space using extraction wands and air movers. They drill or lift a floorboard from a spot usually under the furniture and quickly draw out the water. To remove the moisture and lower the humidity, crew members attach a hose to the air mover to direct air into the space and force out water trapped inside.

Our goal at SERVPRO of Belmont / San Carlos is to quickly provide a dry, safe home for every resident after a disaster. If this is what you want for your home, call us today at (650) 591-4137 to schedule a visit and begin the restoration process.
