A Little Water Can Cause A Lot of Damage

Damage caused by a small sprinkler leak in the attic.

It doesn’t take a lot of water to cause tremendous damage. Just an inch or two or leak in the ceiling can destroy carpets and dry wall, warp wood floors and /or damage building components.

Water damage can be caused by many things:

Sump pumps
Water heater failures
Broken pipes
Sprinkler systems
Washing machine
Dishwasher leaks
Ice maker problems
Flooding due to heavy rain
Ground water seeping into the basement
Natural disasters

Even after the water seems to disappear, excess moisture can hide in your floor coverings, foundation, wood structures and walls—causing major damage to your property and creating the perfect environment for mold and other fungi growth.

That's Where the SERVPRO of Blackwood/Gloucester Township comes in. If you catch it in time, you can ward off a lot of the damage and save money and headaches down the road. It’s important that water is quickly removed and the property dried, ventilated and disinfected to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, mildew and other microorganisms that are harmful.
