Unexpected Water Damage Problems in Bristol Solved by SERVPRO

Water troubles can be brewing in your Bristol house unnoticed. Small leaks under a sink, behind a wall, or around the sides of a poorly caulked tub eventually become more significant issues. When a homeowner realizes that water has soaked into fixtures and structural components, considerable harm can need attention. Our Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) trained technicians are ready to address any water damage in your home fast.

When we arrive at your water damaged Bristol residence, our experienced crew assesses the damages. Because pipes and drains hide within building cavities behind walls and under floors, we employ sensitive moisture measuring and thermal imaging devices to map out the perimeters of the saturated building materials. We want to stop the migration of water to even more unaffected spaces and dry out the wet areas.

Water Removal Services

If we discover pooled water under cabinets or between walls, pumps, and extractors from our fully-stocked SERVPRO service vehicles, remove it. We disassemble kickboards beneath fixtures and consider controlled demolition of the lower sections of walls to access the water. Systematic reuse of detection devices ensures we make progress and avoid missing damaged areas.

Water can make its way through layers of hardwood and even ceramic tile if the grout is missing or cracked. SERVPRO uses negative air pressure equipment to suction water from several levels of flooring. We attach floor mats to the surface, connect hoses to the mats, and pull the water out with extractors for power.

Once standing water exits your home, SERVPRO focuses on techniques mastered by team members certified by the IICRC for Applied Structural Drying (ASD). Creating a restorative drying environment requires leveraging the scientific principle that wet moves to dry. We position air movers and heaters to reduce your home’s interior humidity, facilitating the movement of absorbed moisture out of porous building materials into the drier air. Our commercial-grade dehumidifiers then absorb or condense the water vapor created for permanent removal.
