When water damage hits your house, it's an emergency. Don't worry about the hour or the day. If we wanted conventional hours, we would have chosen a different business.
At SERVPRO of Denver North, we are franchise professionals with solid experience remediating damage from all kinds of water damage.
It isn't just burst pipes that can cause water damage in the winter.
- Depending on the type of the snow, snow can weigh from 0.08 pounds/foot on up. Good snowball-making snow can weigh over 21 pounds/foot. That's a lot of weight on the roof. A broken roof or window can let in enough snow to cause immense damage.
- Ice (same idea as above)
- Broken appliances
- Tub or shower overflow
Reasons to Hire Professional Help
It may be tempting to do the remediation and restoration work yourself. Perhaps you think it will save time or money. Perhaps you have watched so many of those DIY videos you believe you can handle any home repair job. We understand. One of us watched a bunch of DIY videos and became convinced a home haircut would be a great idea. The person wears a hat all the time now.
The basics:
- Most insurance companies require homeowners hire professionals because we can do the work faster (so much for saving time), know what can be saved (so much for saving money), and what cannot
- It is unlikely you have equipment to extract tens of thousands of gallons of water, nor to remove moisture from the sub-flooring, within grout, or hidden above the ceiling
- Depending on where the water damage is, and when we are called, we may need to mitigate microbial growth, which requires special cleansers, disinfectants, and personal protective equipment as well as safe disposal of discards
- Each material (both structural and in belongings) requires different cleaning and disinfecting and drying techniques. Using the wrong ones can cause damage
- If we need to pack up your belongings and move them to temporary storage to better clean them and the structure, we have the ability to do so without hiring an extra service
- SERVPRO of Denver North can dry documents and photographs
- We have Ozoning equipment to remove odors
