Get Water Removal Services for Your Franklin Home After a Supply Line to the Refrigerator Breaks

One of the most common types of water loss in homes occurs due to the water line to the refrigerator breaking. When this occurs, a lot of water can spew in your kitchen and spread in other rooms in your home.

Plumbing supply lines have a significant amount of water pressure in them, meaning that a small hole could cause water to pool in your house. If water has pooled in your residence, using water removal services in Franklin is the right decision. The experienced professionals at SERVPRO can assist you to extract the water and restore your home to its pre-water damage condition. Our technicians can stop leak to prevent the situation from getting worse.

We can determine the scope of the water damage and contain the affected areas so that the water does not spread to other areas during the mitigation process. Water can spread and find its way into walls, floors, and other surfaces and this may not be apparent to the naked eye. SERVPRO technicians use infrared cameras and moisture meters to identify the affected areas. Proper containment keeps the destruction localized.

When dealing with significant water damage, it may be necessary to remove some materials like drywall, flooring, and subfloor from the affected areas to salvage the substructure and framing, and to prevent mold growth. Our technicians can inform you about the items that can remain unaffected, place them outside the affected area, and dispose of the damaged items.

We can use pumps to extract standing water from the affected area. After water removal, your flooring and walls may appear dry at first glance but are still wet. Porous building materials like wood and drywall can retain significant moisture. Our technicians can manipulate relative humidity and temperature to eliminate the remaining moisture. We use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove moisture from building materials and other difficult to access areas. Our technicians use moisture meters to monitor the process until the wet materials return to acceptable drying goals.
