Hiring SERVPRO to Perform Water Repair in Your Fremont Property Can Prevent Costly Destruction

Water damage can strike your residence without warning, leading to havoc. In the absence of proper treatment, excess water can pose health effects and damage structures. Immediate action by hiring professional restorers like SERVPRO can prevent financial loss and anxiety.

SERVPRO offers water damage restoration in Fremont homes fast and effectively since we respond quickly to emergency calls. Our restoration efforts mainly involve removing water from the structure. Preventing mold growth and other secondary damages is the key to our restoration efforts. Our equipment helps us dry even the most difficult spots quickly and efficiently. Before we perform water damage restoration, we take time to perform scoping. This procedure involves locating the home areas where water has penetrated. We then define the extent to which the contents and structure have absorbed moisture beyond typical levels. Some tools we use to track moisture within a home include: 

• Thermal imaging cameras
• Moisture sensors
• Thermal hygrometers
• Moisture meters

As part of the drying process, we can remove excess water from your property. If left to dry on its own, the moisture can cause more damage in the long run. If you have drywall, we can drill small holes to access the water. Our SERVPRO restorers can use structural cavity drying equipment with air movers to dry the moisture behind your drywall. We use the equipment to drive air directly in the drywall to help it dry better. It may take several hours for the damaged area to dry, depending on its severity.

After cleaning and drying the affected area, we inspect it to ensure it is safe for habitation. Our SERVPRO experts can use a moisture meter that does not penetrate the surface of a material to detect moisture. Drywall and plaster are good candidates for moisture detection utilizing this device. It accurately detects damp areas deep within the materials.

Your property may suffer irreversible damage if you allow water to enter. Contact SERVPRO of Newark, Southwest Fremont for fast and effective restoration at (510) 737-8793.
