Water damage in a home can lead to bigger disasters that involve electric, sewage, and even mold.

When water damage occurs in your home, the first instinct is to clean up the mess. While it is important to take care of the damage, it is not always something you should do yourself. Water damage in a home can lead to bigger disasters that involve electric, sewage, and even mold. 

Due to every water damage situation being unique, SERVPRO of Henry and Randolph Counties has tailored solutions for each specific condition.

Electrical damage: Determining the degree of damage is the most important step when it relates to electrical damage. Figuring out if the items were completely submerged underwater, or just wet from rainfall can differentiate whether it is salvageable or not. It is important to not touch electrical items following water damage because you could harm yourself or others.

Sewage: Water that contains sewage is very dangerous because it is unsanitary and may contain bacteria and viruses. SERVPRO will inspect the contaminated water to determine what type of water it is- clean, gray, or black. After determining the type of water, SERVPRO’s highly trained technicians will extract the water and restore the damage.

Mold: It is vital to not let mold go untreated in your home. Mold can spread in as little as 48 hours, producing allergens and irritants along the way. It is important to not try to clean mold yourself, as health effects can occur from the spores. SERVPRO technicians receive regular training and have the most up-to-date certifications on understanding and cleaning mold.

Should you find yourself dealing with water damage, reach out to SERVPRO of Henry and Randolph Counties. The SERVPRO team is highly trained to handle situations like water damage, so your home will look, “Like it never even happened.”
