Tallahassee Homes are in Danger of Costly Water Damage if Hidden Moisture Lurks Behind Building Materials.

Most bathrooms get designed in a way that allows them to handle excessive moisture and the potential for slight spills from your sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers. However, certain situations call for the help of trained professionals so that you do not develop building material rot or the onset of potentially harmful mold and mildew. SERVPRO can come out to your Tallahassee property to look at your bathroom if you suspect that you may have hidden water damage. We have a broad range of moisture detection methods and equipment to assess your home and get to the heart of the matter.

There are some noticeable signs that you may need help with water damage restoration in Tallahassee. For example, you could have moisture hidden behind your walls or ceilings if you begin to notice things like:

• Sudden, unexplainable musty odors
• Paint or wallpaper that starts to discolor, bubble, or peel
• Drywall that is spongy, moist to the touch, or begins to crumble

Without prompt action after noticing one or more of these symptoms of water damage, you could be in for costly damage to your building materials and the structure of your home. SERVPRO performs a thorough assessment to mitigate the damage while also looking for any areas where moisture might be hiding. We bring water removal tools and drying equipment to each water restoration job so that we can get to work quickly on a tailored plan to restore your interior and make it “Like it never even happened.”

With the help of moisture sensors, thermal imaging technology, and moisture meters, we find damp areas and use industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers in tandem to facilitate evaporation. If necessary, we can put polyethylene sheeting in place to amplify drying by creating a drying chamber. All surfaces are then finished off with disinfection and sanitization with our range of EPA-registered antimicrobial and antibacterial cleaning agents and deodorizers.

SERVPRO of North Leon County is available to handle any water damage restoration needs that you may have. We are Faster to Any Size Disaster, and you can reach us by calling (850) 536-6599.
