Damage to Furnishings and Walls Is Only Part of Water Intrusion Issues

Water damage can have long-lasting effects. The sooner efforts are started to correct the problem, the fewer problems will be experienced, and of those that are encountered, these will be less severe than if water damage repair efforts had been postponed. There is no logical reason to postpone or ignore the intrusion of unwanted water.

In a Shrewsbury area home that has water damage, this is also true. Finding water damage unexpectedly can create panic in many homeowners, but there are ways to eliminate its effects. If there is water damage in a home, SERVPRO can make it “Like it never even happened.” We're highly skilled in not only prevention of water damage but also in cleaning up and performing repairs of both structural problems and water penetrations that have affected other belongings. This includes furniture, clothing, and many other items. We know and appreciate the place that your home holds in your heart for you and your family.
 
One result of water intrusion is an unpleasant odor. This musty odor may continue even after the water has been extracted and preventative measures have been carried out. The breakdown on drywall and carpeting that has not been treated to remove moisture and can also be troublesome. Our IICRC technicians can apply products with foggers, both chemical and thermal, to eliminate, not just mask the odors. 
 
SERVPRO technicians will utilize moisture sensors and thermal hygrometers to root out pockets of moisture or dampness to mitigate the proliferation of mold growth. Not only do these fungi cause health effects, but the dank and the musty odor is unpleasant to the senses. 
 
When water damage is affecting your enjoyment of your home or keeping you from entertaining friends and family, call SERVPRO of Shrewsbury / Westborough at (508) 757-7885. We are ready to serve our local community 24/7 by dialing us up.
