SERVPRO can mitigate your water damage house in Milton.

Bring in Water Restoration Technicians from SERVPRO to Restore Your Milton home

Storms can bring in a lot of flooding, but most water damage in Milton homes comes from smaller amounts spread from a broken pipe or a failed appliance. Even a few gallons can cost hundreds and thousands of dollars in restoration and repairs.

Can water damage cost that much?

If not dealt with quickly, yes. Water damage in your Milton home can cost if you wait. SERVPRO technicians rapidly begin work with water extraction devices to draw water from carpets and wood flooring. Fast removal prevents carpet layers from separating and reduces the swelling and cracking of floorboards when they absorb too much water.

To complete the process in your home, technicians use air movers to generate a flow of warm air underneath and over these surfaces to force out trapped moisture and release it into the air. They use dehumidifiers to capture the moisture and completely remove it from your home.

OK, I called; what can I do before you get here?

As long as it is safe to enter your home, you can perform these tasks:

• Turn on the air conditioner to maximize drying
• Remove any art and other high-value items to a dry, safe place
• Slip a sheet of aluminum foil between furniture legs and wet carpets
