SERVPRO® Offers Water Extraction Services for Apollo Beach Residents After a Water Leak

Undetected plumbing leaks can distribute hundreds of gallons of water inside homes in Apollo Beach. Before you realize it, the water has spread to adjacent rooms soaking carpets, under padding, or across hardwood floors, potentially causing irreparable damage unless we extract the water and apply drying techniques.

SERVPRO provides water extraction services in Apollo Beach and surrounding areas. We use weighted extractors on carpeted floors, hardwood floor drying mats for hardwood floors, and vacuum wands to reach difficult hard-to-access locations. Specialized blowers can direct dry air inside walls using access holes to access these locations. Dehumidifiers remove the remaining moisture and lower the humidity.

Many of our clients delay action until it is too late. They hope the water will evaporate and not cause permanent damage. Older carpets may delaminate and must be replaced. Subfloors absorb moisture and lose structural integrity, requiring a new subfloor and floor covering. Hardwood floor planks buckle, cup or warp. Once this damage has occurred, the boards usually do not return to their original shape, and we must replace the floor.

In addition, mold can begin to form colonies in as little as 24 hours inside walls or under carpets. The mold colony becomes well established, and homeowners may not notice until they smell a strong, musty odor. Mold remediation techniques must be applied, including opening walls and removing mold-contaminated structures.

Clients are urged to take action immediately to remove water and moisture before secondary damage occurs to floor materials and structural components. SERVPRO provides the following services to our clients in Apollo Beach:

• Water removal and extraction services
• Water damage restoration
• Ceiling repairs from water damage
