SERVPRO Restores After Cleaning Norristown Home Nurseries

Trust SERVPRO to Restore Your Damaged Home in Norristown with Swift Water Removal and Cleanup

It is essential to your baby's health to use the correct amount of water when preparing bottles full of formula. It is just as crucial to the safety of your home to keep water out of places where it can cause problems. When water soaks into the materials your house is made of, those materials can lose their strength and become weak, deteriorate, and worse.
 
New parents want their new baby's life to be perfect, starting with the interior of their Norristown home, but water damage can ruin their efforts. Unwanted water is one type of slowly developing damage that can significantly diminish the safety and security within any home. SERVPRO has technicians with training and expertise to help make everything “Like it never even happened.”
 
Moisture and high humidity, water from broken water lines or overflowing appliances, tubs, and sinks, and even ice on the roof can create problems inside your home, including areas that may seem impervious to damage. This type of harm can lead to many problems because it can sneak up on homeowners.
 
When water attacks a wall, it can affect it on the surface, in the external framework, by compressing the insulation inside, and by corroding the electrical wiring that runs through the wall.

The surface of walls can become stained much like some ceilings are when water is present in small, minute amounts over extended periods of time. While these are not always indicative of other types of secondary water damage, they are at the least quite unsightly.
 
When water seeps into the drywall itself, this can produce swelling and eventual deterioration of the wall. Swelling from the water makes drywall extremely soft at first and then powdery as it dries, allowing it to crumble. Falling materials can prove to be a hazard for those below.
 
When exterior walls are affected by water, the insulation can be damaged. This can create cold spots that, while not posing a health hazard, can still make certain areas of your home uncomfortable for the youngest members of your family.
 
While compressed insulation can lose its ability to function as it should, water inside walls can create problems with wiring including serious fire hazards. In addition to that danger, shocks are much more likely when using compromised outlets.
 
Both new and experienced homeowners can have problems with water damage in their home, and it can happen to any home, regardless of when it was built. These problems can also exist side by side with mold growth, which needs water to survive. If water has created a mess in your home, call us. We are SERVPRO of Norristown and are always here to take your call at (610) 272-8520.
