What Materials Are Most Directly Damaged by Water in Port St. Lucie Homes?

5/26/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO teams have the tools and experience you need to handle water damages on your property.

Some Materials Require Removal and Replacement in Port St. Lucie After Water Damage. 

Several installed materials can become directly and heavily damaged after situations like burst pipes or ceiling leaks, including:

• Trim – For water damage in Port St. Lucie, the trim and baseboards can be among the first materials directly impacted. SERVPRO professionals can quickly uninstall this exposed material from drywall using a putty knife and other approaches.

• Flooring – Carpeting can often be heavily damaged by spreading moisture and water damage effects. This top layer gets detached from a tack strip to remove padding without further damage to the carpet.

• Walls – Drywall can absorb moisture fast but does not always require controlled demolition. Centrifugal air movers can promote evaporation whenpossible.

Does SERVPRO Conduct Controlled Demolition?

A contractor license permits our team to offer controlled demolition when materials become destroyed by standing/spreading water. We can also provide necessary reconstruction services after water restoration.

Water damage can be destructive in area homes. Our SERVPRO of Fort Pierce NE team can help when you call (772) 362-7060.
