Servicing Water Damage Restoration in Franklin Township NJ and all surrounding cities in Somerset & Middlesex Counties

When it comes to dealing with property damage, water damage is a universal experience as just about every home or building has experienced it in some form. Rain, overflows, leaks, and burst pipes are just some of the factors that can lead to water damage. The quickness of your reaction is very important because porous building materials allow the water to spread through them which increases the risk of structural damage or mold growth. ServiceMaster Restoration by Complete provides water damage restoration services in Franklin Township NJ. We supply a water removal service so we can effectively extract excess water from residential and commercial settings and we arrive within 1-2 hours of your initial call to contain the damage.

Water damage can lead to major problems the longer it is ignored because it will get absorbed deeper into flooring, wood, insulation, drywall, and other porous building materials. These building materials become weak or warped when inundated with water, greatly increasing the risk of extensive structural damage. Homes and buildings that experience water damage are also likely to experience mold growth which can accelerate structural damage while possibly triggering certain health issues like allergies and infection. We can remove any amount of water including standing flood water with our water extraction equipment and our drying process can extract moisture from affected furnishings, structural elements, and personal items.

Our water damage restoration services in Franklin Township NJ consist of the following steps:

• Emergency Response: We arrive quickly to contain the excess water and moisture and inspect the damage to form the appropriate restoration plan.

Following these tips after you call ServiceMaster Restoration by Complete can help prevent further damage.
