How the Water Damage Clean-Up Process Works In Your Home

Our experts at ServiceMaster Restoration by Cross are here to assist you when water pipes burst in your home. Our water damage clean-up effort will treat every part of your property harmed by a burst pipe.

A burst water pipe can leave hundreds of gallons of water in your home, plus it can trigger the growth of mold all around. The burst could come from freezing conditions or outside forces penetrating your pipes. Whatever the issue, our team at ServiceMaster Restoration by Cross will be there as soon as you need us to fix the issue.

Protecting Your Property

Part of what to do after a pipe bursts involves ensuring the damage doesn’t become worse. We can identify the source of the water leak and shut off the connection to keep new water from entering. We can also remove all fixtures and other items that might have been damaged. Our team can also shut off the power to your home if necessary. Sometimes the water damage might become an electrical hazard due to items being too close to outlets or other electrical features.

Secure Removal Efforts

The water damage clean-up effort starts by using the right materials to remove excess water. We can start by using industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air-moving fans to keep the moisture down. Dehumidifiers help remove excess moisture from the property, making it easier for us to dry out the space.

We can also remove potentially fragile items from your property before they become at risk of being damaged. We can remove documents and other items that might be hurt by excess moisture and humidity.

Clearing Out Water

Our water removal effort includes the use of industrial-strength vacuums and hoses to clear out inches or feet of water at a time. Our experts will have the necessary truck-mounted equipment on hand to safely remove the water. Our work is safer than if you tried handling the issue yourself. Attempting to clear the water yourself can be dangerous, as it might be an electrical hazard.

Treating Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew may be left after the water is cleared out. Mold can develop in standing water, while mildew can grow from excess water and can damage some surfaces. Our team will clean these issues out of your home before things can get worse.
