SERVPRO Assists Glendale Homeowners in Need of Water Restoration

Water damage occurs unexpectedly, causing great inconvenience. Among these inconveniences are the costs which build up from cleanup, restoration, and item or material replacement. However, you can conveniently manage restoration at your Glendale property by involving a professional team.

The average cost of water damage in Glendale can be as low as $1 to as high as $15 per square foot, depending on factors such as the dissolved contaminants levels or the amount of water involved. Therefore, a burst water pipe is likely several times cheaper to resolve, unlike a situation involving flooding, which drives groundwater into your home. The period materials remain submerged also impacts costs, so your intervention measures determine how conveniently you can resolve an incident.

Actions That Limit Restoration Inconveniences

• Improving extraction speed 
• Packing out contents 
• Creating drying chambers

Letting water sit on your property for days or weeks allows rot, warping, mold, and other long-term changes to develop in materials. Addressing these issues requires teardown to remove and replace the affected materials. When SERVPRO teams use powerful extractors, we can complete the extraction the same day you notify us and embark on other procedures, such as drying and decontamination, thus saving you unnecessary costs.

Managing Contents in a Water-Damaged House

The intruding water may affect items such as furniture and appliances, or the items may stand in your way as you attempt to extract and clean the property. Even when damages do not occur from exposure, they can happen as you manipulate the items out of the way. Our SERVPRO crews can save you the hassle through a pack-out. We have essential resources such as dollies, lifting straps, and portable storage units. We can also move them to one section of the house, especially if it is sectioned off with a vapor barrier, such as a drying chamber.

Benefits Of A Drying Chamber

• It limits moisture from spreading
• It’s easier to pull out moisture with a dehumidifier from the chamber
• It controls the drying rate
