Call SERVPRO of Santa Clara today, (408) 392-9700!

This tragic photo is witness to something a Homeowner never wants to experience upon coming back home from a vacation; this unfortunate residence fell victim to an enormous second story toilet overflow as the home was unoccupied for multiple days. The ongoing flow of water continued its persistent flow, wreaking havoc through most of the beautiful home. SERVPRO of Santa Clara received notice of this loss when the Homeowner called into our office after a holiday weekend and we were able to be onsite within 30 minutes to start the mitigation process.

Note to Homeowners: if you plan to leave a property unattended for a vacation, even if only for a short period of time, it is a good practice to turn of the property’s water supply and take a quick walk around before leaving to ensure all appliances are in order.

Even still, some water damages are unavoidable. If you find yourself in need of water mitigation services, call SERVPRO of Santa Clara to have a highly trained professional get your property back on track, (408) 392-9700.

Call SERVPRO of Santa Clara to help with your water damages today!

Some Homeowners may react to a water damage by throwing down a few towels to clean up the standing water, maybe even placing a fan or two in the area to help circulate the air flow. However, the structural damage may be much worse than one may think or see visually, and not addressing the full problem will lead to bigger issues down the road. There is a science behind SERVPRO of Santa Clara’s drying processes.

SERVPRO of Santa Clara's professionals continually go through a series of trainings to stay current with the industry standards of the science of water mitigation. Holding to specific processes helps to minimize the possibilities of secondary damages (i.e. microbial growth). When you call SERVPRO of Santa Clara to assist with your damages, you can expect our trained professionals to:

• Take a full scope/inspection of the property and the loss area to detect and chase the hidden moisture
• Document extensive measurements of the damages and effected materials to fully communicate the onsite conditions to you and your property insurance carrier
• Strategically install specialized equipment to expedite the drying process and monitor that equipment to ensure its highest level of productivity

Don’t let Rainwater Intrusion Damage your home:

Water intrusion can happen to anyone - call our office today!

With winter nearing and possible rainstorms pending, some homes may start to see damages from rainwater intrusion. If your home is experiencing any kind of water intrusion, the first and most imperative step is to repair or resolve the source of the intrusion to stop further damage. This could be by means of a roof tarp, sand bags, sump pump, French drain, or a combination of these depending on your unique situation.

Once the origin of the intrusion has been addressed, your second vital step would be to call SERVPRO of Santa Clara (408) 392-9700. During our moisture inspection, we would determine which materials sustained damage, the severity of the damages, and provide an estimate to dry the structure.

Making the mistake of ignoring water damaged materials is guaranteed to result in secondary damages and mold contamination. For mold to colonize, the organism needs moisture and food. The moisture allows the mold to assimilate and digest its food. The “food” would be considered anything cellulosic (which in layman’s terms means anything derived from plants). Many of the materials used to construct homes are cellulosic, i.e. the paper on drywall and on the backing of vinyl floors, the wood used to frame your home, or any wooden floors, doors, baseboards, trim, etc. etc. The presence of mold contamination within your home will not only damage the structure, but will create an unhealthy indoor environment for you and your loved ones.

If your home has sustained moisture or mold damage, do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of Santa Clara today (408) 392-9700. SERVPRO of Santa Clara has an American Council for Accredited Certification (ACAC), Council Certified Microbial Remediation Supervisor on staff who can guide you through the remediation process.
