After water damage, it may seem that the water has disappeared but sometimes that’s not the case. Contact SERVPRO for remediation services.

Homeowners Should Call SERVPRO Technicians in Tallahassee to Ensure Effective Water Damage Restoration in their Homes.

Water seeping into various surfaces of your Tallahassee property can breed mold, weaken your structure, and damage your valuable items. When handled on time, professionals can stop these secondary damages from occurring. Therefore, it is vital to involve a certified and experienced restorer like SERVPRO to get your property back to its pre-damage condition.

How do I identify a reliable restoration company?

Search for a water damage restorer in Tallahassee whose technicians have certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). That means the company can perform effective water damage restoration in your Tallahassee residence. Our team has gone through thorough training in:

• Mold remediation using approved techniques and products. 
• Structural drying utilizing advanced equipment to minimize damage.
• Effective deodorization using a wide range of products.

Our technicians can clean and restore your valuable contents and property safely and correctly.

Can I let the water evaporate on its own?

It is difficult for excess water to evaporate on its own, especially if it has seeped into porous surfaces such as:

• Textiles
• Drywall
• Furniture

These surfaces help spread water and damage in the building further. If the items get damp for over 24 hours, mold growth can occur.   

How can you remove water from my carpet?

For effective drying of the excess water and moisture, we use our advanced equipment. We can use a self-propelled extraction tool to compress your carpet and pad to remove the excess water. We attach the equipment to a vacuum that pulls the excess water from the surface. The machine only leaves moisture behind. Our SERVPRO restorers can use heavy-duty fans and dehumidifiers to dry the area completely.

My property smells awful. Can restorers deal with that?

Moisture can cause odors in your property. However, once we clean the affected area and dry it effectively, the scents can decrease. The awful smell can continue to persist, depending on the intensity of the damage. Our technicians can use IICRC approved deodorization equipment and products to eliminate the unpleasant odors. We often employ several procedures involving different professional devices and products to produce results.

Water seeping into various surfaces in your property can cause huge losses and health hazards. Contact SERVPRO of Central Tallahassee to stop further damage and restore your property to its preloss condition “Like it never even happened.” Talk to us today at (850) 765-5706.
