Response Time And The SERVPRO Difference

3/20/2020 (Permalink)

Water, fire, and mold damage can happen at any time, and may occur at the most inconvenient of times. SERVPRO of Trumbull, Monroe & Northern Bridgeport provides emergency cleaning and restoration services every day, helping thousands of people every year.  Response time is critical in these situations because of how quickly adverse conditions can develop. It is astonishing how fast this can happen.

Minute One

• The spread of water saturates surfaces
• The water is absorbed into walls, floors, furniture, and personal items
• Paint on walls starts to bubble, and furniture stains bleed, causing stains
• Warping occurs in paper goods and other personal items.
• Any bacteria that is in the water becomes airborne, and absorbed into materials

Day One

• Disintegration begins in drywall
• Tarnishing occurs on metallic materials
• Warping occurs in floors and other wooden items
• Strong odors begin to develop

Two Days

• Mold growth starts to develop
• Metal begins to rust
• Paint begins to blister.
• Severe biohazard risk becomes exponentially greater

Over One Week

• The cost and length of the remediation process becomes much greater.  This is when extensive rebuilding of the structure becomes commonplace.
• The structural integrity becomes severely compromised, and presents serious safety risks.

Faster To Any Size Disaster

Flooding and water damage can occur rapidly, and the different types of damages that it causes start to happen immediately. Rising water and moisture spreads to floors, walls, furniture, and appliances.  As soon as contact is made, damage begins to occur. SERVPRO of Trumbull, Monroe & Northern Bridgeport responds quickly and begins the water extraction procedure almost immediately. This minimizes the amount of immediate and secondary damage that may occur. We specialize in the cleanup and restoration of residential and commercial property after a water damage event.
