Small Amounts of Water Damage Cause Big Problems in Lenoir City Homes

One of the most prevalent issues we see regarding water damage in homes happens with small-scale water loss events. After a pipe break or appliance leak, the homeowners use a wet/dry vac or sop up the water with towels and consider the issue handled. Then a short time later they notice a musty odor — one of the biggest giveaways of incomplete water cleanup.

No matter how the water damage happened in your Lenoir City home, it is crucial to engage professional cleanup to ensure moisture has not wicked into drywall, traveled behind baseboards, under flooring or behind walls. Excess moisture usually cannot be readily seen without the use of detection equipment such as probes or thermal imaging.

As SERVPRO technicians locate raised levels of moisture, those areas receive attention to inspect building materials and determine if our drying and cleaning methods allow for the restoration of the materials. Baseboards are notorious for holding moisture, and our technicians sometimes need to remove them to allow for adequate airflow behind the wall.

We use air movers to lower the moisture levels in rooms in tandem with dehumidifiers. The Injecti-Dry system is our go-to solution for concentrating warm, dry air behind walls or flooring and rapidly reduces water vapor. Even hardwood flooring that has experienced buckling or warping may be restored through complete drying methods if remediation efforts begin quickly enough after the initial event.

After thorough drying and cleaning with our professional solutions to eliminate the musty odor that water leaves behind, the potential for mold growth is addressed at this stage of restoration to ensure it is not an issue. Moisture readings determine the room meets established drying goals and a detailed cleaning with our powerful antifungal cleaners inhibit the growth of mold.
