Trust the local PROS with SERVPRO of Western Dutchess County to handle all aspects of water damage in your home!

On a daily basis, about 14,000 Americans encounter water damage in the home. It’s a common occurrence, but that doesn’t make it any easier on those who experience it!

By contacting your local SERVPRO team, we will get you through the tough times. Here’s what you can expect when you have our team handing your water damage cleanup:

Emergency Contact. We understand that when an emergency happens, you need help instantly and don’t have time to spare. When you call us we spring into action. We’ll ask targeted, specific questions to determine the nature of your disaster and set up an appointment to visit your home for an in-person assessment.

Inspection and Water Damage Assessment. When we arrive at your home, the first thing we’ll do is ensure that the water has been turned off at the main source. Obviously, stopping the water leak or other source of water damage is the most important step. Then we will walk around your home, assessing the damage and noting any potential hazards. From there, we’ll develop a plan for next steps.

Water Removal. The first thing we need to do is remove the standing water in your home. To do this, we have powerful pumps and extraction units that will get rid of hundreds or thousands of gallons of water. This will help reduce the overall drying time for your home and prevent mold growth.

Damaged Material Removal. Anything that water has touched in your home will either need to be replaced or restored. Our goal is to restore as much as possible, but some items may be damaged beyond repair. We’ll swiftly remove those and prepare for replacement.

Cleaning, Sanitizing and Deodorization. Water that seeps into furniture or sheetrock can leave behind nasty odors and hazards, so it’s important to sanitize and deodorize the home. We have the cutting-edge equipment to do just that.

Drying. After standing water is removed, it’s important to remember that there is probably still excess moisture in the home that you should concern yourself with. Excess moisture from any source can quickly contribute to mold growth. We will use powerful technology to restore a normal moisture balance.

Monitoring. As your home dries out, we will remain in constant contact with you and make daily visits to ensure that it’s drying properly. We will adjust equipment if needed, and monitor the entire situation to make sure things are proceeding smoothly and quickly.

Repairs and Construction. At the end, the last and final step is to restore your home. Whether your home requires a minor repair or something large like a rebuild, we will get it done for you. Consider us your one-stop-shop for water damage repair and restoration.

When water damage strikes, make the call to SERVPRO of Western Dutchess County for A-to-Z cleanup and restoration. We’ll make your damaged property look “Like it never even happened.”
