Professional Water Damage Services for Bainbridge Island Homes

When dealing with water damage, swift and thorough inspections are crucial for effectively identifying and mitigating the damage. Bainbridge Island water restoration companies understand the importance of accurate inspections in ensuring a safe and complete recovery for homeowners' property. A professional inspection helps uncover hidden moisture, preventing future problems like mold growth, corroded electrical wiring, saturated insulation, and structural damage.

SERVPRO® is the premier water restoration company in Bainbridge Island because of its commitment to comprehensive service, extensive and continuous training, and constant availability when disaster occurs. A well-executed inspection goes beyond identifying visible damage. It detects moisture behind walls, under floors, and other hidden areas, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the property's condition.

Common Problems Caused by Undetected Water Damage

Water damage that isn't properly inspected can lead to several issues within a property, such as:

• Hidden moisture fosters mold spores and hyphae, which can spread as little as 24 hours after damage occurs.
• Water exposure weakens walls, floors, and foundations the longer it lingers.
• Elevated moisture compromises essential structural components like HVAC or electrical systems.

SERVPRO Tools for Water Damage Inspections

SERVPRO employs multiple advanced tools and techniques to inspect water-damaged properties thoroughly. This multi-pronged approach to inspection allows technicians to formulate a comprehensive restoration plan that leaves no stone unturned.

• Moisture sensors and meters measure the moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings to identify areas that need attention.
• Infrared cameras readily visualize temperature variations caused by moisture, revealing hidden water behind walls and under flooring.
• Thermohygrometers and other specialized air quality monitoring tools can determine humidity levels and detect the presence of mold on a property.

SERVPRO of Kitsap County provides Faster to any size disaster™ services beyond what many water restoration companies can offer Bainbridge Island residents, including build-back services after cleanup. Contact our team anytime by calling (360) 373-1290.

Mitigate Water Damage with Expert Help

When water leaks occur in your home, taking immediate action is essential. Restoration professionals like ours respond quickly to assess the situation and begin mitigation to prevent permanent damage to your flooring and other elements. Many trust the experience of SERVPRO® in these situations to know what to do next.

Removing the Initial Water Threat

It is imperative to rapidly address water damage in Bremerton properties to prevent further damage to other units due to migrating moisture. The flooring is often the most severely impacted area, as water accumulates on these lower surfaces and seeps into their pores.

• Carpets – Weighted extraction and carpet wands are the most effective methods for immediate water removal from carpeted floors. However, achieving thorough drying may require additional processes. One such effective method is floating, which involves placing a powerful air mover between the padding and carpet layer of flooring, thereby drying both simultaneously. Our technicians are IICRC-certified.
• Plank Flooring—Moisture does not take long to permanently alter plank flooring. The best way to prevent this is by using drying mats that efficiently extract moisture from the plank floors and the subflooring materials underneath, thus preventing the water from becoming bound to the plank and causing distortion.
• Tile – Although tiles are non-porous, standing water can still be a nuisance and threaten other areas of your home when they accumulate in your kitchen or bathroom. However, you can manage this threat effectively by extracting the water using appropriate tools such as squeegee wands.
