Clearing Standing Water from a Damaged Raleigh Bathroom

8/4/2021 (Permalink)

Bathrooms are common places for water damage. No matter the source of the leak, SERVPRO is ready to restore your home.

Many Materials Can Become Impacted by Water Exposure After a Leak in a Raleigh Home

The bathroom is a common area for water damage to form. When standing water is present, our mitigation strategies start with effective extraction from the tiled bathroom floors. 

Removing Water from Tile Flooring in the Bathroom

Water damage cleanup for Raleigh homes begins with the most heavily damaged house areas and works out. With the bathroom often being a centerpiece for many flooding and heavy water damage scenarios, there are many situations where water removal and cleaning are required for materials like tile flooring and other exposed elements. Removing standing water on tile floors happens with several extraction units ranging from wet vacuums to squeegee wands. 

Removing Trapped Water from Exposed Building Materials 

Beyond cleaning up tile flooring common to the bathroom area, other materials can also be impacted by standing water before cleanup, such as wood trim, drywall, and the structural cavities beyond. Drying and removing trapped moisture to these areas involves several tools like:

• Wet vacuums
• Positive pressure systems
• Low-profile centrifugal air movers

After leaking ceilings or damaged plumbing, a persistent leak in the bathroom of your home can lead to considerable damages. Our fast response to these emergencies can ensure that appropriate mitigation services get underway to protect installed elements. Call our SERVPRO of South Cary / Apex team today at (919) 615-1160.
