The first step to resolving water damage is calling your local trained professionals at SERVPRO.

Fight Mold, Rot, and Odors with Water Cleanup

SERVPRO can help clean your Mill Basin home and reduce the risk of secondary damage after a water leak. Secondary water damage is not always the physical kind that requires building repairs or painting. Water cleanup is something that SERVPRO provides that comes with many benefits.

When a Mill Basin home needs water cleanup, we know that in the future, this home is much less likely to need services for mold, additional water damage, or odors. We restore your house to an optimal humidity level by removing all the water and then drying out the affected area. 

Water can bring about so much damage in a home that even elevated amounts of humidity need correcting as quickly as possible. Some things that can adversely happen to your residence if you do not have SERVPRO carry out water cleanup services promptly:

• Microbial overgrowths and infestations,
• Dry rot and deterioration of materials, and
• Foul, stagnant odors that seem to come from ‘somewhere.’

Even slight elevations of dampness can permit microbes like mold and mildew to take over your home. Any place with cellulose becomes a possible harbor. Let us help you in protecting your home from this with our targeted services.

Microbes cause a lot of deterioration because they grow into the materials they infest, breaking them down from the start. Carpeting and other floor coverings are notorious for falling apart when left damp for too long. We can help prevent this, also.

Odors develop in homes that need work focused on water’s presence. These odors happen because of water’s ability to break things down into small enough pieces that they become airborne. Mold can also cause smells from what it destroys or the spores it uses to reproduce. 

None of these situations need to happen inside your property. We can help prevent these and other problems from becoming costly emergencies. Let SERVPRO of Mill Basin, Flatlands help protect your home from the potential problems caused by escaped water. Call us for assistance at (718) 381-3271.
