Water Damage Backup

Call us today if you think you have hidden water damage.

Did you know your refrigerator can cause water damage?

Recently, we had a homeowner call and tell us about her refrigerator that had backed up and poured water for several hours. She did get the water cleaned up but the water also leaked into her unfinished basement. Luckily there was no standing water, but she did notice water on her ceiling joists and that the basement floors were a little wet. 

She call SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties for help because even though she got most of the water up, she had hardwood flooring. Her flooring was her main concern but water can permeate under flooring and create a mess. 

This customer was happy she called us because we could use a moisture meter to test and see if water was holding under her floors. When you have water that does not dry quickly it can create a mold problem under the floors. 

We were able to test and let her know she did have water holding underneath her floors so we could set equipment to get it dry.
