SERVPRO Technicians Can Restore and Repair Properties in Dallas with Water Damage

When a Dallas homeowner decides to renovate their home, several different professionals such as plumbers, electricians, and painters can all be on-site at the same time. Even the best-trained pros can make mistakes, and sometimes accidents or mishaps cause water damage during a reconstruction project.

Plumbing mishaps are the most common type of issue that causes a Dallas property to need water restoration services by SERVPRO. In particular, bathroom remodeling can cause different water damage issues such as : 

• Leaks 
• Poor drainage
• Accidents with supply lines

Sometimes thoughtfully chosen upgrades can cause water damage the homeowner never considered. A good example of this is adding a diverter spout to attach a handheld shower. However, this addition can create a blowback problem and spray water behind the shower wall every time the shower gets used. Over time this repeated introduction of moisture in an area that should remain dry can cause buckling of the walls, loose tiles, and it can set up an ideal environment for mold growth.

If a leak gets noticed by either the homeowner or contractor, it is a good idea to bring in professional water cleanup services. SERVPRO technicians can clean up the water and dry the property so the remodeling project can continue without incurring damage to the property.

This includes if the area of the home undergoing contracting work requires both extraction and drying services. The technicians work in tandem with contractors to resolve issues and make sure any migrating moisture gets addressed. The techs work hard to ensure the remodeling job continues to go forward for the client.
