Water Damage After a Water Heater Leak in Your Dallas Home

When water heaters leak, there is a large amount of water on the floor in a short amount of time. Contact SERVPRO to dry out your property.

SERVPRO Technicians Thoroughly Remediate Water Damage and Restore Your Home

Many times, water damage in Dallas comes as an external threat, but sometimes a leak from inside your home can create just as much, or even more, damage. A leaking water heater, for example, can unleash thousands of gallons of water into your residence. It does not even take a large water heater for this type of damage to occur. Most of the time, these leaks are slow and go unnoticed for days. If the water heater is situated on an upper floor, the damage can be even more extensive, as water flows downhill.
 
When your water heater has leaked and caused water damage in your Dallas home, it is essential to have the problem taken care of right away. SERVPRO staff understand the urgency of matters like this, so we do not hesitate in getting to your home once you contact us. We are an experienced water damage remediation company, and we can restore your home to its preloss condition.
 
We pride ourselves in not only our timely service but also how thorough we are. Once we have dried your home back out and fixed the problem that caused the damage in the first place, we remove all equipment. Dehumidifiers, air movers, and other drying equipment are carefully removed, and then we perform a complete inspection.
 
For SERVPRO staff to return your home to its preloss condition, some structural repairs may need to be done. Usually, subcontractors complete repairs that are beyond basic technician procedures. An estimator or office staff schedules subcontract work and our technician finishes the job.
 
We inspect everything to ensure all repairs were done correctly and communicated to our supervisor regarding the status of the job and any steps which need to be done to complete the restoration process. We ensure that everything is done before we leave your home.
 
Part of our inspection includes checking floors to ensure they are not buckled or warped, looking at walls for strength, warping, or buckling, inspecting drywall and structure for damages and insulation for dryness and damage. We also inspect contents to see if any painting or refinishing needs to be done and ensure all electrical work is complete.
 
When you trust SERVPRO of Southeast Dallas County to take care of your water damage, you can rest assured that we take it very seriously and do not leave your home until we have thoroughly gone over everything.
