Flood Damage from a Leaky Roof can Harm Your Entire House in Marlborough

Flooding that ruins the inside of a home in Marlborough does not always enter through the doorways. Heavy rainfall can end up inside a house. Entry points in the roof can soak the insulation and anything else in the area. Excess water can trickle down into your living area when unobstructed pathways permit this to happen.

At SERVPRO, when we get a call to mitigate a home in Marlborough of flood damage, we send out mitigation specialists with extensive experience and certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Our employees use technology to detect invasive water, measure its presence, and then to remove it from your home altogether, leaving it “Like it never even happened.”

Flooding that arrives at your home and passes over the threshold carries a multitude of contaminants. While the rain that gets pushed into a window does not carry the same threat that dirtier water does, the rain that travels through your home can carry several substances that the water either picks up or dissolves. This contamination that occurs inside your house can warrant the need for mitigation work similar to that needed for on-the-ground flooding.

Inside an attic, dust and microbes get swept into the water, as well as any traces of any chemicals added to the attic's interior. Chemicals from mothballs on the attic's floor or in clothing stored directly below a leaky area, for example, and other unwanted substances can make its way into your living space below. Because of the possibility of contamination, SERVPRO's flood damage specialists use decontamination methods to ensure your home gets not only dry but clean, too.

Below the attic, in the rooms occupied by your family, the use of infrared imaging cameras helps locate where the rain spread after coming into your house. With centrifugal air movers and other desiccation equipment, we remove the water that continues to damage and spread within the structure. We remove as little as possible, making repairs and cleaning instead.

SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord's professional flood damage mitigation team can help with any degree of flooding, no matter how insignificant it might seem at first. Call us at (978) 486-9868, day or night, year-round, so we can help you protect your home in Stow, Maynard, of Boxborough.
