We Have The Best Equipment

When we are called to a water damaged space, it is essential to be able to rapidly determine the extent of water damage in the home or business.

Getting your home or business dry and clean is imperative in the aftermath of damage. With excess moisture, mold and mildew can develop and bacteria can multiply. That’s why SERVPRO of New Kent, Williamsburg & Northern Neck uses moisture meters during and after completion of water remediation work to ensure that structures are properly dried.

Moisture meters can reach areas that may be overlooked or not considered as being affected by moisture. These include areas such as basement walls, spaces between layers of drywall, concrete subfloors, and beneath carpet and tile. Identifying potential damage to these lesser-suspected areas can save thousands of dollars in reconstruction later. We evaluate not only the water that you can see, but the water that you can't see that is hidden in cavities. 

SERVPRO of New Kent, Williamsburg & Northern Neck  provides 24-hour emergency service and is dedicated to being faster to any-sized disaster. We can respond immediately to your emergency and have the expertise to handle your restoration or cleaning needs.

As weather continues to heat up you may begin to notice signs of mold in your home. Read below to get a step ahead of these signs and stop mold growth before it becomes a major, and costly problem.

Leaks or Past Water Damage

If you have experienced recent or past water damage, or if you notice there is a current leak in your home, mold growth may have taken place. Mold grows in dark; moist environments and a leak can provide enough moisture for mold growth. Additionally, past floods can contribute to mold growth. To prevent water damage from turning into mold, act quickly to dry up any leaks or spills and if it is major damage, contact a professional remediation company, such as SERVPRO, to clean it up fast.

Smell

If you notice a musty odor, especially one coming from a basement or crawlspace, this is a very good indicator of mold. Even if you can’t see any discoloration, the smell could be coming from behind the flooring or walls where you can see it. By the time you can smell it, steps should be taken to inspect for mold and then clean or remove and affected materials. SERVPRO of New Kent, Williamsburg & Northern Neck has the skills to do all aspects of Mitigation to Mold Remediation.
