A common concern when water damage goes untreated is mold growth and damage.

Water Damage Remediation In Lehi

Before the weather cools and precipitation changes from rain to snow in Lehi, smart homeowners make sure gutters are clear and well-draining and attics sealed and well insulated. Clogged and damaged gutters and downspouts place your home at high risk for water infiltration from the freeze and thaw cycle occurring during the winter months. If missed maintenance means water makes its way inside, we can help.

The threat of water damage in your Lehi home from moisture that forces its way inside when ice dams build up is a real and a common problem. Clearing leaves, twigs, granulation, and other debris from gutters as a routine fall task is a great way to limit the risk. Inspecting interiors at the roofline to check for and repair warm air leaks reduces the possibility that any snow buildup melts and seeps into the upper reaches of your home.

If a severe winter exposes the ceilings and walls in your upper levels to leaking despite your best efforts, SERVPRO crews are experts at tracing water migration and halting the damage it can create. It is crucial to remove or dry any moisture that infiltrates the structure of your home from clogged gutters, ice dams, or poorly maintained roofing materials. Water can take complicated and unexpected paths once it enters a home, causing severe damage far from the original entry location.

Failure to attend to water damage risks crumbling and staining of drywall, deterioration of insulation, and water movement that can affect every level of your home and every type of building material, fixture, or contents. SERVPRO crews recommend aggressive water damage mitigation, including investigation of any hidden harm behind walls and in recesses, to avoid spreading the destruction water causes.

A common concern when water damage goes untreated is mold growth and damage. Mold needs only a tiny amount of water to grow, multiplying in areas of your home not often inspected like the interior adjacent to the eaves and the roof. SERVPRO evaluates all aspects of your home’s condition after water invades to ensure we catch any microbial proliferation.
