Leaking washing machines are a leading cause of water damage. Insect your hoses often for signs of wear.

Extracting Water Damage from a Pembroke Pines Laundry Room 

Water damage can happen anywhere and at any time. All it takes is a cracked gasket, leaky hose, or rusty connector to introduce water into the home. Once there, it can wreak havoc on drywall, flooring, subflooring, and furniture if left unchecked. 

If your Pembroke Pines home has suffered water damage, SERVPRO technicians can come to your home within hours of your call to begin the cleanup process. Not only does SERVPRO help homeowners reclaim their residences after a disaster, this team knows the value that comes with participating in the community. This franchise assists and is affiliated with the Pembroke Pines Foodbank as well as the Pembroke Pines/Miramar Chamber of Commerce and the Community Apartment Institute. Franchise owner Morena D. Fenero is also an active member of the local Humane Society. 

SERVPRO's Training Programs 

SERVPRO technicians, staff, and franchise owners receive extensive training in disaster mitigation techniques and theory on top of franchise training and Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) certification courses. On top of their training in fire, water, and mold damage mitigation and remediation, employees can undertake self-paced online learning opportunities to round out their education further.       

How SERVPRO Restores Homes 

SERVPRO uses a variety of methods to address water damage in your home but follows a specific process to ensure safe and thorough drying each time. If the damage stems from damaged washing machine hoses leaking onto your floor, technicians use moisture measurement technologies to determine whether water has penetrated flooring. Ceramic tile and other hard flooring solutions hold up well against water. Still, other types of flooring, especially those with vapor barriers installed, may pose challenges for effective drying and can delaminate with enough exposure to moisture. 

After assessing moisture levels in surfaces, technicians can use portable, back-mounted extractors, squeegees, and wet/dry vacuums to remove water. Air movers and dehumidifiers can then dry the space to safe levels. EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions aid in both removing bacteria and mitigating light odors. 

SERVPRO of East Pembroke Pines wants to ensure that your home looks, "Like it never even happened." Call (954) 998-0600 for rapid disaster cleanup.
