Professionals Best Handle Poughkeepsie Water Damages

Poughkeepsie water damage can be tough to handle on your own. Between the surprisingly difficult cleanup work, necessary specialist treatments for specific situations, and the lack of an expert eye to identify potential safety issues and signs of hidden damage, handling most damage scenarios can be impossible for an unassisted household. Companies like SERVPRO exist to bring the expertise and manpower needed to quickly address these catastrophes without allowing additional problems such as mold damage to crop up later on. Our locally-owned company stocks tools and equipment used for industrial-scale water cleanup work around the country, and we cut no corners for local homeowners and communities.  

Water Damage Restoration

Water damage in Poughkeepsie happens more often than you might think. In addition to storms and rainfall, water lines and water-dependent appliances in your home can also cause floods and spills that may need more than just some rags and mops to clean up. When water soaks into flooring materials, wall trim, and other porous materials in your home, it may take much heavier equipment and drying solutions than you might expect to avoid causing any additional damage later on.  

Relatively small leaks can also cause long-term water damage to your home by facilitating mold growth and wearing away at materials around the house. We use infrared and thermal detection devices to identify pockets of moisture and provide targeted treatments that eliminate damage at the source, cleaning up the effects resulting from the incident and ensuring that the same source causes no further damage. We also make sure to rigorously inspect the area for any potential safety issues such as possibly damaged outlets and electrical sources, signs of mold growth, and in some severe cases, possible imminent structural collapse.
