Water Leak Under house

6/4/2021 (Permalink)

Here are under ground pipes that are old and have been leaking for months, causing moisture and damage to the home.

It is a very common fact that pipes under homes with raised foundations get old and warn and are apt to crack causing a spray of a fine mist of water up towards the floor of these homes.

For weeks this can go un-noticed. Eventually, the mist collects a larger area of moisture which causes a softening of the wood and flooring materials. This is when the homeowner recognizes a flexible softness to inside flooring.

That is when they reach out to their plumber who explains what they find under the home which is normally extensive damage needing mold clean up, a dry-out of the moisture as well as a re-build to the floor.

When the homeowner reaches out to their insurance provider, the insurance provider always advises to contact SERVPRO. Insurance companies know that SERVPRO is not just the leader in drying out water damage but that SERVPRO also rebuilds the damaged home back to a strong new floor for the safety of the homeowner.
