9/3/2024 (Permalink)

If you suspect water damage in your Medford home or want to schedule a thorough inspection, SERVPRO is here to help.

At SERVPRO®, we follow a comprehensive and systematic approach to water damage inspections. Here’s what you can expect during the inspection process:

1. Initial Assessment

Our team starts with a detailed visual inspection of your property. We look for signs of water damage such as stains, discoloration, and warping on walls, ceilings, and floors. This initial assessment helps us identify the areas that require closer examination.

2. Moisture Detection

Using advanced moisture detection tools, we measure moisture levels in various materials and areas of your home. These tools include:

• Moisture Meters: To gauge the moisture content in walls, floors, and other materials.
• Thermohygrometers: To assess both temperature and humidity levels, which can indicate hidden moisture problems.
• Infrared Cameras: To detect temperature differences and locate moisture behind walls, ceilings, and floors.

3. Identify the Source

Determining the source of water damage is crucial for effective remediation. Whether it’s a leaky roof, broken pipe, or faulty appliance, identifying the root cause allows us to address the issue and prevent future damage.

4. Assess the Extent of Damage

We thoroughly examine the affected areas to evaluate the extent of the damage. This includes checking for structural damage, assessing the impact on insulation, and identifying any potential health hazards such as mold growth.

5. Develop a Remediation Plan

Based on our findings, we create a tailored remediation plan to address the water damage. This plan includes steps for water extraction, drying, dehumidification, and repair, ensuring that all affected areas are thoroughly restored.
