If your garbage disposal causes a mess in your kitchen, call on the professional at SERVPRO for quick and thorough water damage restoration.

Trust SERVPRO with Your Water Damage Restoration Needs

Garbage disposals are useful tools to have in your Phoenix kitchen. However, if they are not used correctly, they can create massive amounts of water damage in your kitchen and surrounding areas from a clog, leak, or burst pipe. Plus, it is usually not only water which leaks from a garbage disposal. It is also food and whatever other waste you have tried to dispose of.

When your disposal fails and creates water damage in your Phoenix home, you can be dealing with extensive damage from a significant amount of water. The kind of mess water can leave behind is a lot to handle on your own, so trusting our technicians at SERVPRO is your best bet. We deal with water damage every day and have the tools and training to get your home back to normal as soon as possible.

Our priority is to contain the damage and extract any standing water. All wet materials in the floor such as throw rugs are removed from the affected area. After we have the water extracted, we also remove any wet surfaces on the flooring or your cabinets. Baseboards sometimes are removed as well, and cabinet drawers and doors are opened. All these things help to accelerate the drying process.

Once SERVPRO techs have extracted all the wet materials, we can begin the drying process. Commercial grade equipment, such as dehumidifiers and air movers are used to generate dry air and increase evaporation and air circulation. We monitor the environment daily during the drying process and record the results of the progress. At this time, we also move the drying equipment if needed for the optimal drying time. Average drying time is around two to four days depending on the materials impacted and how severe the water damage was.

When your structure is dry, we inspect to make sure there are no hidden moisture pockets that could result in more damage such as mold growth. We then restore or replace any building materials that were damaged, so your home is fully returned to a healthy and safe dwelling place.

SERVPRO of Phoenix wants to make sure your home is back to the way it was before the water emergency, so we make sure we are thorough in our process of remediation. Give us a call right away at (480) 503-2090 when you need help cleaning up a water damage mess.
