The moisture coming from a leaking pipe under your sink can easily spread throughout your home.

SERVPRO Can Help You Get a Handle on Water Damage in Your Home

As busy as our lives might become, eating well and preparing our meals in a clean environment helps protect our health. Phoenix residents often understand the dangers that pathogens and other microscopic organisms can pose, but the one thing that these organisms need the most often comes from the cleanest place in the home - your kitchen sink.

When your Phoenix home's kitchen faucet, sink or drain leaks, water damage can develop behind it, running all over the cabinet's interior, down the back of the wall, or underneath it into the subfloor. This can lead to problems with microbes growing out of control and health effects.

Water never disappears. Even if something dries out after a spill, that water merely went into the air, only to reappear elsewhere in the form of condensation. Until then it stays suspended as increased humidity in the air your family breathes. Having a dehumidifier in your home can help significantly in many situations.

The technicians at SERVPRO can help you protect your home from all types of water damage before they become a reality. Preventative work protects your home's contents, as well, and keeps them dry and undamaged. Restorative work always comes with an increased cost, plus some contents can never become undamaged again after becoming ruined. Replacement costs can never bring back memories associated with keepsakes, in fact, many mementos might no longer have replacements that you could buy, especially if older or one-of-a-kind items face damaging water, moisture, or humidity.

Solving the problem involving your kitchen sink prevents additional water from entering your home. Drying your home out prevents any already-present and existing moisture from continuing to damage your home. Repairing any damage that already exists helps keep your home in perfect shape, and safe for your family.
