Water damage is no joke, as it can cause severe destruction to structural elements of buildings, personal belongings, and important equipment if left untreated. If you discover excess water and moisture on your property, it is important to get a professional inspection completed as soon as possible to prevent further damage and harmful mold growth.
In many cases, the extent of the damage is greater than what is visible to an untrained eye. As time passes, the water can penetrate porous building materials (such as wood, drywall, and flooring), cause damage to these materials, and spread throughout the property. At Water Damage Drying Services, we offer water damage restoration services to restore the buildings and belongings of affected property owners in Manchester, CT and the surrounding areas.
Water Damage Restoration Manchester, CT
In the Northeast, burst pipes, ice dams and sprinkler head breaks are a common problem during cold winter months. This occurs when the water within these pipes freezes, expands, and ruptures the pipes. Once a pipe bursts, water will freely flow onto your property, and pose a risk to anything in its path.
Whether the water damage occurs from a burst pipe, sewage backup, major storm, flood, or broken appliances or water heaters, we have the equipment, products and procedures to remove it. Our Water Damage Drying Services technicians are highly trained and certified in a variety of water extraction and drying techniques and will restore affected areas and your belongings in the process.
