Don’t let water damage overwhelm you, call the professionals at SERVPRO of Fort Lee.

Dry Up a Shower Drain Leak with Water Removal

Taking a nice hot shower after an entire day of yard work around your Edgewater home, you may not realize your shower drain is leaking all over the floor downstairs. When this happens, you need emergency water removal. SERVPRO is there when you need a professional team to restore your home, so it’s “Like it never even happened.”

In Edgewater, to protect homes from severe water damage, SERVPRO performs water removal services. Because damage from water happens very quickly, our crews also act and work fast to remove the water to get things dry, eliminating a lot of potential damage our customers’ properties might have sustained. 

Between calling us and the time that we arrive, there are some things that you can do to help us perform water removal work even faster and more effectively. These are small things you can do, including:

• Having any small furniture items removed out of the way,
• If the air outside is warmer and drier than inside, please open up some windows and doors, and 
• Let others in the home know that the tub and shower are off-limits until further notice.

End tables, coffee tables, smaller chairs, and the like might not only stain your carpeting when wet, but they can leave deeper-than-necessary depressions in the carpet and pad. 

Moisture moves from cool, damp areas toward warm, dry places because of its natural inclination for equilibrium. Clearing the air of any humidity gives us a head start on removing misplaced water entirely from your home’s living space.

Leaks like this are never self-sealing and require a licensed plumber. We work with several and can give you their information. As soon as the plumber has finished fixing the leak, we can start working on your ceiling and any other areas that require restoration, even as we continue drying the area.

Property owners can call SERVPRO of Fort Lee at (201) 496-6024 for fast assistance with this and any other disaster.
