Moisture found under tiles

Checking for, and finding, moisture where the homeowner was sure there wasn't.

A homeowner had a slow refrigerator leak that went undiscovered for quite some time.  He shut the water off, moved the fridge, and mopped up the water sitting on his tile floor.  But, he was concerned about moisture inside the walls, so he called SERVPRO Bedford Park/Burbank.

The homeowner's concerns proved true; there was water inside the walls.  But, he was amazed to find that we discovered moisture under his tile floor as well.  He was also surprised to find out that the water migrated through the wall into a closet on the other side.  Left to dry on its own, mold growth was a definite possibility in this case.

Checking for water migration is just one of the protocols that SERVPRO Bedford Park/Burbank knows to do on all water damages.  It only takes a few moments to rule in or rule out certain areas, when using the proper inspection tools.

If your home or business has suffered from a water loss, be it large or small, call the experts at SERVPRO Bedford Park/Burbank.  Call 708-430-3600 and you will talk to a live person 24/7/365.  Peace of mind is simply a phone call away!
