A Broken Pipe in Dallas, TX

Water Main Damage in Commercial Building

What should you worry about after a large water damage?

Secondary Damage - The original damage is from the water main breaking and flooding the building. Secondary damage occurs when the water sits for too long. Here are some secondary damage issues:

1. Carpet Backing Delamination - the glue will start to peel away from the carpet fibers.
2. Mold Growth - after 24 or 48 hours mold will begin to grow on wet materials
3. Excess Humidity - evaporation starts and the humidity will raise drastically ruining electronics and art.

The best way to avoid Secondary Damage is to call SERVPRO of Northeast Dallas to extract and dry the building quickly.
