One of the devices used to complete a water damage inspection.

Many times, we hear customer mention that they’ve shop vacuumed up the water, or its not dripping anymore do I really need to do anything else? The answer is YES! Water damage can hide beneath the surface and cannot properly be judged by appearance or touch.

When SERVPRO of Chambersburg’s trained water technicians arrive on site they are not only equipment with a vast amount of knowledge, they have several industry moisture meters to properly assess the situation. It’s better to call sooner than later as if they materials do become dry without proper drying it would have taken longer then recommended.  During that time areas you cannot see can grow mold. Mold starts for form as little as 48-72 from the water intrusion.

The water damage bill that you’ve attempted to avoid has doubled in cost into a mold remediation and now your family’s health may be impacted. Failure to remediate the water damage by delaying in contacting a professional like SERVPRO could impact your insurance claim coverage due to negligence.
