General guidelines suggest having your roof professionally checked every 3-5 years depending on the material. This is to ensure there are no major cracks or leaks where water could go in. This is a photo of one of the many areas in the Hearthstone retirement home where water was flooding in due to rain. Do you have a leaky roof that needs to be tarped? Give SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast a call at (813) 694-9092.

Water works in mysterious ways and no two water damages are the same. Here is one of those cases where water flowed in from the roof, affecting one of the cabinets. Notice how the water was pulling the cabinets apart from the staples. In some cases like this one, insurance will cover to replace all of the cabinets whether affected or not. SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast got to work packing out all the items from the cabinets, drawers, etc. before disassembling the cabinets. Our customer was very pleased with the quick mitigation process and the wife loved her brand new kitchen!

A twisted or snapped supply line is one of the most common issues in a water damage, especially for a washing machine where large volumes of water flow in a short amount of time. That was the case when this two story apartment flooded from the washer down into the downstairs kitchen. In order to dry the ceiling from above, crews cut out the wet ceiling and duct plastic into the small cutout to circulate airflow. This is a quick and efficient SERVPRO process to dry out tough to reach materials. Our customer couldn't believe how quickly we were able to dry out their home. We make disaster "Like it never even happened." 

This was the aftermath of a broken HVAC supply line that leaked into the utility and bathroom. There was significant damage to the bathroom, utility room, and living room. When vanities are affected, they are either removed or modified to allow for drying. SERVPRO crews drilled small holes into the toe kick to allow air circulation thus saving the vanity and sink. This allows more minimal demolition and quicker put back time. All that is needed after mitigation is the put back of the toe kick! For all your water-related cleanup needs give SERVPRO of Tampa Southeast a call. 

Not all water damages are the same, water will move in the direction of least resistance like in this case. Water cascaded down from the sink pipe into the crawlspace.
