Leaks Cause Large Water Losses in Destin Homes

Leaks cause approximately 14% of wasted water in homes. That adds up quickly when it comes to water bills. Drips and leaks can also cause hidden damage. This can slowly destroy walls, ceilings, and structural components. To prevent these problems, early mitigation is needed. 

How is the Plumbing Between the Floors Handled?

When IICRC technicians arrive, they do a scope of the situation. This allows them to determine what water restoration steps in Destin are necessary. Whenever there is plumbing between the upper level and the ceiling, water leaks can cause serious damage. We respond to emergencies fast and provide emergency water mitigation to protect non-affected areas and prevent further loss. The scope does several things:

•    Water Migration – The techs examine the moisture content, and water migration is tracked. It also tells them which structural components are impacted, even if no sign of water damage is present.

•    Material Affected – They locate the affected material and then test for moisture content with moisture sensors. Moisture probes can determine where the leak began. 

•    Replacement Needed – The team also looks for irreparable damage. These are portions of the ceiling and wall that may need to be replaced. Ceiling tiles often fall into this category. It is most often more cost-effective to replace, rather than repair, them.

Working with plumbing that is in between floors is not always easy, but with our advanced technology and experience, we can provide water damage remediation that can restore your home. Ceiling repairs from water damage are one of the things we do best. Contact SERVPRO of Fort Walton Beach at (850) 863-2552 for ceiling leaks and more.
