Water Damage Leads to Bathroom Update in Brandon

The two most common rooms where water damage occurs in a home are the bathroom and kitchen. SERVPRO techs have the knowledge and experience to not only clean up water loss but also address the secondary issues such as mold and stained grout lines.

A Brandon homeowner with water damage in a bathroom vanity had been planning an update for the room but needed the water loss addressed before any changes happened to the appearance of the bathroom.

Drying the Loss Area
Fortunately, the damage from the water remained in a small area and did not spread. The techs used their moisture detection equipment to verify the scope of the loss and set up drying equipment to ensure the interior of the vanity dried completely.

Monitoring The Drying Process
SERVPRO techs take measurements throughout the drying process to be sure the loss area attains drying goals. This attention to detail eliminates the potential for secondary issues such as foul, musty odors remaining behind.

Remediation of Mold
The leak under the vanity had been going on for some time, and techs found evidence of mold growth that required attention. After drying the interior, techs removed the mold-damaged sheetrock and disposed of it. Air scrubbers ran during the drying process to capture any airborne mold spores and inhibit the chances of spreading to other areas of the home. Once the mold dried, techs used hand vacuums with HEPA filtration to clean away the infestation.

Cleaning and Proactive Mold Treatments
SERVPRO techs cleaned the surfaces with their professional-grade cleaners. Because the techs performed mold remediation, to ensure the problem did not return before the homeowner had the bathroom updated, they applied antimicrobial sealant to inhibit any mold growth. All of these actions assisted the homeowner in having the bathroom ready for the planned cosmetic upgrades.
