The longer the damage sits, the higher the costs can be.
When facing the results of disaster that has struck your home or business, you don’t have time to spare. When it is your home or livelihood on the line, you don’t want to wait for cleanup and restoration—you need it right away.
We understand just how important a fast response is, which is why responding faster to any size disaster is more than just a slogan to us.
When your belongings or business are on the line, time is not a luxury you have regarding disaster cleanup. In fact, time can work against you when water damage is involved, which can happen through anything from flooding, appliance and/or plumbing failures, and storm damage to water used to extinguish fires.
The walls, floors, upholstery and your belongings fall victim to the water as it only takes mere minutes for water to spread throughout your property, where it will saturate everything in its path.
The effects of water damage within the first 24 hours include:
- Drywall beginning to swell and break down
- Metal surfaces beginning to tarnish
- Furniture beginning to swell and crack
- Dyes and inks from cloth and paper items spreading and staining
- The beginning of a musty odor
The damage continues to worsen as time goes on. Between 48 hours and a week later, you could begin to see:
- The growth and spreading of mold and mildew
- Swelling and warping of doors, windows and studs
- Metal beginning to rust and corrode
- Paint beginning to blister
- Wood flooring swelling and warping
- The possibilities of serious bio-hazard contamination
If you wait longer than a week, water damage that is left unchecked can lead to a longer restoration time and higher costs, as well as impact the structural safety of the building.
Our trained cleanup and restoration specialists can be dispatched to your property or business at any time, no matter what day or time it is.
We can provide an immediate response to any size disaster, which can help minimize the damage and help keep the cleaning and restoration costs manageable.
As a locally owned and operated franchise, we are close at hand, ready to respond whenever the call comes in. A major perk of being part of a national network of over 1,700 franchises is that we have access to more resources for the cleanup and restoration projects that may be larger or stem from major storm situations.
Remember, if you need us, we’ll be there—no matter the time or day. The team of highly trained restoration experts at SERVPRO® of Kingston/New Paltz is available for emergency cleanup and restoration services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call us at (845)255-4334.
