Frozen weather will cause major damage to your home. SERVPRO has trained techs for any size water restoration service needed for your home.

Hicksville Spring Water Damage Restoration Could Need SERVPRO’s Mold Remediation Expertise

Winter is over, but the after-effects can linger in Hicksville homes. Ceiling repairs from water damage traced to ice dams or heavy snow and ice build-up can lead to the discovery of black mold where structural supports became and remained damp during thawing cycles. Damp and crumbling ceilings or walls indicate the need to evaluate for necessary water removal in Hicksville residences. Secondary damage from black mold signals its presence through musty smells and dark staining. 

What Safety Concerns Arise the SERVPRO Addresses When Preparing for Hicksville Water Removal Services?

Snug in your living areas on lower levels during the winter, you might be oblivious to the destruction overhead frozen burst pipes and openings in your roof inflict upon your Hicksville attic. Cleaning up water can involve finding trapped reservoirs of melting ice and snow that threaten to collapse structural components when you hope the problem instead is a minor leak. Ceiling repairs from water damage must wait until SERVPRO trained project managers assess the cause and the extent of the damage. Informed decisions might include controlled demolition to release water and to check for hidden attic mold removal.
