Call SERVPRO to clean up and dry the damage caused by a burst or leaking pipe.

Experiencing a water loss of any kind can be difficult for you and your family.

Structures can be damaged by stormwater flooding or plumbing system failures.

It is essential not to stress because help is available to get your home back to preloss condition and your family routine back to normal no matter the source. The first thing you will want to do is focus on minimizing damages. Make sure the water is turned off and the source that is causing the water damage is repaired. If you are not sure where the source of water is coming from, SERVPRO of El Centro/ Salton City can help locate the source and will make the repairs or recommend a qualified service provider. 

Once the storm flooding has subsided or the water flow has been contained, the next step is extracting the water and starting the drying and recovery process. It's vital to begin drying quickly because excess interior water moisture can damage walls through wicking action and gravity. SERVPRO of El Centro/Salton City has special equipment to dry the damp building materials and also the interior air. Our equipment prevents high moisture levels from causing secondary damage in your home (or business.) Our goal is to get a wet structure entirely back to a dry condition in four days or less to prevent potential mold growth and to prepare for any necessary rebuilding and restoration services. 

Depending on the amount of damage, you might have your insurance company get involved.  Typically, if the damage is a "smaller loss" and costs less or close to your insurance deductible it's best to handle it out of pocket to prevent an increase in policy rates with your insurance provider.  Either way, SERVPRO of El Centro/Salton City can help.
