Flood Damage inside Property

Flood damage, regardless of the source, is often preventable if the right safeguards are taken. Inspection of private and commercial property is the key to keeping homes and businesses dry and secure despite what failed plumbing or mother nature can throw at us.

At SERVPRO, we try to make flood damage in San Mateo as rare an occurrence as possible.

Our inspectors are some of the most trained in the restoration business when it comes to keeping your structures water-free. A scheduled inspection to analyze your property before damage has occurred is free. We will identify probable sources of water such as unprotected pipes that could burst or rain gutters that are damaged and need replacing. Once finished, we will provide a list of recommendations and a complete price list of everything that our inspectors suggest.

When the worst does happen, though, we're ready for it. We maintain a 24 hour, emergency response and removal team available weekends and holidays. Our professional crews are ready to begin removing water within minutes after arriving at your property and determining both the fastest and least damaging option.

Once the water has been eliminated, our crews will begin the drying and dehumidification process. We maintain a series of high-speed fans that increases airflow over carpets and furniture to prevent water damage by increasing evaporation. Our commercial grade dehumidifiers draw the moisture from floors and walls to prevent warping of floorboards and rot of drywall.

SERVPRO of San Mateo is locally owned and operated. Your homes and businesses aren't just a job, they are part of our neighborhood and community. Call us today at 650-931-6060 to schedule a clean-up or for a free inspection.
