If a plumbing malfunction requires water removal for your San Mateo home, SERVPRO can begin the cleanup process within hours of your initial contact. Your local SERVPRO is also licensed to render general contracting services (license #937457) to restore your residence after disaster cleanup has finished.

Preventing Burst Pipes in the Sunshine State

Californians might not have to worry as much about frozen climates causing burst pipes, but plumbing clogs and obstructions can cause similarly costly issues.

Common sources of pipe clogs include:

• Fats, oil, and grease buildup in pipes
• Non-flushable paper products such as paper towels
• Sewer line obstructions caused by tree roots and debris

If carpeting outside of the bathroom has been affected by contaminated water, disposal may be necessary to prevent the spread of mold or microbes in your home.

SERVPRO Technicians Sanitize Your Bathroom

When a water damage situation involves the sewer system, sanitation is key to keeping your home safe. SERVPRO uses a variety of cleanup modalities paired with EPA-registered biocides to combat microbes and bacteria. These can include:

• Pumps and sprays
• Manual application with cleaning cloths and sponges
• Injection systems

Sanitation is critical to successful drying and to mitigating odors in tandem with deodorization equipment like ultra-low volume (ULV) foggers. After sanitation in a gray or black water situation, structural drying and repairs can begin.
