Cocoa Home With Ceiling Leaks from Storm Damage

SERVPRO got called to this Cocoa home with a leaking roof from storms in the area. The technicians found evidence of the need for water damage remediation from the water stains on the ceiling. The techs began scoping the attic to determine the scale of the roof damage. SERVPRO techs performed temporary repairs using a securely attached tarp to stop any further water damage from occurring to the home.  

Cocoa Home Gets Emergency Services Water Damage Cleanup 

After securing the roof against allowing any further water damage to enter the Central Brevard property, the SERVPRO technicians worked on using their professional equipment to extract as much moisture as possible. When SERVPRO performs water clean up in Central Brevard properties, the techs use their water removal services equipment to pull up as much moisture as possible. During the water damage remediation, this action reduces the time needed to dry the attic and ceiling, which inhibits additional damage from happening to the structure.

Controlled Demolition is a Common Part of a Cocoa Home Water Damage Remediation Project

Fortunately, this Central Brevard property owner brought in the certified techs from SERVPRO to handle the water damage remediation quickly after it was apparent that the roof leaked. The technicians used the moisture detection equipment to determine the ceiling areas that collectively still showed up as cooler on the infrared camera, which indicates water is present. SERVPRO IICRC certified technicians measured around the sheetrock on the ceiling to ascertain how much of the building materials had taken on water. Then, the technicians cut off only the damaged portion, which also opened up the area for complete drying. Along with the sheetrock removal during the water damage remediation in the Central Brevard property, SERVPRO techs also removed the crown molding and insulation to ensure that area dry within the parameters set by the SERVPRO technicians.

Specialized Drying Techniques in Cocoa Properties During Water Damage Restoration Services 

SERVPRO technicians set up air movers both in the attic and below angled upwards to attack the wet attic space above and below. Using multiple air movers in tandem with industrial dehumidification units assists with rapidly bringing down the interior moisture. SERVPRO technicians carefully monitor the process and take readings the entire time to ensure that the air moisture readings stay on track with the drying time scheduled by SERVPRO techs.

Once the ceiling and attic were verified as dry through the various equipment readings, SERVPRO technicians moved on to the final step before making structural repairs on the Cocoa home. All affected surfaces got hand-cleaned to ensure that no harmful bacteria was present. Water degrades rapidly, and even clean rainwater can deteriorate and have bacteria or mold growth as fast as 24-hours after a home disaster. That is why it is essential to bring in a professional water damage restoration company as quickly as possible to Central Brevard properties. With the ability to handle ceiling repairs from water damages as well as the leaking roof from storms and interior cosmetic updating, local Central Brevard residents count on SERVPRO to make the damage "Like it never even happened," as seen in the After Photo of this Central Brevard home.
