In Monroe, Water Cleanup Services are Needed for Many Reasons

There are many reasons Monroe residents and business owners may require water cleanup services.  These could result from artificial internal sources or acts of nature. Whatever the cause, help is available.

Standing water can have many sources in this small southern city. It is for this reason, water cleanup in Monroe is often necessary. Over time, normal component deterioration eventually compromises your home or business’ plumbing and water tanks. It is also possible that vandals or mischievous children might turn on taps or sabotage your pipe networks in some way. Another, but not uncommon, way a water emergency may occur is by natural disaster. As a low-lying city surrounded by water and prone to the effects of hurricanes, Monroe often experiences severe flooding. Related heavy rains and storm runoff quickly inundate basements and ground floors.

As for internal plumbing issues, these can have many unexpected causes. One area apartment landlord recently found out that misbehaving teenagers can do a lot of damage. These hoodlums turned on faucets and broke some piping in his complex’s basement laundry room. By the time he discovered the vandalism, the basement had filled with several inches of water.

The owner contacted SERVPRO, a water removal business he had used in the past, to perform the cleanup. After shutting off the water, company technicians used an industrial-strength truck-mounted extractor and a submersible pump to quickly remove the water from his building. SERVPRO then used dehumidifiers and air blowers to reduce the room’s moisture to normal levels.

If ever faced with such a water emergency, remember these important tips:

    •    Turn off the water source, if possible
    •    Do not enter inundated rooms
    •    Shut off power to affected areas
    •    Don't try to remove standing water with your household vacuum cleaner
    •    Remove moisture-sensitive items like computer equipment, if you can do it without stepping in standing water

After you have taken the necessary precautions, call a water removal service you trust. If you need assistance, you can always call SERVPRO of Monroe / West Monroe at (318) 345-5121.
