SERVPRO has the professional equipment to extract the water and dry out quickly a Monroe garage

It can be overwhelming to see standing water in your garage, and the problem can get amplified in the case of an attached garage where the water can easily penetrate the rest of your Monroe home. The cleanup of the water needs to begin quickly, or the loss can increase.

What Tools Do I Need for Water Cleanup in My Garage?

A pipe break in a Monroe garage can need water cleanup on a significant scale rapidly. Unless you have environmental monitoring in the area, it is likely a pipe break that occurs after the household goes to sleep can gush all night. The concrete substrate that makes up most garage floors allows water to pool, and the majority of garages have no set drainage beyond through the garage door. The problems can mount quickly, including:

• Items stored on the ground or bottom shelves get water exposure
• Anything in a cardboard box gets saturated
• Water can wick rapidly into sheetrock
• Appliances like washers and dryers may become damaged

SERVPRO Brings the Right Equipment Every Time

Extracting and drying a garage often means moving out items to another area for drying. Many homeowners use this time to consider new ways to get organized in their garage and use shelving with the lowest levels a couple of inches off the ground to avoid this scenario in the future. The exaction equipment makes quick work of removing the water, and the air movers assist in pulling any remaining embedded moisture out of the concrete floor.
