Let your local SERVPRO of North Morris County professionals resolve your water damage problems.

SERVPRO Offers Rockaway Homeowners Rapid Water 

Repairs Preventing Secondary Issues

Water damage necessitates repair, whether it affects the floors, ceilings, or walls. Time is of the essence as moisture could further affect your Rockaway home's belongings, fixtures, and fittings. In some situations, the damage can be too extensive for you to manage; thus, getting help from a restoration service is paramount to ensure the process is done correctly.

Before embarking on water damage restoration in a Rockaway home, SERVPRO documents all of the damage first. This helps with any insurance claims you make. We create two different estimates, one for structure and another for contents due to insurance coverage as required by most companies. Our production manager scopes and estimates the cost involved with cleaning and restoration. We provide packing materials upon request for some of the most important items you wish to take out.

Effects of Water Damage

• Musty odors
• Unsightly stains
• Microbial growth

High levels of moisture cause musty odors and hideous stains, but it could most likely also lead to microbial growth. If mold starts to grow and is left unaddressed, it could cause structural damage that can be costly to fix.

Drying Wet Materials and Managing Humidity

After fixing what is causing the leak and assessing the situation, our crew focuses on removing water from your home. With commercial-grade vacuums and pumps, we remove excess water from floors, furniture, and carpets, then use a mop to absorb any moisture in hard-to-reach areas. After all standing water is removed, we tend to damp belongings. We set air movers and dehumidifiers to help dry damp areas of your home. Our crew helps determine salvageable and discard anything that is no longer safe to use. When dealing with content, it is important to sort them out before taking action.

The Best Criteria Are to Group Them Into:

• Salvageable items
• Unsalvageable items
• Questionable items
