1 - Emergency Contact
When you call SERVPRO of Old Saybrook, a representative will take your information and any details about your loss. This way, our team can be properly prepared when they arrive at your property to provide service.
2 - Water Cleanup & Extraction
There may be flooding and standing water throughout your home when a frozen pipe breaks. When crews arrive, they will immediately begin removing all water from your property. The faster water is cleaned up, the more likely building materials like floors, carpets, trim, or drywall can be saved.
3 - Structure Drying
Once all standing water has been addressed, equipment will be set up around your property to ensure all building materials dry. Demolition is usually apart of the burst pipe cleanup process, as the source of your water damage is behind walls, floors, or ceilings. Drywall will have to be removed in order to ensure all areas affected by water are dried.
4 - Mold Remediation (As needed)
After flooding or water damage, mold growth is always a possibility. If moisture isn't addressed quickly enough, mold remediation may be required before returning your home to pre-damage conditions.
7 - Cleaning and Sanitizing
Once your structure has been dried, it will be clean and sanitized with an antimicrobial spray. This step ensures that your property is clean and free of bacteria or mold spores.
6 - Restoration
After the water damage cleanup process is complete, our in-house construction team is brought in for restoration. They can replace drywall, trim, flooring, or paint as needed to completely bring your home back to pre-damage conditions.
