Unexpected Water Damage From Underneath Your Nashville Residence

SERVPRO Technicians Quickly Assess and Remediate the Damage Regardless of the Source of the Excess Water in Your Home

As a Nashville homeowner, you can find yourself surprised at the varying degrees of threats that your residence can experience throughout your lifetime. While you work to stay ahead of the curve as much as possible, changes in the environment and readjustments of the earth below your house could allow for unexpected occurrences that you have yet to experience.

Among these unexpected threats is water damage coming up from beneath your Nashville home into the crawlspace area and adversely affecting your lower floor. Various effects could result from pooling water underneath your house, and others that can occur if the primary threat is persistent moisture.

One of the most significant concerns that homeowners should have when water damage arises in this area of their property is the effect it has on the floors. Moisture and dampness can warp wooden floors, or saturate and irreparably damage carpeted areas. Our SERVPRO technicians can help you to restore these areas, and if the damage is too considerable, to remove them to prepare for replacement.

With environmental changes like newfound springs on your property, sometimes containing and diverting the water can be almost impossible. In these cases, our SERVPRO technicians incorporate encapsulation for this area beneath your house to protect it from dampness and persistent water flow. This thick plastic coating on all of the supports, walls, and underneath flooring overhead can help to eliminate moisture from this previously affected area.

Often water diversion and ongoing drying efforts are encouraged by the professionals on site. In these cases, we recommend the installation of dehumidification machines, and sump pumps to remove the water away from this area of your house, or both. Removing the threat of persistent moisture can help keep the structural elements of your home stronger and help them to last longer.

You might not become aware of a threat like moisture and water damage from below your home until you experience the effects throughout your house. Even when these conditions are upon you, our SERVPRO of Madison / Goodlettsville experienced restoration experts can help you get things back to the way they should be.
