Water Loss in San Jose CA

This flooded basement in San Jose, CA was a result of a storm flooding the basement with about 14 inches of water. The basement was pumped out and drying equipment was installed to dry the structure. Anytime there is standing water inside a building the water will migrate throughout the structure. The longer it sits the more damage is done, so getting the water extracted quickly is key is critical to mitigating the damage. In this case, with literally thousands of gallons of water, the weight and vapor pressure created pushes it into crevices and saturates building materials. Drying times of 3 days are typical, but in this situation additional drying time was necessary. All drying was completed within four days saving the homeowner time and effort. The customer was extremely impressed with SERVPRO's expertise and thorough cleanup to prevent secondary damage.
