Water Damage Triggers Many Issues in Little Rock Homes – SERVPRO Is Well Equipped

When a broken pipe in your Little Rock home spews water, it can leave the wall interiors soaked. If you do not realize this soon, the water can seep through drenching carpeted areas within rooms and flooding the tiled sections. The water spreading across the floor can lead to hidden damage in the subfloors. Dealing with these problems necessitates skills and resources such as what SERVPRO has to manage and restore the property to a preloss state effectively.

The need for water extractors is evident since all other water damage repairs in Little Rock homes cannot happen if there is still water stagnating in the house. Our SERVPRO technicians decide on equipment for the extraction depending on the amount of water or type of surfaces involved. High volumes of water require equipment with high vacuum-lift capacity.

How to Detect Water Leaks in Walls

  • Look for puddles of water near the wall
  • Look for discoloration on the wall
  • Scan for moisture inside the wall

Drying to manage water damage

Removing water from the walls is not adequate to control moisture damage. Taking specific action to dry the area is necessary. Our technicians drill holes between wall studs to get through the exterior wall and set air movers to force warm, dry air through the wall space, enhancing evaporation.

Very porous materials like carpets require the appropriate drying procedures even though they are not hidden. Drying by floating the carpet is one such option whereby air is blown from under the carpet. Our technicians can use 2 or 3-speed centrifugal air movers equipped with carpet clamps to float the carpet.  

Other techniques for drying carpets

  • In-place drying
  • Drying the carpet flat
  • Floating the carpet over the pad
