SERVPRO of Colonia, Woodbridge North, Perth Amboy offers professional insights and services to help you navigate through an appliance leak emergency effectively.

Immediate Response and Safety Measures

Upon discovering an appliance leak, it's crucial to act swiftly to mitigate the damage. Start by turning off the water supply to the affected appliance to prevent further leakage. If the leak has caused significant pooling of water, use towels or a mop to absorb as much water as possible. Safeguard electrical appliances and ensure no electrical outlets or devices are submerged in water.

Next, assess the extent of the damage to determine if professional assistance is needed. Even seemingly minor leaks can lead to hidden moisture accumulation within walls, floors, and other structural components, potentially causing long-term damage if not properly addressed.

Professional Water Extraction and Drying

Even after you've taken initial steps to contain the leak, residual moisture can linger in hard-to-reach areas, promoting mold growth and compromising structural integrity.

Our industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers facilitate efficient drying, minimizing the risk of secondary damage and mold proliferation.
