My Bathtub Overflowed, Now What?

Water damage restoration after overflowing bathtub

Routine activities at home that seem as innocent as bath time are not necessarily free from causing accidents. For instance, a busy parent juggling his or her responsibilities while overseeing a child’s bath could leave momentarily and return to the bathroom floor and nearby hallway covered in water.

While some of the overflow can be cleaned up immediately, some consequences do not reveal themselves on the surface or right away. Mold and microbes can develop within hours, and with enough moisture exposure, the flooring can delaminate.

If an accidental bathtub overflow occurs in your Charlotte,NC home, the skilled team at SERVPRO of South Mecklenburg County can restore your property back to its prior condition. Our technicians prioritize fixing all the damages and preserving your property so that you can return to living in your home in its best condition as soon as possible.

SERVPRO’s Cleanup Technologies

Our highly trained restoration specialists possess The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), meaning that they are certified to employ the best practices in water restoration, fire restoration, and other cleaning and restoration courses. The sophisticated cleanup and sanitation tools used to restore your home include:

• Extraction tools to assess water removal for both the structures and the contents.
• EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions that remove bacteria, mold, and other potential sanitation risks from water damage.
• Moisture sensors, meters, and thermal imaging to measure moisture levels and calculate drying goals.
• High-powered centrifugal air movers and dehumidification equipment to isolate and remove the moisture from surfaces and from the air.
• Deodorization equipment, including thermal foggers, remove water damage odors at the particle level by penetrating the surfaces.

How SERVPRO Saves Your Home from Water Damage

SERVPRO of South Mecklenburg County’s extraction tools, including mops, squeegees, rovers, and extractor wands, can remove moisture from a variety of surfaces such as carpet and pad, drapes, upholstery, and drywall.

Water extraction is much more effective than relying on drying with just air movers and dehumidifiers. It also lessens the risk of secondary damages that could be created by overworked or underutilized drying equipment.
