What affects one unit can affect several, SERVPRO can get the water out of your Niagara Falls apartment quickly

Because of the way apartments get constructed, sharing walls and ceilings with other units, when one structure gets affected, it can lead to loss within other residential areas within the property. It is vital to engage restoration services as fast as possible to lower the risk of having to replace different areas of the structure or contents that belong to tenants.

What Problems Arise From Water Damage in an Upstairs Apartment in Niagara Falls?
One of the biggest issues when it comes to commercial water cleanup in Niagara Falls apartment properties is tracking the migration path of the water. Frequently seen issues in apartments with water loss include:

    •    Soggy ceilings
    •    Buckled sheetrock
    •    Wet carpet
    •    Saturated furnishings from water coming through a ceiling?

Carpet Needs Special Handling For the Best Outcome
As long as the cleanup efforts begin rapidly after the initial water loss event and the water has not been allowed to degrade, the carpet most likely has restoration potential. The techs always know what type of carpet they are dealing with because they test the fibers, so the appropriate cleaning agents and methods get chosen. After water extraction, SERVPRO technicians may encounter problems on the carpet such as:

    •    Staining from varnish on furniture
    •    Water spots requiring removal
    •    Shrinkage and loss of adhesion of the backing
    •    
    •    Drying in Place Limits Disruptions to the Apartments
One thing may property owners have a concern with during mitigation for water loss is the upheaval of their tenants' lives. SERVPRO technicians carefully work around residents whenever possible and dry both structural elements and contents in place to limit the need to move out items.
