At Your Property Quickly1-Hour Response Time
When it comes to leak detec tion and leak location, time is absolutely of the essence. The longer water damage from storms, bad plumbing, leaky roofs or other causes goes undetected, the greater the risks for your health and safety. At Accutech, we understand that rapid response is essential to the success of our business. That’s why we have our one hour guarantee. When you call us, you can count on the reliable fact that we will be at the scene in one hour or less, removing any water from you home.
But what about preventing those leaks from happening in the first place? Though we can’t do anything about floods due to storms and bad weathe r, and sometimes overflowing toilets can’t be averted. These things just happen, but it’s always a good idea to have contingency plans in place for when they do. A wet/dry vacuum is a smart investment, as is a common toilet augur for clogged pipes. Though there will be times when you have to call on professionals for dry out or plumbing services, there are others times where you can begin drying out while you are waiting. Check out our previous blog about wet carpet. We listed a few tips there that will help lessen the water damage.
Along with contingency plans, it’s a fantastic preventive measure to include leak location and leak detection as part of your home or other property’s routine maintenance. Often, leaks are hidden behind walls or in the attic, so by the time you realize that you have water damage problems, thousands of dollars of damage may have already happened. And as we often point out here, water damage doesn’t just threaten the structural integrity of your home, it also causes mold growth. Mold growth can have serious consequences for your health, particularly the very young or the elderly.
When we think of the ravages of water damage, we immediately think of the enormous expense it might potentially bring. Carpets, rugs, wood floors, expensive tiling, as well as our walls and ceilings are vulnerable to Sarasota water leaks. Accutech’s IICRC-trained staff uses state-of-the-art scientific instruments and tools to detect and repair water leaks.
