A homeowner in Encino, CA called SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch when the supply line in a wet bar area burst affecting the cabinets, drywall and flooring. SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch began by setting up dehumidifiers to stabilize the environment and begin drying the materials. Next, we found the cabinets would not dry and removed the lower materials. SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch removed the wet drywall as well. We applied anti-microbial solution to the affected areas and detail cleaned. The homeowner elected to have her contractor remove the wet flooring and was pleased to begin the repair work for her home. Once again, SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch helped a homeowner get their home back to working order “Like it never even happened.” 

When water damage situations are left unaddressed, affected porous materials will rapidly start to deteriorate. This picture shows what will happen when soaked carpet is left unaddressed. At this point, the carpet delaminates, causing it to become unsalvageable because it was not mitigated properly. Don't let this happen to you! Call SERVPRO of Chatsworth / Stevenson Ranch the next time you experience a water damage and we'll help save as much of your property as possible!

Water Extraction is the first step of the Mitigation process for most water damage scenarios. Our commercial extractors are equipped with industrial strength Extraction Wands like the one in this picture. Once SERVPRO is called to the scene, we make water damage "Like it never even happened."

We have some of the leading industry standard equipment to help us assess each water damage situation at your home or business. The non-invasive moisture meter (black) helps identify moisture in non porous materials such as plaster or hardwood. The invasive moisture meter (yellow) beeps at the presence of moisture found in materials such as carpet and other porous materials. 

At SERVPRO Chatsworth / Stevenson Ranch, we address all sorts of water intrusion situations. Although most water damages leak into the home, sometimes a broken pipe in the crawl space can be a greater cause for concern. Our highly-trained technicians know what safety measure to take and how to maneuver in these tricky situations.
