Unwanted water can rot wood, soften drywall, and cause mold in your home.

Water leaks in your home are never a good thing.  If you do have an experience where water is not where it’s supposed to be, you obviously need to the cause of the unwanted water.  Once the problem is corrected, it is imperative that you remove any remaining water.  Damage caused by remaining water could be far more costly that the original cause itself.  Why?—because residual water will continue to damage key structures in your home—wood, sheetrock, etc.  Prolonged water exposure can rot wood, soften drywall, and cause mold —NOT what you want to face down the road.  So, as soon as possible after fixing a water release in your home, call SERVPRO of Brandon to come search out and remove that unwanted water—for both your pocketbook and your safety!
