Why We Take Immediate Action

Many water damage events require immediate action to be taken to find the source of the water and begin mitigating. An immediate response helps to minimize the damage, cleaning and restoration costs. Water is particularly invasive. That’s why SERVPRO arrives quickly and starts working immediately.

Our water damage timeline below will give you a better idea of how water damage affects your home or business – and more importantly – how quickly the damage can spread.

• Water quickly spreads throughout your property, saturating everything in its path.
• Water is absorbed into walls, floors, upholstery, and belongings.

Within 1 – 24 hours:
