Even if you think you can handle your water damage on your own, it's always better to call in the professionals. Not all water damage is created equal and it takes the right knowledge, tools and experience to make sure the cleanup and restoration is done right the first time.

Here are some reasons why you should always call the professionals at SERVPRO of Richmond and SERVPRO of Henrico to handle your water damage:

• Your Health and Safety - if the water damage is from a flood or outside rain water coming into your home, that water is filled with bacteria, chemicals or other toxic materials that can affect you and your family's health. The specialists have the right knowledge and tools to safely remove the water without being exposed to those harmful toxins. 
• The Proper Tools - you may think that opening windows, soaking up water with towels and cleaning with bleach will help, however, you're only wasting valuable time. Plus, you're still not treating the wood floors that may buckle or expand. The professionals have water extractors, air-movers, and dehumidifiers that soaks up and evaporates the water quickly and efficiently.
• Efficient and Fast Work - water damage can be extremely detrimental to your home's structure and floors. The water must be removed quickly, electrical systems need to be inspected, and walls and floors need to be treated. Our crews will respond quickly, with certified technicians and complete the work with the proper knowledge and procedures to potentially save your floors and home within hours.
