Living in an apartment complex can have many pros and cons. Things can go wrong, and it can be hard to know what is going on or if the problem is even coming from your unit! Let’s discuss the top sources of water damage in your apartment complex and how SERVPRO Belle Meade/West Nashville can help. 

Top Sources of Apartment Water Damage

If you live in an apartment, we implore you to regularly look for signs of water damage to protect your apartment and belongings. Potential signs include dark spots on ceilings, mold and mildew growth, and leaking or standing water. When living in an apartment, it is important to note that a unit above or below could have a water leak that affects your living space. Below is a list of common causes of leaks in apartment buildings: 

• Appliance leak
• Corroded Pipes
• Faulty HVAC system
• Dripping faucets or shower heads
• AC leaks or condensation
• Faulty plumbing

SERVPRO Water Damage Restoration Services

When water damage strikes, it is important to contact trusted water damage restoration professionals in order to get the job done right the first time. SERVPRO Belle Meade/West Nashville is equipped to handle all of the stages of water damage restoration. 

• Assessment: Upon arrival, our team inspects the scope of the water damage to the area. It is important to know how far the moisture has traveled so that restoration can be completed properly. 
• Water Extraction: First, the majority of the water is removed. We use vacuum units and pumps during this process. 
• Drying and Dehumidification: When the standing water has been removed, we use specialized equipment to remove the rest of the harder-to-reach water. Air movers and dehumidifiers will be used during this part of the process. 
• Cleaning and Sanitization: In the final stage before restoration, we clean all restorable items and structures that have sustained water damage. We will clean these materials using various techniques that ensure your apartment's deodorization. 
• Restoration: Lastly, we will bring your apartment to pre-water damage condition. Restoration will either involve minor repairs, such as new carpeting or drywall, or be more in-depth construction. No matter what, you can trust that SERVPRO will make it as if water damage “never even happened.”
