Montville Water Damage Got You Down. Look-Up to SERVPRO for Cleanup and Restoration

Addressing Skylight Water Damage in a Montville Home   

One particularly tricky area of water damage that homeowners may be surprised by is the type that occurs due to loose window and skylight seals. Homeowners may not consider this risk often. Still, without occasional maintenance, window seals eventually loosen and allow water into the home. Not only does this create problems for homeowners, but it is challenging to clean without professional-grade mitigation.

If your Montville home needs water damage removed, certified SERVPRO professionals are more than happy to act with you and your insurance adjuster to restore your home to a preloss condition with state-of-the-art tools and techniques. If your home requires repairs after damage, your local SERVPRO also has a general contracting license (#13VH06046200), for a one-stop restoration and repair service.

Signs of a Damaged Skylight

Drafts
When your skylight is closed, you may notice a quiet whistling or rushing sound that can indicate damage that is inviting air to pass through it. This can weaken the insulation and ultimately increase your HVAC costs.

Cracks
This problem is much more easily detected and is most commonly caused by environmental issues like structures shifting over time, but it can also occasionally be prompted by a faulty installation.

Leaks
One of the best ways to mitigate leak-causing condensation developing on your Skylight is by ensuring that ventilation and humidity levels are adequate in the room. Often, skylights are placed in interior bathrooms to emit sunlight. These rooms are notorious for excess moisture from water usage and poor ventilation.

What SERVPRO Can Do

While cleaning and drying a water-affected area are crucial to keeping it safe for homeowners, proper home restoration procedures are vital to ensuring the space is comfortable and livable once more after a disaster. We can inspect the roof area around the skylight, and if damaged, we can repair or replace sheathing, shingles, and reseal the opening to keep out rain and moisture.

Restoration of a water affected home can include a variety of tasks, such as:

?    Floor cleanup, repair, and reinstallation of materials such as carpets, carpet pads, as well as hardwood and resilient and non-resilient flooring.
?    Removing and replacing contents for the installation or repair of floor coverings.
?    Repairing and replacing subflooring as needed.
?    Installing tack strips and re-seaming the carpet.
?    Cleanup, replacement, or refinishing of structural materials like walls, plates behind baseboards, insulation, ceilings, vapor barriers, and framing.
